FlatTurtle is not the copyright holder of this project. The project is mentioned here as we are a heavy contributor and FlatTurtle heavily relies on open data. Thanks to The DataTank, we can make datasets ready to be consumed by the turtles.

Getting started

A lot of projects? Let's put the pieces together:

Setting up your environment

Installing the different FlatTurtle projects is easy. Each repository has its own installation instructions that can be followed step by step. You can find the links to the relevant pages in the projects section above.

To make it possible for the FlatTurtle projects to work together you need to use virtual hosts. This way you can define local urls for each project like http://myturtle.local. Do not forget to add these server names to your hosts file (location dependent on OS) and do not forget to update the project specific configuration files to use the urls of your local instances.

If you don't manage to set something up, feel free to add an issue on the appropriate repository, or to contact us personally.

Jobs

As you can see, we still have a lot of open issues on Github. Do these issues look like challenges you can handle? Mail us your CV!

We like

  • developers who already fiddled with our codebase*, they know what they are up to,
  • freelancers who can solve custom requests,
  • spontaneous solicitations for fulltime or parttime positions and
  • people who dislike bullet points such as graphic designers and information architects.

* We believe that as a developer, you should never accept a job without first seeing the code you will have to work with
