Open Food Facts exists thanks to the citizens who give their time and talent in many different activities. We are a large international family that gives a unique character to this beautiful project, made for all, by all! 🌍✨

To facilitate the involvement of our contributors and allow the project to grow in a more dynamic way, we are setting up a Contributors Skill Pool, as well as teams of volunteers by theme.

✅ The aim is to match your skills and interests to the needs of the project.

Whether you are already a very involved contributor or have just arrived and want to participate, we invite you to fill in the form below. (All personal data you enter will be kept confidential and used only by the permanent team to contact you).

Contributors Skill Pool form in ENG/FR

• Projekbestuur

  We have tons of ideas and you probably have even more, but it is quite a challenge to prioritize them, to build a roadmap, and to manage projects when every participant is a volunteer with often limited time available.

• Ontwerp

  We need help to build a better user experience on the Open Food Facts web site and mobile app, to improve their design, to create impactful presentation materials etc.

• Ontwikkeling

  We have a lot of development work to do. On the Open Food Facts backend (Perl and MongoDB), API (JSON), web site (templatized HTML5, JS, Foundation), our Flutter mobile app for iOS and Android, but also to build new cool reuses etc. We have SDK projects in many programming languages to ensure anyone can reuse and contribute to Open Food Facts, in any language. We also have a growing Artificial Intelligence effort to simplify contribution work. Ons kode is op GitHub.

• Gemeenskaps gebou

  Ons het nodig om plaaslike gemeenskappe in alle lande te bou en hulle terselfdertyd wêreldwyd verenig.

  It is very difficult to bootstrap a local community in a country without living there, so your help to find the first very motivated participants is essential. Is u een van hulle?

• Kommunikasie

  Ons is nie seker wat om hier te skryf nie, kan u help?

  More seriously, there are lot of cool things that users, contributors and reusers do with Open Food Facts, it would be great to get more people to know about it. In particular, we need help for public and media relations.

• Spesiale projekte

  There are lots of interesting and original applications of food open data that we could work on with government food agencies, food producers, researchers, universities, schools, NGOs etc. Miskien het u alreeds idees? Indien u het, help ons asseblief om dit vorentoe te druk.

• Slack

  Slack is die beste manier om met ander bydraers, ontwikkelaars en hergebruikers te kommunikeer en saam te werk. It's a discussion forum you can access from your browser or your phone. Dit het heeltemal verander hoe ons saamwerk. Please try it, click here to get invited to our Slack.

• Facebook-groepe

  We have Facebook groups for Open Food Facts contributors in many languages. Joining them is a good way to get news about the project and to share announcements to a wider audience.

• Wiki

  We also have a wiki that we use to collaboratively document Open Food Facts and its sub-projects. From the wiki, you can learn how to help translate the multilingual information (categories, labels etc.) a food product might have (using what we call taxonomies). Jy kan selfs help om 'n voedselkategorie of 'n etiket by te voeg wat nog nie deur Open Food Facts ondersteun word nie.

• Operation Packaging

  Let's weigh the packagings of common foods to discover how much impact we have.

• Data quality effort

  We have a data quality effort that you can join here. We meet monthly (details on the wikipage).

• Your own operation

  If you have an important topic, you are very welcome to organize your own operation. Get in touch at contact@openfoodfacts.org
