Helping With IT

Just like any other organization, the mission here has technology needs. They have about 1.5 full time Information Technology staff, but I've been able to help them out a little.

Some of the biggest issues I see are bandwidth and Internet reliability (there's one fibre line for the whole peninsula), access to specific replacement parts (although some are available in Encinada and people are often coming from the US and Canada), and of course finances.

Other than that, though, it seems just like any other IT department. They manage servers and infrastructure, set up and fix machines, and provide user training. It seems again like the world is a small place and people have basically the same needs wherever you go.
