---------- Forwarded Message ----------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 16:12:36 -0500 Subject: [DDN] Paid Volunteer Opportunities with Geekcorps in Spring 2006 Geekcorps Paid Volunteer Opportunities In bringing the World Wide Web to the whole wide world, Geekcorps http://www.geekcorps.org a volunteer-based international nonprofit development organization, is looking for IT experts to travel to Africa for several challenging IT-based programs that are changing the role of information and communication technologies in the developing world. --- Opportunities - Knowledge Management Experts If you have at least 3-5 years of professional experience implementing Knowledge Management (KM) systems in large multi-site organizations with disparate and disorganized intuitional organizational knowledge, you could be a Geekcorps volunteer with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) - http://www.comesa.int in Lusaka, Zambia. COMESA promotes regional economic integration through trade and investment, and needs to develop a KM system that will allow COMESA's disparate offices and divisions to share and archive information in an organized and accessible manner. - Object-Oriented Software Programmers If you have 3-5 years high-end PHP and object-oriented development, manipulating ASP/COM objects, and MySQL database experience, especially in 3-tier architecture, you could be a Geekcorps volunteer in one of two new programs we'll be starting soon, one in Kenya and one in South Africa. In Kenya, we are developing an integrated and automated connection between the Kenyan and Ugandan Revenue Authorities that will reduce border-crossing times from days to hours. In South Africa we are developing a cutting edge educational program for up-and-coming African programmers, the African Virtual Open Initiatives and Resources project http://avoir.uwc.ac.za - C++ Programmers If you've been a C++ programmer for at least 3-5 years, especially with Open Office or audio/video/presentation tools, you could be a Geekcorps volunteer with the African Virtual Open Initiatives and Resources project http://avoir.uwc.ac.za in South Africa. With the University of Western Cape, we are developing a cutting edge educational program for up-and-coming African programmers, and integrating KEWL.NextGen into Open Office as both an instructional exercise and to produce quality Africa-developed software. - Linux OS Developers If you can speak decent French and have at least 3-5 years of professional experience with advanced KDE/Gnome Linux, shell scripting, and PHP/MySQL you could be a Geekcorps volunteer in the Mali Connectivity Project http://mali.geekcorps.org Geekcorps is developing Linux-based mobile computing platforms for rural areas in Mali, teaching talented locals how to maintain and grow the systems in the process with great ingenuity and minimal expense. --- Timing Volunteers willing to work with people and innovate with minimal technical equipment in a developing country are needed immediately (Spring-Summer 2006). Volunteers will stay in Africa about four months, working on multiple projects and teaching small groups in a hands-on setting. More volunteers will be needed in Fall and Winter 2006-07 to continue the experience. --- Rewards Geekcorps can offer great benefits (in addition to that warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from doing good). International airfare, expat-level lodging, decent living stipend, and dedicated in-country staff are provided. Daily challenges and rewards are guaranteed. Interested?
