We built the SMS & USSD connectivity for last week's launch in Kenya with Airtel [1] using http://github.com/praekelt/vumi. Happy to answer any questions about this, USSD isn't used as much and as such largely unknown outside of the majority world.

fwiw, it's built on Vumi which is Open Source http://github.com/praekelt/vumi. Feel free to join us in #vumi on Free for any questions.

It does on secondary indexes http://wiki.basho.com/Secondary-Indexes.html

Just to confirm this, at work (http://github.com/praekelt & http://praekeltfoundation.org) this exactly the problem we are up against in Africa.

2 - wasn't intentional, what wordings exude that attitude in your opinion?

not necessarily, but would be nice.

Maybe my bad choice of words. In the "broadest sense" I meant that we're looking for a DB person who's interested in both relational DBs as well as the complete other side of the spectrum.

Still, I think a tongue in cheek infographic could be pretty cool as a job description. True, maybe not so much for databases.

true, blame Python :)

Yeah, truth in that. I'm needing to write a couple more like this, this is the first one. Next one will be an job description for a DB guy with interest in databases in the broadest sense. Not sure how to go about that one yet.

I like the infographic idea, any other suggestions?
