Interesting project! I hope you'll find people to work on this asap.
@Xavier: About Call for Code, (have just browsed the website) I'm not sure Open Collective Community itself could be seen as a "solution against climate change". I suspect that they are looking at solutions having immediate effects:

Call for Code calls on innovators to create practical, effective, and high-quality applications based on one or more IBM Cloud™ services (for example, web, mobile, data, analytics, AI, IoT, or weather) that can have an immediate and lasting impact on humanitarian issues.
For sure we could explain how Open Collective Community can help change communities, but we are a facilitator, not a "on-the-ground project" itself.
Let me know @Xavier if you still feel we should submit our project.

1. Connect RESQers with waste redirection points (restaurants, markets, festivals, conferences, etc) to stop food before it becomes waste. We imagine this'll require using Google Maps (or, whatever) with a reporting feature that connects [event organizers] with RESQers.
2. Connect people seeking Carbon Offsets with away to pay for tree seedlings to go to farmers who donate their excess wood to low income families (we're thinking that OpenCollective is perfect for part of the process). The UI would be for the farmers & low income families to interact as a kind of a classifieds for Carbon Offsets through wood redistribution.
