> full and part time.

> About the Open Knowledge Foundation

> The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) is a multi-award winning
> community-based, not-for-profit organisation. The Foundation now has
> projects and partnerships throughout the world and is especially
> active in Europe. We build tools and communities to create, use and
> share open knowledge – content and data that everyone can use, share
> and build on. We believe that by creating an open knowledge commons
> and developing tools and communities around this we can make a
> significant contribution to improving governance, research and the
> economy.

> We’re changing the world by promoting a global shift towards more open
> ways of working in government, arts, sciences and much more. We don’t
> just talk about ideas, we deliver extraordinary software, events and
> publications. How to apply

> If you’d like to apply, please email jobs  okfn.org with the subject
> line “Python Developer – CKAN/Services” and a copy of your CV by
> Friday 23rd November and we’ll take it from there. We are flexible on
> employee versus contractor but we normally contract. We are also
> flexible on full or part time. Being based in and around London would
> be a plus but we are happy to consider applications from elsewhere.
