A weekend dedicated to hacking on yunity and foodsharing.de
From Friday, 07/10 7pm to Sunday, 09/10 midnight (officially but we will need some time to clean up)
We will work at the Co-Up - a hacking space used by Coding Amigos on Friday evenings.

This is the text we have been sending to hacking spaces and Berlin foodsharing forums:

Coding for Change - A hackathon dedicated to prevent waste and to expand the movement of sharing
Purpose_1: yunity.org would like to invite you to join the endeavour to look into the existing foodsharing.de php-code. The website helps over 150.000 people to save food and to share it with others.
https://gitlab.com/groups/foodsharing-dev
Challenge_1: 4 years ago foodsharing.de was programmed by a single programmer - “quick and dirty” as developers say. There are problems with the readability and extensibility of the code.
Purpose_2: yunity is developing a foodsaving tool (in multi-languages) to bring the foodsharing movement worldwide. We got over 50 inquires from people who want to start foodsharing at their local place. Together with the tool, yunity will be going to this these places to support the kick-start and to connect local sharing initiatives (like free-shops, repair-cafes, urban gardening, etc.) through a common interest: food.

Challenge_2: yunity is looking for developers with experience in Python and AngularJS who would like to join the development team.
