Just to throw in a cautionary note (and only that). I don’t really know Ruby for Good, but from a glance at the web site it seems like their main emphasis is facilitating volunteer labour for NGOs. As someone who’s all but left the tech industry in part because it’s so hard to find work within it I consider socially or environmentally constructive, I wonder if that is the most ethically productive direction for developers, who tend to be more flush with money than with time.
I like the notion of an ‘Elixir for Good’ community, so I’m (truly) not trying to be negative. But I’m wondering whether ‘closely modeling’ it on Ruby for Good (if my gist of its purpose is correct) is a useful initial constraint.
