I'm interested in other peoples first hand experiences volunteering abroad as a software Engineer. Organizations like Engineers Without Boarders tend to be looking for Civil or power systems Engineers to help with construction projects while groups like the Peace Corps look for health or education experts. I imagine there must be a need for software Engineers to do data analysis, tech development for field work or software development to aid in disaster recovery. Any suggestions?
Thanks, I'll check it out. I didn't know they build a humanitarian organization around the open source project. I remember reading about the great work they did mapping Haiti after the earthquake to help first responds navigate the roads.
