DATE 2005-01-18
FROM From: "Martin, Jared"
SUBJECT RE: [hangout] Staff Development and Organizational Capacity

I'd like to introduce myself, I hope this is the appropriate way to do so. My name is Jared Martin I've visited a few times the last few weeks on Sunday nights. I'm a windows tech that would rather be a Linux tech. I know the basics of Linux, teaching myself C, but I've still have a lot to learn.

I've been asked to install a small server in a cell phone/graphic design store with 5 workstations. They are asking for exchange functionality. I'd like to set them up with Linux, but since it would be my first time, I'd like it if someone could give me a hand. I'd go for the experience while the person who helps could either take the money or donate it to NYLXS. I'm sure this is trivial for many of you, but perhaps the money is needed/wanted, and I'm sure the experience I would get would be invaluable to me and would put me in a better position to support NYLXS in the future.

Also, would this be a poor place to ask questions about C programming?

Thanks for your consideration...

Sincerely,

We need new people who believe in our mission. Until we get past that,
we have considerable problems.
