Distant job
-
I wonder if anyone here has any experience in doing distant job? I mean are there any projects that one could participate in (even for free) just to get some experience and practice? I'm personally interested in projects written in ASP and C++ (incl. MFC) WOuld be grateful for any information.

If you keen on working for experience and not money then have a look at SourceForge for some of the open source projects. Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

Have you thought about charity work? There are a lot of good cause's that desperatly need IT skilled people to do everything from PC building, to network admin to application development. As well as getting experience, you get to help out with issue's that are important to you/the society around you, plus you can give as little/much time as you like. Pick up your local copy of 'charity events' or 'green events' or what ever you have in your area - chances are they would love to hear from you!

Thanks, the idea of charity work is brilliant, but there's one problem. You know, I live in Russia and we don't seem to have any 'charity events'. Is there any information about green events available in the Internet or somewhere else online?
The only one's I know of are UK based, but it might be worth getting in touch with them and asking them if they know of anything in Russia: TRY Charity Jobs (www.charityjobs.co.uk[^]), this is for people looking to work for a charity and get paid, but it's all UK based and their IT section is generally tiny. OR Volentary Service Overseas (VS0) (http://www.vso.org.uk[^]) I REALLY want to do this, if you can spare 6 months to 2 years of your life, this would be a fantastic thing to do! Their desperate for IT skilled people too... When I've gotten myself out of student debt, I'll be having another serious look at this! Or you could try your local green group (like greenpeace, friends of the earth or people and planet), these groups general have excellent links with other organisations. Here in the UK you can also get information from libraries, would Russian libraries do the same?
