      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi all, there is an EOI out for a Botswana national retail payment system.  I have requested EOI docs.  Recommend all of you do as well.  Feel free use this space to discuss and form consortia.  We weren't tracking this one so not sure yet if it is suitable for Mojaloop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.mojaloop.io/images/ZipYuhw3E-MT2Mmt33UvTXQYFApKIskXacaQxqxCyE4/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkubW9qYWxv/b3AuaW8vdXBsb2Fk/cy9hcnRpY2xlcy9i/cTE5MXh0ZDFmYTU0/ZW8yc3A0bC5qcGVn" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.mojaloop.io/images/ZipYuhw3E-MT2Mmt33UvTXQYFApKIskXacaQxqxCyE4/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkubW9qYWxv/b3AuaW8vdXBsb2Fk/cy9hcnRpY2xlcy9i/cTE5MXh0ZDFmYTU0/ZW8yc3A0bC5qcGVn" alt="Image description" width="629" height="953"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Infrastructure Engineer Needed immediately</title>
      <dc:creator>Steve Haley</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 14 Oct 2024 05:17:13 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/infrastructure-engineer-needed-immediately-1m76</link>
      <guid>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/infrastructure-engineer-needed-immediately-1m76</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;NEW DEADLINE 24 October 2024&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Mojaloop Foundation GTM team is looking for assistance from an infrastructure engineer from the community.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The person should have demonstrated experience working with deploying full Mojaloop environments and ideally some experience playing with IaC.  Contribution in the Infrastructure workstream would be a major plus and all work will need to happen within that workstream.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We have two POC deployments in Africa that require some configuration, problem solving and documentation to improve how we deploy Mojaloop.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As with the POC Roster project, we are open to both individuals and companies who can provide an engineer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IhrigY9UbynVzYmhXEDP-8EqFnDrTCvs/view?usp=share_link%5B%5D(url)"&gt;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IhrigY9UbynVzYmhXEDP-8EqFnDrTCvs/view?usp=share_link[](url)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;FYI in the next 2 days, we'll be posting a call for members of the POC Roster specifically related to infrastructure to give us a hand with a POC.  I know that the POC Rosters are out of date now, so we will move to asking you to submit for this specific call.  &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Mojaloop Foundation POC Roster call for applicants</title>
      <dc:creator>Steve Haley</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 22 Jan 2024 13:29:02 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/mojaloop-foundation-poc-roster-call-for-applicants-13lc</link>
      <guid>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/mojaloop-foundation-poc-roster-call-for-applicants-13lc</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone! &lt;br&gt;
The Mojaloop Foundation is calling for applicants to join the POC Roster.  All information is in the attached RFQ.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Deadline:  31 January 2024&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (its an easy application)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TL;DR - we are creating a roster of individuals that can work on proofs of concept with us.  These individuals can be from a company or freelancers.  If from a company, they will be working under a time and materials contract from the MLF to the company.  Applications and rate cards will be completely confidential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please post all questions to this forum unless the question involves personal information of an applicant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f9PnEAsy8tKwf34RcSfdulfmvaWLLHLT/view?usp=sharing"&gt;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f9PnEAsy8tKwf34RcSfdulfmvaWLLHLT/view?usp=sharing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Applications via email require only:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CV (consider highlighting relevant ML experience)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rate Card (hourly)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Response to role-specific questionnaire
(all instructions are in the PDF linked)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

      <title>Welcome to Mojaloop #opportunity</title>
      <dc:creator>Steve Haley</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 02 Jan 2024 08:32:43 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/welcome-to-mojaloop-opportunity-53gm</link>
      <guid>https://community.mojaloop.io/stevehaley/welcome-to-mojaloop-opportunity-53gm</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Many of you have been asking for ways to engage with business opportunities in the community.  We need an open and transparent place to present and discuss opportunities that arise.   Welcome to that place!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes potential adopters come to us and ask "Is Mojaloop right for me?"  Sometimes that's an easy answer but sometimes requires deeper design questions and often it requires community expert discussion.  Our growing GTM team is focused on central banker requirements - I will point &lt;em&gt;all others&lt;/em&gt; to this space.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes the Foundation or community members need to procure some assistance or hire new team members - this will be true of upcoming POCs in particular.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I intend this #opportunity tag to be used for:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Potential adopters to describe their requirements and community members to engage in &lt;em&gt;open&lt;/em&gt; conversation asking for further details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mojaloop Foundation will post &lt;em&gt;business&lt;/em&gt; opportunities for work directly with us.  (i.e. not collaboration opportunities)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RFPs / RFAs that are a good fit for Mojaloop and a place where community members can form consortia.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Community members can post opportunities for subcontracts or hiring &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overall, we love open source &lt;em&gt;collaboration&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;cooperation&lt;/em&gt; but people still need to eat.  Consider this a communal dinner table.  Take a seat!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.mojaloop.io/images/hYwTYMsPMOHvxPnA3uvmflnBX8dnYXYOQB26eFISC6s/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkubW9qYWxv/b3AuaW8vdXBsb2Fk/cy9hcnRpY2xlcy96/cDFja3ZoNmlnNXZs/ZmU5ajB2cy5qcGc" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.mojaloop.io/images/hYwTYMsPMOHvxPnA3uvmflnBX8dnYXYOQB26eFISC6s/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkubW9qYWxv/b3AuaW8vdXBsb2Fk/cy9hcnRpY2xlcy96/cDFja3ZoNmlnNXZs/ZmU5ajB2cy5qcGc" alt="Image description" width="880" height="506"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;{As I've spoken publicly about before, it is the decision of a potential adopter to speak publicly about their future opportunities with Mojaloop, not ours at the Foundation. Likewise if a community member brings an opportunity to us in confidence, it will stay in confidence until the adopter requests otherwise}&lt;/p&gt;
