[Imc-aotearoa-tech] Volunteer...

[finn c.]

Hi!

Sorry for the slow reply. As you can see, the aimc-tech is in desperate need of 
more energy!

> I'm interested doing some work for the IMC. My main skills are in C++/Java programming, and I'm pretty competent with Linux/Unix as well as some web design and scripting. 

Cool, any programming experience is useful - we are migrating from
Active [active.org.au/doc], which runs on php3, perl, postgres, and mysql [!] to 
a much saner DadaImc [dadaimc.org] which runs on php4 + mysql.  

On my computer I've almost totally run through the migration process,
the only thing I had to try is the features migration. I'd like to set
up a xhtml template as well.

At the mo I'm trying to get rid of a large backlog of work so I can
focus on the migration, so things should pick up dramatically soon [def
by this time next week]. We have a new dev server in Oz too - I think
the plan will be to run through the migration on that, and then tar up
the site and move it to it's [as yet undecided] new home.

> >From reading the list I'd guess you're mainly after net/sys admin stuff, which I'm not so experienced with, but I'd be happy to learn some new skills! I work full time so I'm afraid my contribution would be limited to weekends/evenings! Please get in touch if theres anything you want to ask me...

Any amount contribution is good - even if it's just bouncing ideas back
at us. 

more soon . . .
