“But I just want to help people in beloved Africa!” was my first thought when I was being oriented to the technology behind TEN3—servers, calendars, remote accesses. I just wanted to learn more about the curriculum training workshops this summer in Nigeria and how they are going to impact precious lives. After all, isn’t that what TEN3’s supposed to be doing? 

Of course, it didn’t take long for me to be thankful that the impatience of my thought life had an audience of one (well, two, if you count me). I had no idea the huge role technology has in supporting the work of impacting precious lives in Africa. Because so many of TEN3’s staff and volunteers are spread all over the world, the technology department is foundational to the greater work. And so are its needs. 

Currently, the technology department needs a temporary consultant who can help with trouble shooting our TEN3 work site server. The server is located on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from a hosting company, and is set-up as a LAMP server running Centos 4.8. Major applications include LDAP, Tomcat for running JSP Wiki, eGroupWare (a PHP program) and WebDAV.

A more permanent opportunity with TEN3’s technology department is an assistant server administrator, who can help monitor the servers, as well as help test new features or applications. This is a part-time position that could be combined with other duties to make a full-time job. It can also be a volunteer service opportunity.

Please contact our personnel manager to inquire. Thank you!
