[menlatin]

We are actively looking to find our next project.

If you have an idea that you think could improve our community post it here. Whether it is an app we build ourselves or for someone else.

Be sure to be specific.

www.cuah.com is defunct

Create a tolerance website or an online community discussion board. Coloradans United Against Hate — www.cuah.com — is an online “paperless organization” with a virtual billboard for posting stories and comments on local hate issues.

I've been working on a proof of concept for this idea. It is again a Java application running on Heroku + Postgres.

It's a small "message board" where you can create a post and then everyone else can start commenting on that post.

I'm not sure if I can go to the meeting tomorrow (03/02) but I will post here the application link as soon as I have a functional "prototype"

Reach out to the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County:

Something along the lines of:

"There are a lot of good ideas / initiatives in local government that are useful to the community - but there isn't always the support there to make it happen, whether financial or political. We have the capability to make it a reality."

Invite them to next meetup.

Idea: Partner with the Fort Collins Mural Project in order to create an augmented reality application to present enhanced content from a mobile device. The FCMP commissions artists and identifies walls around town to paint murals on. What we could offer is the technical app backend so that artists could upload their mural as augmented reality markers as well as enhanced digital content. The digital content could be as simple as interpretive information about the mural and artists or could be 3D tracked content that could enhance the painted content.
