Help Push? Anyone?
Posted by bopuc at February 5, 2006 06:57 PM
I'm thinking I'm going to set up a resources matchmaking service on a subdomain of helppush.org. I keep getting emails like this one from friend Jon Lebkowsky:
My WorldChanging colleague Emily Gertz has just set up a blog for her OneAtlantic nonprofit - and she's looking for a designer to help out. Is this something you might be interested in?
These types of requests usually come with a disclaimer of the sort: "there's probably not that much money involved", which was never really an issue for me; I'd just pick up and try to do what I could. But right now, I am overcommitted. So much so that I can't even, at the moment anyways, set up and manage a sub-contracting situation.
So this post has two goals:
1- Somebody please get in touch with us if you are interested in helping out OneAtlantic. It looks to be a fairly simple MT templating job. (The more familiar you are with MT, the quicker you can do the work, the more you maximize your return...)
2- I want to start building a network of quality subcontractors to do these kinds of jobs. We do not do commercial, corporate work of any sort. Non-profit, NGO, civil society, education.. that sort of stuff. The money's better than you think* AND you are not propagating evil, consumerism, greed.
Get in touch.
* Ok not always, but the karma usually makes up for it. ;)

Awesome, dude. You don't know how happy I am to see you pushing (pun intended) this finally.
As you know, I've always got your back!
:D

yeah boris if anything comes thru the pipeline looking for "a guy who spends a lot of time surfing the net, and writing stuff that 5 people read, but doesn't really know how to do anything technical," I'm all over it. in spades. ;)
