[open-development] FW: Land Portal project : Peter form Neo

Tue Jul 23 10:44:23 UTC 2013

Hi There

I'm new to the list  my background is community ownership (land/buildings)
- http://locality.org.uk/our-work/assets/

I'm involved in digital asset & enterprise development by and for
communities: http://www.ourdigitalcommunity.org.uk/ which involves heading
up an action research and learning programme for DCLG and, working with The
Creative Coop, supporting the design/implementation of numerous open hybrid
networks across the UK.

I'm a member of the UK Local Public Data Panel and a Faculty Member of the
Open Institute (London).

In the past, I helped create The Place Station:
http://www.theplacestation.org.uk/ and am a big fan of The Land Portal for
obvious reasons! 

So, if we can help out/get involved in some way, please do get in touchŠ

> Hello all,
> 
> 
> 
> I am writing to ask for advise and support in relation to the Land
> Portal project. We are looking for freelancers or small technical
> development agencies (with a strong knowledge of open data) to
> redevelop the Land Portal.
> 
> The Land Portal was launched in March 2011 as a global hub for access
> land information, supported by a network of international and
> grassroots land organisations focussed on land governance, development
> and social justice. Following a review of the Portal¹s first two years
> of operation, the Land Portal is mow ready for a rebuild.
> 
> The Land Portal aims to bring together fragmented online content about
> land, and to source new content through hosting online dialogue. The
> Portal is committed to build from the ground up on an Œopen
> development¹ approach: using open data and open source wherever
> possible.
> 
> We are currently fundraising to support an ambitious programme of
> development in 2014. From now to December 2013 we are looking to take
> the first steps towards this, through a series of agile development
> sprints such that the current Portal (a Drupal 6 site) can be retired
> and replaced over the course of Autumn 2013.
> 
> To do that, the plan is to take two parallel approaches: i) putting a
> call for proposals through the IFAD procurement system for single
> agencies who want to deliver the whole development process; ii)
> putting a note around for expressions of interest from freelancers or
> small technical development shops who may want to work on one or more
> small components of the platform.
> 
> Based on response to these two calls the Land Portal team will then be
> able to decide between commissioning the work to an agency, or
> building a team of freelancers to deliver the work.
> 
> It would be greatly appreciated if you could suggest any suppliers or
> individual freelancers the Land Portal team should send the call to;
> particularly people with strong open data and linked data experience
> who might be available for work on this over August - December sort of
> timeframe.
>

> All best wishes
