Hopefully my epitaph will be funnier than my custom title.
We worked with a team of Serbian developers but we integrated them into the regular IT teams. So the team would partially be local, partially offshore. This is still not ideal because all your team communication now needs to go through Skype and whatnot, but it was okay. In the end we stopped doing it because it's nigh-on impossible to do things like mentor junior developers if they're remote. Additionally, there is a lot of informal discussion between developers and business people that they would miss out on.

Still, we went to Serbia for a week every year and for someone who only knew Serbia as "weren't they the bad guys in that war", they're wonderful people who have excellent food and craft beers. Visiting the Exit Festival wasn't too shabby either :)
