+
+## About the organization
+
+
+The Mission of Mercy is a one or two-day clinic in which portable dental stations are set up in a large public arena and dental screenings and services are provided at no charge to those who attend. Historically, demand for these clinics has been so intense that individuals often stand in line, as early as midnight, to receive the services. In the USA half of the states run Mission of Mercy clinics.
+
+## About the project
+
+
+The Mission of Mercy web application, or MoM for short, is a Rails based clinic management system that was originally created for the 2009 Connecticut Mission of Mercy clinic. The project's goal is to streamline patient intake, digital x-ray, and check-out processes during the clinic's operating hours. The MoM clinic management software has been used in Mission of Mercy clinics throughout the United States.
+
+## Tasks for developers
+
+
+The Mission of Mercy software project has a wide range of tasks for developers of all skill levels. The following is just a sample of items which can be worked on during the hackfest:
+
+- Upgrade to Rails 3.1 (Currently at 2.3.12)
+- Display warning if patient is less than 18 years old
+- Create insightful reports based on collected data
+- Improve user experience by decreasing data entry pain-points

+title: "Partido de Internet"
+---
+
+## About the organization
+
+The Partido de Internet, or PDI in short, is a political party in Spain whose aim is to promote [Liquid Democracy](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunitywiki.org%2Fen%2FLiquidDemocracy&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFZkb8HUZKIH4_hKpDXr2Z-4JnFnA). Liquid Democracy is a democratic political system that combines the advantages of both Direct and Representative Democracy. In a Liquid Democracy system citizens can vote directly on any proposition, or if they choose so, delegate their vote to a representative.
+
+## About the project
+
+PDI is developing a web application, Agora, to allow citizens to vote on the Internet. PDI will run for the next Spanish elections and if it obtains any representative, they will vote in the Congress what people choose using that application.
+
+## Tasks for developers
+
+Currently Agora is a Rails 3 application that uses Spanish electronic identity card (DNIe) to identify users. Right now it is tailored to PDI needs as a political party in Spain, but it final goal is to be a general voting app suited for any democratic organization. As such, there are a lot of tasks involved in generalization and i18n.
+
+- Translating the app
+- Create a general registration module for users
+- Backend to create proposals (it currently scrapes them from Spanish Congress webpage)
