(NB: With all the recent twitchiness on the list, I don't know if this =
is acceptable type of mail to post to the list. So if not please let me =
know, and I'll do appropriate penance)

I am forwarding an e-mail I received on in case there are any Android =
developers who would be interested in helping these people out. There =
seems to be some budget.

They don't really mind where the person is based, but Skype would be a =
requirement.

>> We are looking for a programmer to join us in developing an app for =
Android.  The development work will be done with our experienced =
developer, so you don=E2=80=99t need to be a master programmer in order =
to qualify! The work starts right away and continues for the next two =
months. We have some limited funds to pay for the work.
>>=20
>> Details about the job: We're looking for an eager programmer to join =
our team and assist us on the app. We're hoping for about an 80 hour =
commitment over the next couple months and we also have some limited =
funds available. The development work will be done in collaboration with =
the experienced developer in our team in his guidance, so you don=E2=80=99=
t need to be a master programmer in order to qualify. This is a good =
opportunity to learn and also develop your skills!
>>=20
>> User stories are provided. For lot of the functionalities there are =
existing libraries. We will be using a cloud storage API, so a big chunk =
of the work will be about developing the UI.
>>=20
>> About the project: We're a team of four people working on a project =
to bring life-changing technology to people living in the slums of =
Africa. Called Virtual SafeBox, we facilitate and provide access to =
online storage space where people can store copies of their important =
documents (such as birth certificates, National IDs, etc.). Our project =
sprang from the Designing Liberation Technologies class at Stanford =
earlier this year.
>>=20
>> Being able to access such a copy can lessen the waiting time for =
getting a new original by months, which can mean life or death for =
someone in the slum trying to get a job or medicine. We've been working =
on this project for over 6 months and have already tested working =
prototypes of our product in various slums in Nairobi. For more =
information, check out our blog:http://designinglibtech.tumblr.com/
>>=20
>> About the team: Our team consists of two PhD students, a programmer =
with over 8 years of professional experience, and a social =
entrepreneurship professional. We're currently developing an Android app =
and are planning on launching our product in Kenya at the end of =
November. =20
>>=20
>> Location: We operate mainly from Stanford campus and the Bay Area - =
however, you don't need to be located here, as long as you are reachable =
by Skype or other means of communication.
>>=20
>>=20
>> Please email us and let us know if you're interested or have any =
questions! We are very excited about this project - welcome to join us!
>>=20
>> Thanks,

>> Virtual SafeBox
