First of all, I generally wait a bit before making an opening bid - it makes it easier for me to know how others are bidding, and how I can position myself to beat or rival them.
.. however. I strongly agree with your ideas, your platform, your presentation and your general goal. I'm a firm believer that learning art and appreciation of and learning the language that we've butchered so much beyond belief makes our culture stronger. I've been an avid fan of Shakespeare since my mother, an ex-English teacher turned piano and voice teacher (and theatre junkie), introduced me to his work.
I firmly believe I could be an asset to your organization - more than as a developer, but as a supporter.
So, I'm bidding on this project now, earlier than I normally would. This means that my bid is negotiable, if people beat it too badly. Inbox me and we can discuss details.
I'll get into what I say during all my bids: I'm Jarett Dunn, I'm a young developer from Nova Scotia, Canada, and have no other projects on my plate. I'm very well-versed in iOS applications and can deliver you a fully-tested, bug-free, well-documented app within the timeframe we agree on.
I've worked with push and local notifications, gps functionality and rss feeds will be easy to pick up.
Please do contact me, at your earliest convenience.
