How to engage voluntary developers in NGO-project?

Hi there!


A bit about my self: I'm voluntary with the humantarian organisation Engineers Without Borders, Denmark (EWB-DK).
 
From our website [http://iug.dk/index.php/uk/forsiden]:

As the Danish branch of the humanitarian organisation Engineers Without Borders - International, we work with other humanitarian organizations to provide life-saving assistance like access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and emergency shelter to people in disaster-affected areas, using our engineering and technological expertise. Moreover,  we provide technological, humanitarian aid to projects that can assist in alleviating human suffering and fight poverty.

To assist our members - and our member administrator - we are right now implementing an online member area. This I have decided to based on the Drupal installation of Open Atrium (http://openatrium.com/). At the moment we are in the BETA phase.

We have a minor - which could develop to a major - problem: I'm the only one in the organsation who have skills to implement and maintain the Open Atrium/Drupal installation... To prevent this to develop furthermore we want to engage some Drupal-skilled persons in our project.

I have now tried to engage people from the Danish Drupal community but without any luck... Apparently there is to much paid work to get in the Drupal-community so people don't have the time to engage in voluntary work...

Are you - in the UK - also experiencing this and if so: how du you engage new voluntaries to work with the internal processes such as development of a Drupal website?

Cheers
Adam
