We all know someone who has been affected by this economic downturn. The sad news is that it going to get a lot worse before it starts getting better. The good news it that a layoff can act as an intervention, prying us off an unfulfilling path and allowing time to take a new direction. Some knowledge workers are using this time off to launch innovative online ventures.
Pastor Henderson is using her layoff from Corporate America to take the time to build her church community, and she needs help. She’s been faced with many choices and pricing models for web hosting services and she doesn’t know which way to turn. Should she use Drupal as a web content management solution or something else?
Drupal is giving rise to a new category of Website Managers, some of whose tasks cross into what are today engineering and design tasks. These managers will be deeply involved in marketing and user-centric activities, in the nuts and bolts of how a site interacts with its visitors.
You probably know something that can help Pastor Henderson build her church's website. Here’s your chance to help someone who has been laid off recently to follow thorough on her passion for helping others.
