<p>I would love to understand how you solve things like confidential info access with volunteers in one of your followups.</p>Travis Phipps commented on 'Revamping IT Volunteerism At GCC Part I - The Big Picture'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345325d569e20133f4b72ac0970b2010-09-29T21:00:29Z2010-09-29T21:00:29ZTravis PhippsThe first paragraph of your 'big picture' is awesome!

I think every church IT group should try to adopt that mentality and make sure their leadership is aware of their heart and desire to serve.</p>Jason Powell commented on 'Revamping IT Volunteerism At GCC Part I - The Big Picture'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345325d569e20133f4b3f302970b2010-09-29T14:38:13Z2010-10-19T09:27:07ZJason Powellhttp://profile.typepad.com/fizzxScott - We originally used all Dell switches, but had a few issues.

In our experience HP makes a better switch, better warranty, and better management options. YMMV :)</p>
<p>Stuart - When I was the lone IT guy at GCC I was utilizing LOTS of volunteers ... which lead to hiring one of them down the road. Invest NOW in getting volunteers involved vs later. Investment is TOTALLY worth your while.</p>Stuart commented on 'Revamping IT Volunteerism At GCC Part I - The Big Picture'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345325d569e2013487d361e7970c2010-09-29T14:23:28Z2010-09-29T14:23:28ZStuarthttp://churchtechy.comI love this Jason and thanks for posting.

Seeing that you are mostly a Dell shop (and your Apple users, of course) why are you not using Dell switches? Are there some features you like about HP better?

<p>Is it a weekly regular weekly type of need or an on call situation?</p>
<p>What about people new to the church? Is there a minimum requirement for time of attendance?</p>
<p>Just what quickly came to mind.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
