We have a small budget to cover a range of IT maintenance and development tasks. Being heavily dependent on funding from Bradford Council, we have taken a 25% hit to our budget this financial year and of course we can expect year on year further reductions due to the Tories being wedded to austerity and crushing local authorities (especially those in the North). We could do with some help - a mix of voluntary/advisory and ad hoc paid-for - as we try to adapt to these new circumstances. Anyone with Drupal (and CiviCRM) expertise would be particularly welcome as we attempt to cobble together an advisory team.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr">Not the most attractive of 'offers', but I am tasked with reaching out and attempting to come up with some kind of rescue package / sustainable future plan.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr">I'll be on site and could attend part or all of the meeting if you think that is something you might have the stomach for?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr">Cheers</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25963" dir="ltr">Paul</div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25984"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25983"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25982"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_26018"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_25981"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_26021"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_26020">From:</span></b> John Robert Hudson <j.r.hudson@virginmedia.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> BradfordLinuxUserGroup <bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, 7 June 2015, 22:26<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Bradford] Monday's meeting<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433698196994_26016"><br>Hi all<br><br>Are there any offers for tomorrow's meeting?<br><br>John<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Bradford mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk" href="mailto:Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk">Bradford@mailman.lug.org.uk</a><br><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/bradford" target="_blank">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/bradford</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
