Web Designer
We are not 100% content with our page usability, so Oliver Ruhm kindly donated us a remake of the current design. So far, regrettably we didn't find the time to implement it, so we are searching for somebody with the skills and time to do it for us.

In addition to this we are searching for general help for some of our pages (http://www.socialenterprise.at/, http://zanzicode.com/) and for coming projects - creativity is highly appreciated!

Required skills:
 * Web Design (HTML, CSS, CMSs, ...)

Fundraiser
Description:

As with most NGOs, the main inhibitor for us to start loads of projects and change the world at once is money. We don't have as much as we need and we're not very good at asking for it. If you like fundraising, if you have a large network of people willing to give or if you just like organising events for a good cause we'd be happy to have you in our team.

Required skills:
 * Fundraising
 * Organising events

Support from ICT4D.at:
 * Subsequent employment in projects which are funded

Research on available grants
Description:

As ICT4D.at is a non profit organization, to be able to carry out projects, financial support via grants or sponsorships is vital. Our problem is that we often do not know which grants are announces by which institutions. Therefore we search a person who is motivated to use the internet and personal contacts for finding out about such grants and forwarding the information to us.

Required skills:
 * Interest in ICT4D
 * Knowledge about various institutions that announce grants or sponsorships

Support from ICT4D.at:
 * Generally dependent on grant / sponsorship
 * Subsequent employment in projects that receive grants

Public relations person
Description:

As we are focusing a lot on advocacy for ICT4D and would like to get into the media with the work we do, we need to do many marketing and PR activities. However, we all are not too much experienced in this field so our media influence and public reputation could be much boosted by a professional - we think.

Required skills:
 * Experience with PR and marketing

Conference coverage
Description:

One very important activity of ICT4D.at is the coverage of conferences related to ICT4D worldwide. This, of course, consumes much time and also the travel, accomodation and registration fees are a financial burden for us. Therefore we are searching for persons interested in ICT4D research and willing to blog from conferences to assist us in spreading news from as many interesting events as possible.

Required skills:
 * Interest in ICT4D research and conferences
 * Experience in live-blogging (not imperative)

Support from ICT4D.at:
 * Up to 50% of registration fees, travel costs and accomodation costs
 * We connect you to possible colleagues of ours and provide you with upfront-information on the speakers

News tracking
Description:

To keep track of news, interesting projects and people in ICT4D, it is necessary for us to read lots and lots of internet pages every day. This is a big workload and for us it is not possible to read and filter everything. Therefore we are searching for people interested and experienced in the area to assist in this task and contribute to the ICT4D blog.

Required skills: 
 * Experience in the field ICT4D - either project work or research/academic occupation
