Hi Frederick,
Yes-- we're definitely open to finding technical resources in country!
Given the high demand for technical talent in India, however, it's actually been
quite hard to find someone with the required skillsets for this position. We've been
looking in Nairobi as well, but again, haven't come across many suitable candidates.
Thanks for forwarding these positions to the mailing lists above-- they look like they
might be great resources for us.
If you have any ideas or leads, please send them my way.
Thanks!
Emily.

Given the growing tech skills in Bangalore and Kenya,
wouldn't it make sense to look for suitable candidates in the
region itself? BTW, even Bangladesh has an impressively-sized
GNU/Linux movement. FN

Hi e-Riders,
I've been lurking on this list for many years now and have enjoyed
watching the community grow. After almost 4 years, now, I
suppose I
should probably introduce myself. :-)
I'm a technical program manager at Grameen Foundation-- we support
microfinance organizations (MFIs) around the world by providing
funding, training, and technical support. I work
specifically on the
Mifos project (
http://mifos.sourceforge.net)
which is an
Open Source
MIS system Microfinance organizations can use to
manage
their operations.
We have several positions open on the Mifos team. Two are
full-time
positions based in Seattle (although there's
the option of working
remotely from the Bay Area):
http://www.grameenfoundation.org/jobs/mifos_program_mgr_prod_dev/
http://www.grameenfoundation.org/jobs/tpm_mifos/
But the two opportunities I think would might be of particular
interest to this group are 6 month in-country consulting
gigs-- one in
Bangalore, India and the other in Nairobi,
Kenya--
providing technical
support to our MFI clients that are deploying
Mifos and documenting
lessons learned and posting them back to the community:
http://www.grameenfoundation.org/get_involved/career_opportunities/con
su lting_opportunities/mifos_tech_consult_india/
http://www.grameenfoundation.org/jobs/consulting_opportunities/mifos_t
ec
h_consult_kenya/
These are all dream opportunities for the right person.
Please feel
free to pass along these positions to those in
your
network. If you
have any questions, you can contact me directly.
Cheers,
Emily.
