Community and Not for Profit support links
You have put in a server, don't have access
to support and have a question.
You need a server but do not know where to
start.
You have a huge community project and need
some support.
You just need to talk to someone about IT.
You came into work and the server is not
working, who do you call?
Sound familiar?
The Not for profit sector of companies in
Australia is the poorest in funds and the least understood of any
organizations. They have no access to expensive engineers or the right
software or hardware to do the job.
You can get access to Microsoft
and other products from
http://www.donortec.com and look around
http://www.techsoup.org/ for advice
but what can you do to solve your issues and get some help?
You need to find a community minded person
with the right skills and resources.
One such community is the Microsoft MVP online community. Whilst some
current and alumni MVP's
live in newsgroups giving out free advice, others like myself like to get
their hands dirty. I
have assisted in network installs from places far flung across the globe. I
have given advice in the early hours of the morning, at the moments of
crises, and had email reply chains going for days, aiding the repair
of servers. I have remoted into servers and fixed
issues or used the Microsoft support system to escalate issues reducing
monitory penalty to the end user.
I have helped with Scouts, Churches,
Disability centers and Indigenous affairs.
If you have a project or need, and feel I can
help, let me know. By remote access and email I can help anywhere.
Physically I am limited to South Australia. Having said this, I have
contacts throughout Australia and the world.
Whilst I can be time poor (When I am on
various projects) it never hurts to ask. I always love to hear form you and
if I can't help, I should be able to pass along a contact who can.
Feel free to email Community@mickyj.com for answers to your questions.
