I'm happy to do what I can, obvs, since I quietly butted in without asking anyone's leave but Jesse. We'd just gotten a few memory overages, and I didn't want us to go down while we had extra traffic, so we've, at least temporarily, bumped our allowances, which costs more, but it's still way cheaper than what we were paying.
I didn't want to worry everyone in the moment, and I'm glad we are talking about it. So yes, at the moment, I have keys, and can give out appropriate access, I believe. However, we should probably set up a few protocols, since basically up till now it was basically in ita and scola's hands. If we're going to have more people in the mix, which is good, we should do it properly.
My skill set is decades out of date, but I'd been wanting to get back up to speed anyway.
I am happy to step back, it just worried me to have only her name on there.
And then I had a big meltdown because I didn't want to need to work on the backend, because ita should be there to cover it. Err, so to speak.
But it's ok. We're community, and we can do this together and uphold her legacy.
No expertise, but I'm happy to throw some money in to keep the lights on.
I could throw a few dollars too, and can offer to be madly supportive of the tech types.
My super power is _never_ losing when it comes to consumer struggles. Not that the community is in any way lacking in badasery...I just have a more flexible schedule.
Whatever I can, I will do.
Do we need money? Do we need money now? Or will we need money more, later? Or more money later? I have a little right now if we need it. Say the word.
We don't need money now. Of course, if anyone wants to send it now, I will hold it until we do need it, but we don't need it now.
I am not a professional coder but have the skills to do all manner of troubleshooting and have solely maintained large online communities in the past. I am happy to be on a second string tech volunteer list of techies if need arises.
Should I start making a list of people who have volunteered?
Yes, Sophia. A list is a good idea.
Is there a stompy available who can change my board name? I want to be Nanita here. We aren't google-able, right?
I keep getting VERY thrown by people saying "java" for Java Cat, because I've been called "java" since 1992. So I may as well just change it altogether.
I DID IT. MY FIRST EVER THING. and now I must go cry.
