<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A friend of mine let me know about this job opportunity <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">based in Tbilisi, Georgia: Open Maps Caucasus is looking for a new executive director. It sounds like a really cool
job (there's a lot of momentum behind OSM in the Caucasus) and Tbilisi is a wonderful and very livable place to be. If you know of anyone in the OSM who's looking for a management or development job related to OSM, they might want to check this out. I see
that the due date is past, but I only just got this, so I would still apply if interested.</span></div>
