Participated in the DevDerby 2010 programming competition today. I worked on the front-end as part of the Python group.
The goal was to:
Build a web based python application where volunteers and
volunteer groups can sign up and offer their volunteer efforts to
non-pit organizations who need the help. The hope is that this will
augment existing solutions like the Bloomington Volunteer Network:

Screenshots of the working prototype.
Although this is far from complete, the focus is on building a decent looking web app, within the 6 hours of time available. Worked on this along with Charles Brandt (consultant from IU) and Vijay (postdoc from IUPUI). Also, we had the help from a couple of kids (13 year and 15 year old) - Very impressed with their enthusiasm and how much they know.
