Magnifying our calling as programmers

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints judiciously uses the varied talents of its members to further its work.  This practice is evidenced by many of the smart phone Church apps. These apps aren’t created by paid developers but instead are community developed.  Members of the Church who have programming talents volunteer their time and work together to create apps for the Church, which in turn saves the Church money.  As an LDS programmer, I would like to start contributing to these community developed projects for the Church so that I can grow my talents while helping the work of the Church, just as in the Biblical parable of the talents, which teaches that people should use their talents instead of hiding them away.
