			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to write something substantial about the projects I&#8217;ve been working on as a contractor, but it&#8217;s been long enough that just getting out a quick summary seems like it&#8217;s the best I&#8217;m likely to manage any time soon. Here&#8217;s some of what I&#8217;ve been up to for the last few&nbsp;years:</p>
<p><a href="http://womenslunchplace.org/">http://womenslunchplace.org/</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;this just launched in November. It&#8217;s based on the <a href="http://drupal.org">Drupal</a> open source <span class="caps">CMS</span>; my work included participation in the planning process, basic <span class="caps">CMS</span> configuration, building the theme based on static <span class="caps">HTML</span> <span class="amp">&amp;</span> <span class="caps">CSS</span> templates from collaborators <a href="http://jonsachs.com">Jon Sachs</a> and Andrew Rodgers, and writing some custom code to handle donations <span class="amp">&amp;</span> related&nbsp;info.</p>
<p><a href="http://rrankk.com">http://rrankk.com</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;local startup. I did most of the data layer and vote processing work, while a couple other people did the design and interface. The voting stuff was particularly interesting, as it gave me a chance to learn more about the state of the art in voting theory, and to contribute some patches to <a href="http://mako.cc/">Benjamin Mako Hill</a>&#8217;s <a href="http://rubyvote.rubyforge.org/">rubyvote</a>&nbsp;library.</p>
<p><a href="http://hear-db.org/">http://hear-db.org/</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;this is a custom contact-management tool I developed with the <a href="http://sph.bu.edu/"><span class="caps">BU</span> School of Public Health</a> and other local environmental health groups. Unfortunately, there isn&#8217;t much to look at without an account. I&#8217;m working on releasing the code behind this as an open source project, based on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.symfony-project.org/">symfony</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://skylineshuttle.com/">http://skylineshuttle.com/</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;a rare out-of-town project. My old friend Dave recently started this company, which runs shuttles from Duluth, <span class="caps">MN</span> to the Minneapolis airport, and points in-between. Dave is the sort of amazing guy who can teach himself how to build a scheduling and reservation-taking website while handling all the other aspects of launching a business. He&#8217;s also smart enough to bring in an old-timer like me to audit and modify his code for security, accessibility, and reliability before launching it&nbsp;publicly.</p>
<p><a href="http://alexandreemmanuel.com/">http://alexandreemmanuel.com/</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;a portfolio site for local painter Alexandre Emmanuel, developed with my friend <a href="http://cliffordjay.com/">Cliff</a>. This was an interesting challenge, because we needed to come up with a low-budget, bilingual site that could be cheaply hosted and easily added&nbsp;to.</p>
<p><a href="http://jpgazette.com">http://jpgazette.com</a>&thinsp;&#8212;&thinsp;another Drupal <span class="caps">CMS</span> site, which I worked on as part of the <a href="http://acj.org">Alliance for Community Journalism</a>. Beyond standard <span class="caps">CMS</span> configuration and theming, most of my work had to do with getting calendar events to show up similarly to their print&nbsp;edition.</p>
