There's been lots of talk about offshore development recently.  Larry O'Brien is chatting with John Montgomery about whether he'll still have a job as an independent developer , Rory reports that Dell have moved their call centre back from India.  The pragmatic programmers have released a t-shirt advertising their 'how to keep your job' with the slogan 'My programming job went offshore, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt'.  The current project I'm working on has bought their offshore development team on shore.

On top of all of this I notice today that Chris Stevenson, who's been the source of many good insights into .NET/Java/XP/Agile development at the Extreme Tuesday Club and who is also from my home town of Adelaide, South Australia, is going the other way and is moving to India for 6 months.  Funny old world.  I can't wait to read about Chris' experiences.
