Dear Wireless Community,

>From Tanzania Mr. Sekiku send me a vacancy in Uganda.

Nice Job for some WiFi geek.

When I was young, unmarried, had no mortgage and no kids, and an
unfulfilling job I would go myself. :-)

A Community Wireless Resource Centre (CWRC) is being established under the

equipment based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol for wireless networks, 
and operating in unlicensed frequency bands.

The CWRC seeks to recruit a project officer who will be engaged in technical
planning and will participate during implementations in the field.
