Re: Seeking Slightly Paranoid Android Developers for Hire and Internships

I can tell you what lists we are aware of:

MobileActive-Discuss
Mwomen
mobile society
mobiles for decelopment
software-specific lists: RapidSMS, Open Data Kit
liberation tech

to name a few we are part of (or are running.) All welcome and  
encourage listings of grant, job, and challenge opportunities.

Best,

Katrin
