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:

lting_opportunities/mifos_tech_consult_india/
http://www.grameenfoundation.org/jobs/consulting_opportunities/mifos_tec
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.
