Are you familiar with setting up Mapnik and TileCache, and other  
components of the OSM stack? Do you want to volunteer time to help  
support disaster relief in Myanmar?

We’re urgently looking for one or two developers with time, right now,  
to help set up OpenStreetMap infrastructure in Myanmar.

Due to network constraints, to start they require tile rendering  
locally. They’ll be collecting data for OSM too, to provide very up to  
date maps of impacted areas. OSM will be integrated with Sahana. This  
system could very well be crucial in the relief and recovery efforts,  
and a great benefit to the people of Myanmar.

Brett Henderson has been working hard setting things up. But we can  
definitely use more help here. If you are interested to volunteer your  
technical skills, get in touch with me at “mikel at osmfoundation dot  
org”.
