We have now employed our first oursourced resource and so far things are great. We have code coming in to our SVN server each day and we can see the project developing.

We got an extremely good developer from Russia who speaks great english. We found him through ODesk.

Odesk is very impressive, its a great platform. On signing up someone to do a project you get access to SVN and Bugzilla through their system. It also provides monitor of work done and hours put in by your resource.

We will continue to update how we get on and will give more details on what we are getting built soon enough.
