[meta comment]: Perhaps we should distinguish between "seeking contributors" and "seeking volunteers." I opened this thread hoping to see non-profits that need IT or software engineering support, but instead found a bunch of open-source projects looking for new contributors.

There is already socialcoder for non profits, which also provides project management and liaison. This thread would not do better than that service for non-profits, simply because it's more organized.

By the same logic, there is already Indeed, Monster, Dice, and LinkedIn, so the "Who is hiring?" thread would not do better than those services.

That service does a lot of the matching that you need and provides all roles from PM to designers to programmers. It's unquestionably better as you're dealing with volunteers. Unless you're picky with who you select and then lucky for them to have enough continued time for you.

Companies just want a resume and straight to interviews.

sorry for the confusion, i'll be sure to fix it for next month
