Please put down the skills you'd be prepared to donate to SkiffHack! Please remember that everyone has their favorite tools and that's just fine :) As much as possible we're going to try and let people build parts of the system in whatever they want to!

Tom Parslow

@almostobsolete (twitter) / @almost (github)

General programming in Python, Javascript (browser and server side), Ruby and PHP (if I really have to!).

I've worked with the Twitter APIs before. I also quite enjoy designing and implementing APIs myself!

Jamie Matthews

@j4mie (twitter) / @j4mie (github)

Python/Django, JavaScript and, if I must, PHP. Can probably help out with deploying the apps too.

Not technically a Skiffer, but I organise the Brighton Python User Group and generally hang round the Skiff occasionally. Happy to help out.

Mike Pountney

@mikepea (twitter) @mikepea (github)

Linux systems & application stack, security, networking. Puppet & provisioning/deployment. Arduino and basic electronics. Very noddy C, PHP, Perl, Ruby and Shell coding. Monitoring systems: Graphite, Munin, Nagios.

Also not technically a Skiffer, but I'm a director of the Build Brighton Hackspace, and so am happy to help out. And probably poach some of the code for our benefit too ;)

Mark Savage

@tysonsavage (twitter) / @tysonsavage (github)

Websites and apps in Python with Django, really basic Javascript - mainly just hacking together cosmetic UI or simple form stuff with jQuery etc. - but am really enthusiastic about changing that! PHP is v rusty, but if its a life or death situation I suppose could echo it together.

I'm pretty good at spotting & robbing quality code and mashing it together in a dodgy state just well enough to make cool things work :)

Steve Purkiss

@stevepurkiss (twitter) / @stevepurkiss (github)

I spend most of my time now helping people architect and plan systems by using good old marker pens and paper on which we map out user requirements and decompose into contexts and features from which we can then build a system.

I use Drupal to build those systems because it already has 99% of what I need, and the other 1% is sometimes tricky, but I enjoy not reinventing the wheel, and working on a system which enables others to make more use of the interwebs too, for free.

Premasagar Rose

@premasagar (twitter) / @premasagar (github) / premasagar.com

JavaScript, HTML5.1

Eric Kow

@kowey (twitter) / @kowey (github) / erickow.com

I tend to use Haskell, but I don't know any of the web stuff. Use me as a guinea pig

Richard Dallaway

@d6y (twitter) / @d6y (github)

I can do JavaScript, the HTMLs, and I tend to use Scala, but can be forced to use Java. Web APIs are fun.

Happy to make coffee.
