The world economy is rough right now. With layoff and a slowdown in hiring, there are loads of developers out there who have the skills to be productive, but some of them may not have the tools. While I’m not in a position to hire those people, I have donated to Arnie Rowland’s cause to try to match unemployed developers with non-profit projects. While the developer isn’t going to get paid in cash, they are getting tens of thousands of dollars worth of software, which isn’t bad.
If you know an unemployed developer that you think might be interested, please send them Arnie’s way.
