Using Freelance

To get an idea about how useful a freelancer might be, do the following:

* The initial stage should be a prototype that can be finished in two weeks. It will be used to update requirements/design and decide on GO/NOGO

* You can specify the job as cloning an existing app. It should be doable in two weeks. Example: The puzzle game in Android. You could use the code produced to learn new things. Or you could ask them to clone Save My Cheese. It might give you fresh ideas about how to solve the problem.

ISS Globe

http://sciencehackday.org/project/iss-globe/:

"...the ISS Globe continuously shows you where the ISS is overhead. The team of sciencehackers used a translucent globe, two hobby servos, a MakerBot for 3D printing a few gears, a Teensy microcontroller and a laser that was mounted inside of the globe. Firmware controlled interaction between a laptop and the servos and a Python client controlled interaction between the microcontroller and the servos. The end product was a globe with a glowing red dot that would show you where the ISS currently was throughout the day."
