Dear all, A small clarification. The subject of the mail states that trainee and trainers are wanted but in the text there is a clause which states that they wont be trainer/trainee sessions. It was a mistake in the subject. The fact is that EACOSS is not interested in workshops where one party is perceived to be a trainer and another a trainee. Please refer to the text how they would like these workshops to run. Apologies for the mix-up ---------- Forwarded Message ----------
Subject: EACOSS Developers workshops-Trainees and Trainers Wanted Date: Thursday 09 February 2006 10:20 From: Lule George William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Linux Users Group Uganda <[email protected]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear all, On behalf of the East African Center for Open Source Software (EACOSS), I would like to invite the following categories of people to the EACOSS Developer's workshops. The developer's workshops have been initiated to meet 3 main objectives 1 - Bring together the diverse and scattered Ugandan developer community both experienced and aspiring. 2 - Develop and/or extend the skills of upcoming or aspiring developers under the care of experienced developers/programmers. 3 - If 1 and 2 are achieved, objective 3 then comes into focus which is to have a one stop reference point for the developer community in Uganda. This reference point can be used by anyone interested in the Ugandan developer community. This could be an NGO or the public and private sector in need of their services, information or any need that has something to do with the community. CATEGORY 1: Upcoming/Aspring Developers(20 Positions max) - You must have knowledge of atleast one programming language. At the point of selection, you may be required to demonstrate this knowledge. - You must be working in an IT related field or organisation. If we have some slots left, students in their final years of their studies maybe considered. CATEGORY 2: Experienced Developers/Programmers. - You must have at least 3 years of consistently developing applications using FLOSS platforms and softwares. - You must have good knowledge of atleast 3 FLOSS programming languages. - Contribution to an on going FLOSS project is a very big added advantage. N.B: Please don't apply if you are expecting a trainer/trainee relationship in these workshops. As you can see from the requirements, everyone has something to offer. The role of the Co-ordinators(from category 2), basically will be to identify ways of extending, sharpening (and where necessary, introduce new techniques) the skills of the upcoming/aspiring developer, a sort of guidance role. If you are interested, kindly send a brief profile of yourself (atmost 15 lines) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] All will be answered.
