itoot.net and ikbis.com need some extra hands. We are hiring in the following areas:

1. CSS Guru
If you are someone who knows about the creatures that live within the 1px world, then you are the right person for this position. Basically, you are someone who can’t sleep well tonight because you couldn’t get the sidebar 1px to the left! You dream of rounded corners, gradients, CSS3 and of that dark blue font color (e.g. #125D70)!

You believe that tables are for tabular data, and divs are for layouting. You utterly enjoy solving browser compatibility issues for IE6, IE7, Safari, FF and Opera. You enjoy it so much that you started to develop a sense of how these browsers think even on a bad day!

2. Videocast Authors
We are looking for amateur or professional videocast authors to work on experimental productions. Students are most welcomed. You will be responsible for the production from A to Z, from transcript to the audio, from shooting to editing…etc.

3. Community Leaders
If you are someone who enjoys growing online communities and playing a leading role in them, then we would like to have you onboard. You will be responsible for moderating content, creating content, answering questions, breaking news, organizing events, and celebrating occasions within the community of ikbis.com.

4. RoR Developers
You ditched PHP, MS, Python, Java for RoR! Then you are someone who needs to get in touch with us. We need RoR developers. Don’t shy if you have no experience or so-called “formal experience”. You could be a 16-year old kid who knows more about RoR than others who have several years of experience.

5. Project Manager
You will be responsible for overlooking the development cycles at TootCorp and following up with the team members on to-dos and milestones. You will be taking part in our 6-hour weekly brainstorming session, and taking notes of the many brilliant ideas that we never wrote on paper. You will develop by time the skill of knowing what’s brilliant and what’s lame. As a project manager, you will be also working on business proposals and following up with our business partners.

I love it when I see blogs that actually aim to garner a community activity. Such a blog is Run in Jordan, which is a community project, free of
charge for all who like to participate. According to its author, the reasons for starting the blog are so many, including that it is a must in a modern society - Obesity, Cancer,Diabetes, Insomnia, Stress (the silent killer), physical- and mental activities, lake of movements etc.
Wonderful idea! To read more about the project, check out their website.
Are there any such blogs based on activities in your countries?
