Many times one person may serve in one role on a project (for example, project leader) while the spouse serves in another role (for example, tester).

==Language requirements==

# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the Church Service Missionary Office at Church headquarters for authorization to extend the call. (See Note below)
# The Stake President will received your call letter and will extend the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.

==Backlogs ==

As we work to manage the numerous inquiries for LDSTech Church-service missions, we have found more interest than we have current opportunities for. This has been a pleasant surprise. More opportunities are being created on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best to match current opportunities with those who have matching skills and availability.

Most importantly, if you feel prompted to serve, don’t wait for us -– reach out and remind us of your desire to serve. When you do, please include a brief description of your availability and technical experience and skills. Many opportunities require service to be done at the Riverton, UT office building.

If you've inquired about a mission or already submitted your papers and haven't heard back from LDSTech yet, please be patient. As we work to manage the numerous inquiries for LDSTech Church-service missions, we have found more interest than we have current opportunities for. This has been a pleasant surprise. More opportunities are being created on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best to match current opportunities with those who have matching skills and availability.

Most importantly, if you feel prompted to serve, don’t wait for us -– reach out and remind us of your desire to serve. When you do, please include a brief description of your availability and technical experience and skills. Many opportunities require service to be done at the Riverton, UT office building. If you have strong interest in one of the following opportunities, please let one of us know.

* Testers
* Software Developers
* Interaction Designers
* Writers
* Project Managers
* Business Analysts

If you are not able to serve at the [[Riverton Office Building]], but are still interested in an LDSTech Church-service mission, please be patient with us as we try to find more opportunities to serve from home. These opportunities will grow over time and we are excited about the growth.

Tech Missionary Opportunities

Sierakowski: /* Current Church-service missionary opportunities */

If you desire to serve a Church-service mission, you can become a missionary for LDSTech. LDSTech missions are ideal for worthy people who work or have worked in the IT industry. You may be a young or young-at-heart tech expert who is worthy to serve a proselyting mission, but can not. You could also be retired or on a leave of absence and looking for an opportunity to serve a mission. This could be a welcome place to serve.

== Current Church-service missionary opportunities ==
The latest Church-service missionary opportunities are listed on LDS.org. To view the opportunities, on [http://lds.org LDS.org] go to '''Resources > Missionary > Church-Service Missionaries''', then click '''Browse All Opportunities'''.

For convenience, the following list shows the available Church-service missionary opportunities. Each of these opportunities links to the [http://servicemission.ldschurch.org http://servicemission.ldschurch.org] site listed above.

If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.

== Locations==
Candidates for each role can work remotely or on site in the [[Riverton Office Building]], depending on proximity.

==Time commitments==
Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months. At the end of the term of service, you can extend the missionary commitment to continue serving.

==Skills==
The skills required to serve an LDSTech mission vary based on the opportunity. See the opportunity descriptions for each advertised position. Senior couples with varying technical skills are especially welcome. Many times one person may serve in one role on a project (for example, project leader) while the spouse serves in another role (for example, tester).

==Language requirements==
At this time, an LDSTech mission requires the ability to speak English. We apologize to anyone that this disqualifies.

==Application process==
Please fill-in your personal information [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dGZveUllYUNfdThod1A5bkNoajA3Vnc6MQ here] to let LDSTech know of your interest in serving a mission. When you fill out this form, LDSTech can help you through the mission process. If you have questions about an LDSTech mission, please send an email to [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org]. If you prove to be a good fit for one of these positions, you will then complete the Church-service missionary application process. This process is described on the [https://www.lds.org/callings/missionary/church-service?lang=eng Church-Service Missionaries page on LDS.org]. In summary, the application process is as follows:

# First, you complete the [https://www.lds.org/bc/content/ldsorg/content/english/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries/form/pdf/recommendation-for-church-service-missionary-eng.pdf?lang=eng Recommendation Form for Church-service Missionaries].
# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

{{Note|To submit your Church-service mission application you must both fax it to 801-240-1726 and e-mail the PDF to [mailto:csm-support@ldschurch.org csm-support@ldschurch.org]. Also remember to have your stake president or bishop keep a copy for you.}}

==Backlogs ==
If you've inquired about a mission or already submitted your papers and haven't heard back from LDSTech yet, please be patient. As we work to manage the numerous inquiries for LDSTech Church-service missions, we have found more interest than we have current opportunities for. This has been a pleasant surprise. More opportunities are being created on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best to match current opportunities with those who have matching skills and availability.

Most importantly, if you feel prompted to serve, don’t wait for us -– reach out and remind us of your desire to serve. When you do, please include a brief description of your availability and technical experience and skills. Many opportunities require service to be done at the Riverton, UT office building. If you have strong interest in one of the following opportunities, please let one of us know.

* Testers
* Software Developers
* Interaction Designers
* Writers
* Project Managers
* Business Analysts

If you are not able to serve at the [[Riverton Office Building]], but are still interested in an LDSTech Church-service mission, please be patient with us as we try to find more opportunities to serve from home. These opportunities will grow over time and we are excited about the growth.

==Requesting a Church-service missionary==
If you're an ICS employee and would like to request a Church-service missionary for your group or department, send the position details and requirements to [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org]. LDSTech administrators will post the details on the [http://servicemission.ldschurch.org LDS.org Church-service missionary opportunity page], this wiki page, and will include it in articles and newsletters to find the right person for the position.

Candidates for each role can work remotely or on site in the [[Riverton Office Building]], depending on proximity.

==Time commitments==
Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months. At the end of the term of service, you can extend the missionary commitment to continue serving.

==Skills==
The skills required to serve an LDSTech mission vary based on the opportunity. See the opportunity descriptions for each advertised position. Senior couples with varying technical skills are especially welcome. Many times one person may serve in one role on a project (for example, project leader) while the spouse serves in another role (for example, tester).

==Language requirements==
At this time, an LDSTech mission requires the ability to speak English. We apologize to anyone that this disqualifies.

==Application process==
If you desire to serve an LDSTech mission with ICS, please contact [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org] to get more information. If you prove to be a good fit for one of these positions, you will then complete the Church-service missionary application process. This process is described on the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries?lang=eng Church-Service Missionaries page on LDS.org]. In summary, the application process is as follows:

# First, you complete the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries/form?lang=eng Recommendation Form for Church-service Missionaries].
# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

{{Note|To submit your Church-service mission application you must both fax it to 801-240-1726 and e-mail the PDF to [mailto:csm-support@ldschurch.org csm-support@ldschurch.org]. Also remember to have your stake president or bishop keep a copy for you.}}

As we work to manage the numerous inquiries for LDSTech Church service missions, we have found more interest than we have current opportunities for. This has been a pleasant surprise. More opportunities are being created on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best to match current opportunities with those who have matching skills and availability.

If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.

== Locations==
Candidates for each role can work remotely or on site in the [[Riverton Office Building]], depending on proximity.

==Time commitments==
Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months. At the end of the term of service, you can extend the missionary commitment to continue serving.

==Skills==
The skills required to serve an LDSTech mission vary based on the opportunity. See the opportunity descriptions for each advertised position. Senior couples with varying technical skills are especially welcome. Many times one person may serve in one role on a project (for example, project leader) while the spouse serves in another role (for example, tester).

==Language requirements==
At this time, an LDSTech mission requires the ability to speak English. We apologize to anyone that this disqualifies.

==Application process==
If you desire to serve an LDSTech mission with ICS, please contact [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org] to get more information. If you prove to be a good fit for one of these positions, you will then complete the Church-service missionary application process. This process is described on the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries?lang=eng Church-Service Missionaries page on LDS.org]. In summary, the application process is as follows:

# First, you complete the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries/form?lang=eng Recommendation Form for Church-service Missionaries].
# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

{{Note|To submit your Church-service mission application you must both fax it to 801-240-1726 and e-mail the PDF to [mailto:csm-support@ldschurch.org csm-support@ldschurch.org]. Also remember to have your stake president or bishop keep a copy for you.}}

==Backlogs ==

==About LDSTech missions==

If you desire to serve a Church-service mission, you can become a missionary for LDSTech. LDSTech missions are ideal for worthy people who work or have worked in the IT industry. You may be a young or young-at-heart tech expert who is worthy to serve a proselyting mission, but can not. You could also be retired or on a leave of absence and looking for an opportunity to serve a mission. This could be a welcome place to serve.

== Locations==
Candidates for each role can work remotely or on site in the [[Riverton Office Building]], depending on proximity. Senior couple missionaries are especially welcome, even if their technical skills vary. Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months.

==Application process==

If you desire to serve an LDSTech mission with ICS, please contact [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org] to get more information.

==Ongoing needs==

We have an ongoing need for some standard IT skills, such as QA testing, software development, interaction design, project management, technical writing, and report creation. Descriptions of each of these roles are below.

=== Testers ===
Testers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams to test applications for bugs, defects, and other issues. Testers need to be thorough and creative as they check applications against requirements, functionality specifications, prototype designs, and other standards. Testers not only verify that intended steps in procedures work, but also that non-standard ways of using the application don’t break the system or cause errors. More advanced testers investigate the code to troubleshoot the source of issues. Testers may be assigned to multiple projects and lead other volunteers in organizing and coordinating testing efforts within the LDSTech community.

Skills: Familiarity with computers is essential. Programming skills aren’t necessary, but they can facilitate the setup of automated test scripts. Testers will work extensively with [[JIRA]], a bug tracking system that teams use to log bugs, defects, and other issues. Experience with Selenium will also be helpful.

=== Software developers ===
Developers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams in developing software applications for the Church. Applications developed in the LDSTech community span a wide variety of purposes, including welfare, reporting, property management, and other uses. Developers often work in PHP, Java, Objective C, and C# to write code, and then upload this code to a Subversion repository. Project teams usually include a mix of Church employees and volunteers, working in an agile development methodology that involves meeting daily, releasing regularly, and playing flexible roles. Developers may help organize and coordinate development efforts with other developers in the LDSTech community.

Skills: Developers should be familiar with one or more of the following programming languages: PHP, Java, Objective C, and C#. Knowledge of other programming languages may be useful for certain software projects. Familiarity with Javascript, CSS, and HTML is also be helpful.

=== Interaction designers ===
Interaction designers are needed to work with LDSTech project teams to design usable interfaces for software applications. Interaction designers aim to simplify complex processes into intuitive steps, helping users achieve their goals with a minimal number of clicks. They work from requirements documents and stakeholder meetings to create wireframes, and then convert these wireframes to working HTML prototypes. Because interaction designers address the whole user experience, they are familiar with the demographics and characteristics of their users, and they do usability testing to confirm or enhance their designs.

Skills: Interaction designers should be skilled in one or more graphics tools, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks. They should be comfortable working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and using team tools such as JIRA and Subversion.

=== Project managers ===
Project managers are needed to manage software development projects within the LDSTech community. Project managers work with customers to define requirements, establish scope, and plan timelines. They understand the technology well enough to break project tasks down into levels that volunteers can complete in small increments of time. Project managers know the priorities and dependencies of each task as it plays out on the project’s critical path, and they use this knowledge as they distribute work to volunteers, keeping in mind that volunteers have a variety of skill levels, time commitments, and interests. To maintain team enthusiasm for the project, project managers continually motivate and inform team members through communication channels such as Google Groups, IRC, and Skype.

Skills: Previous project management experience is required. Ideally, a retired project manager with experience working in an IT department will be a good fit for this role. Familiarity with JIRA, a tool for tracking bugs and project requirements, and Mediawiki, the platform used for publishing project information, is also helpful.

===EIM report writers===
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Business Intelligence report writers design, create, and support key reports for all employees of the Church. Report writers assess reporting needs of the department through investigation and analysis of non-technical users. They then create reporting solutions using either Business Objects Web Intelligence or Crystal Reports. Report writers forecast, analyze data and trends, and create reports that highlight areas in need of performance improvement. They analyze deficiencies in reporting database and make suggestions as necessary. They identify and resolve application or infrastructure problems and provide performance tuning services when applicable.

Skills: Expertise with SQL and data extraction methodologies, as well as proficiency with Business Objects Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports, is needed. A minimum of two years experience as a Business Analyst or Report Writer/Analyst is required. Applicants must be detail oriented, have expert presentation/interface skills, (demonstrated GUI design), and have the ability to quickly learn new tools and technology, as well as interact well with a team environment. Excellent documentation and communication skills are also required.

=== Other opportunities ===
If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.

==About LDSTech missions==

If you desire to serve a Church-service mission, you can become a missionary for LDSTech. LDSTech missions are ideal for worthy people who work or have worked in the IT industry. You may be a young or young-at-heart tech expert who is worthy to serve a proselyting mission, but can not. You could also be retired or on a leave of absence and looking for an opportunity to serve a mission. This could be a welcome place to serve.

== Locations==
Candidates for each role can work remotely or on site in the [[Riverton Office Building]], depending on proximity. Senior couple missionaries are especially welcome, even if their technical skills vary. Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months.

==Application process==

If you desire to serve an LDSTech mission with ICS, please contact [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org] to get more information. If you prove to be a good fit for one of these positions, you will then complete the Church-service missionary application process. This process is described on the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries?lang=eng Church-Service Missionaries page on LDS.org].

# First, you complete the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries/form?lang=eng Recommendation Form for Church-service Missionaries].
# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

IMPORTANT: To submit your Church-service mission application you must both fax it to 801-240-1726 and e-mail the PDF to [mailto:csm-support@ldschurch.org csm-support@ldschurch.org]. Also remember to have your Stake President or Bishop keep a copy for you.

==Ongoing needs==

We have an ongoing need for some standard IT skills, such as QA testing, software development, interaction design, project management, technical writing, and report creation. Descriptions of each of these roles are below.

=== Testers ===
Testers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams to test applications for bugs, defects, and other issues. Testers need to be thorough and creative as they check applications against requirements, functionality specifications, prototype designs, and other standards. Testers not only verify that intended steps in procedures work, but also that non-standard ways of using the application don’t break the system or cause errors. More advanced testers investigate the code to troubleshoot the source of issues. Testers may be assigned to multiple projects and lead other volunteers in organizing and coordinating testing efforts within the LDSTech community.

Skills: Familiarity with computers is essential. Programming skills aren’t necessary, but they can facilitate the setup of automated test scripts. Testers will work extensively with [[JIRA]], a bug tracking system that teams use to log bugs, defects, and other issues. Experience with Selenium will also be helpful.

=== Software developers ===
Developers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams in developing software applications for the Church. Applications developed in the LDSTech community span a wide variety of purposes, including welfare, reporting, property management, and other uses. Developers often work in PHP, Java, Objective C, and C# to write code, and then upload this code to a Subversion repository. Project teams usually include a mix of Church employees and volunteers, working in an agile development methodology that involves meeting daily, releasing regularly, and playing flexible roles. Developers may help organize and coordinate development efforts with other developers in the LDSTech community.

Skills: Developers should be familiar with one or more of the following programming languages: PHP, Java, Objective C, and C#. Knowledge of other programming languages may be useful for certain software projects. Familiarity with Javascript, CSS, and HTML is also be helpful.

=== Interaction designers ===
Interaction designers are needed to work with LDSTech project teams to design usable interfaces for software applications. Interaction designers aim to simplify complex processes into intuitive steps, helping users achieve their goals with a minimal number of clicks. They work from requirements documents and stakeholder meetings to create wireframes, and then convert these wireframes to working HTML prototypes. Because interaction designers address the whole user experience, they are familiar with the demographics and characteristics of their users, and they do usability testing to confirm or enhance their designs.

Skills: Interaction designers should be skilled in one or more graphics tools, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks. They should be comfortable working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and using team tools such as JIRA and Subversion.

=== Writers ===
Writers are needed to help create content for the LDSTech blog (tech.lds.org). The purpose of the LDSTech blog is to attract IT-savvy members to the LDSTech development community and to provide help information to project teams. LDSTech writers are assertive in contacting subject matter experts and in gathering domain-specific information. They keep attuned to the variety of LDSTech community projects and research project pain points, challenges, trends, and technologies. They organize and develop information into substantial articles that inform, motivate, and pull readers in. They also review and edit submissions from other volunteer writers on the LDSTech Blog project.

Skills: Fluency with the English language is necessary. Experience as a copywriter, technical writer, marketing writer, or blogger is also encouraged. Writers should be comfortable interacting with technical experts through e-mail, phone, and other virtual tools. Familiarity with Joomla, MediaWiki, Microsoft Word, and screen capture tools is also helpful.

=== Project managers ===
Project managers are needed to manage software development projects within the LDSTech community. Project managers work with customers to define requirements, establish scope, and plan timelines. They understand the technology well enough to break project tasks down into levels that volunteers can complete in small increments of time. Project managers know the priorities and dependencies of each task as it plays out on the project’s critical path, and they use this knowledge as they distribute work to volunteers, keeping in mind that volunteers have a variety of skill levels, time commitments, and interests. To maintain team enthusiasm for the project, project managers continually motivate and inform team members through communication channels such as Google Groups, IRC, and Skype.

Skills: Previous project management experience is required. Ideally, a retired project manager with experience working in an IT department will be a good fit for this role. Familiarity with JIRA, a tool for tracking bugs and project requirements, and Mediawiki, the platform used for publishing project information, is also helpful.

===EIM report writers===
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Business Intelligence report writers design, create, and support key reports for all employees of the Church. Report writers assess reporting needs of the department through investigation and analysis of non-technical users. They then create reporting solutions using either Business Objects Web Intelligence or Crystal Reports. Report writers forecast, analyze data and trends, and create reports that highlight areas in need of performance improvement. They analyze deficiencies in reporting database and make suggestions as necessary. They identify and resolve application or infrastructure problems and provide performance tuning services when applicable.

Skills: Expertise with SQL and data extraction methodologies, as well as proficiency with Business Objects Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports, is needed. A minimum of two years experience as a Business Analyst or Report Writer/Analyst is required. Applicants must be detail oriented, have expert presentation/interface skills, (demonstrated GUI design), and have the ability to quickly learn new tools and technology, as well as interact well with a team environment. Excellent documentation and communication skills are also required.

=== Other opportunities ===
If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.

==Questions==

Sierakowski: /* Current LDSTech Missionary needs */

If you desire to serve a Church-service mission, you can become a missionary for LDSTech. LDSTech missions are ideal for people who worked in the IT industry but are now retired, or for young tech experts who can’t serve a proselyting mission.

== Current LDSTech Missionary needs ==

==Application process==

If you desire to serve an LDSTech mission with ICS, please contact [mailto:ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org ldstech-mission@ldschurch.org] to get more information. If you prove to be a good fit for one of these positions, you will then complete the Church-service missionary application process. This process is described on the [http://www.lds.org/service/missionary-service/church-service-missionaries?lang=eng Church-Service Missionaries page on LDS.org].

# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

IMPORTANT: To submit your Church-service mission application you must both fax it to 801-240-1726 and e-mail the PDF to [mailto:csm-support@ldschurch.org csm-support@ldschurch.org]. Also remember to have your Stake President or Bishop keep a copy for you.

==Ongoing needs==

Although the [[#Current needs|Current needs]] section above indicates the skills we're currently looking for, we have an ongoing need for some standard IT skills, such as QA testing, software development, interaction design, project management, technical writing, and report creation. Descriptions of each of these roles are below.

=== Testers ===
Testers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams to test applications for bugs, defects, and other issues. Testers need to be thorough and creative as they check applications against requirements, functionality specifications, prototype designs, and other standards. Testers not only verify that intended steps in procedures work, but also that non-standard ways of using the application don’t break the system or cause errors. More advanced testers investigate the code to troubleshoot the source of issues. Testers may be assigned to multiple projects and lead other volunteers in organizing and coordinating testing efforts within the LDSTech community.

Skills: Familiarity with computers is essential. Programming skills aren’t necessary, but they can facilitate the setup of automated test scripts. Testers will work extensively with JIRA, a bug tracking system that teams use to log bugs, defects, and other issues. Experience with Selenium will also be helpful.

=== Software developers ===
Developers are needed to work with LDSTech community project teams in developing software applications for the Church. Applications developed in the LDSTech community span a wide variety of purposes, including welfare, reporting, property management, and other uses. Developers often work in PHP, Java, Objective C, and C# to write code, and then upload this code to a Subversion repository. Project teams usually include a mix of Church employees and volunteers, working in an agile development methodology that involves meeting daily, releasing regularly, and playing flexible roles. Developers may help organize and coordinate development efforts with other developers in the LDSTech community.

Skills: Developers should be familiar with one or more of the following programming languages: PHP, Java, Objective C, and C#. Knowledge of other programming languages may be useful for certain software projects. Familiarity with Javascript, CSS, and HTML is also be helpful.

=== Interaction designers ===
Interaction designers are needed to work with LDSTech project teams to design usable interfaces for software applications. Interaction designers aim to simplify complex processes into intuitive steps, helping users achieve their goals with a minimal number of clicks. They work from requirements documents and stakeholder meetings to create wireframes, and then convert these wireframes to working HTML prototypes. Because interaction designers address the whole user experience, they are familiar with the demographics and characteristics of their users, and they do usability testing to confirm or enhance their designs.

Skills: Interaction designers should be skilled in one or more graphics tools, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or Fireworks. They should be comfortable working with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and using team tools such as JIRA and Subversion.

=== Writers ===
Writers are needed to help create content for the LDSTech blog (tech.lds.org). The purpose of the LDSTech blog is to attract IT-savvy members to the LDSTech development community and to provide help information to project teams. LDSTech writers are assertive in contacting subject matter experts and in gathering domain-specific information. They keep attuned to the variety of LDSTech community projects and research project pain points, challenges, trends, and technologies. They organize and develop information into substantial articles that inform, motivate, and pull readers in. They also review and edit submissions from other volunteer writers on the LDSTech Blog project.

Skills: Fluency with the English language is necessary. Experience as a copywriter, technical writer, marketing writer, or blogger is also encouraged. Writers should be comfortable interacting with technical experts through e-mail, phone, and other virtual tools. Familiarity with Joomla, Mediawiki, Microsoft Word, and screen capture tools is also helpful.

=== Project managers ===
Project managers are needed to manage software development projects within the LDSTech community. Project managers work with customers to define requirements, establish scope, and plan timelines. They understand the technology well enough to break project tasks down into levels that volunteers can complete in small increments of time. Project managers know the priorities and dependencies of each task as it plays out on the project’s critical path, and they use this knowledge as they distribute work to volunteers, keeping in mind that volunteers have a variety of skill levels, time commitments, and interests. To maintain team enthusiasm for the project, project managers continually motivate and inform team members through communication channels such as Google Groups, IRC, and Skype.

Skills: Previous project management experience is required. Ideally, a retired project manager with experience working in an IT department will be a good fit for this role. Familiarity with JIRA, a tool for tracking bugs and project requirements, and Mediawiki, the platform used for publishing project information, is also helpful.

===EIM Report writers===
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Business Intelligence report writers design, create, and support key reports for all employees of the Church. Report writers assess reporting needs of the department through investigation and analysis of non-technical users. They then create reporting solutions using either Business Objects Web Intelligence or Crystal Reports. Report writers forecast, analyze data and trends, and create reports that highlight areas in need of performance improvement. They analyze deficiencies in reporting database and make suggestions as necessary. They identify and resolve application or infrastructure problems and provide performance tuning services when applicable.

Skills: Expertise with SQL and data extraction methodologies, as well as proficiency with Business Objects Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports, is needed. A minimum of two years experience as a Business Analyst or Report Writer/Analyst is required. Applicants must be detail oriented, have expert presentation/interface skills, (demonstrated GUI design), and have the ability to quickly learn new tools and technology, as well as interact well with a team environment. Excellent documentation and communication skills are also required.

=== Other opportunities ===
If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.

==Questions==

Project managers are needed to manage software development projects within the LDSTech community. Project managers work with customers to define requirements, establish scope, and plan timelines. They understand the technology well enough to break project tasks down into levels that volunteers can complete in small increments of time. Project managers know the priorities and dependencies of each task as it plays out on the project’s critical path, and they use this knowledge as they distribute work to volunteers, keeping in mind that volunteers have a variety of skill levels, time commitments, and interests. To maintain team enthusiasm for the project, project managers continually motivate and inform team members through communication channels such as Google Groups, IRC, and Skype.

Skills: Previous project management experience is required. Ideally, a retired project manager with experience working in an IT department will be a good fit for this role. Familiarity with JIRA, a tool for tracking bugs and project requirements, and Mediawiki, the platform used for publishing project information, is also helpful.

===EIM Report writers===
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Business Intelligence report writers design, create, and support key reports for all employees of the Church. Report writers assess reporting needs of the department through investigation and analysis of non-technical users. They then create reporting solutions using either Business Objects Web Intelligence or Crystal Reports. Report writers forecast, analyze data and trends, and create reports that highlight areas in need of performance improvement. They analyze deficiencies in reporting database and make suggestions as necessary. They identify and resolve application or infrastructure problems and provide performance tuning services when applicable.

Skills: Expertise with SQL and data extraction methodologies, as well as proficiency with Business Objects Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports, is needed. A minimum of two years experience as a Business Analyst or Report Writer/Analyst is required. Applicants must be detail oriented, have expert presentation/interface skills, (demonstrated GUI design), and have the ability to quickly learn new tools and technology, as well as interact well with a team environment. Excellent documentation and communication skills are also required.

=== Other opportunities ===
If you have another IT skill and would still like to serve, there may be opportunities available as well.
