I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.
From 2009 - 2010 I was in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

I ended up clicking on 'other' in the poll because there is more than one reason I contribute to open source projects it is not that some of the other options are unimportant to me. After all who would not like having fun!,
Thanks Seth, I will be teaching a module on Linux next year and am certain my students will find the Opensource.com cheat sheets valuable.
