Looking for Volunteers 

I am working with the new team on the DotNetNuke Documents module project to actually create end-user and administrator user guides for that project.  This has lead me to think about the free modules and items that are provided by IowaComputerGurus.  Each of these is lacking documentation, and to be honest I just don't have the time to keep the modules going and to keep the documentation up.

Therefore I thought I would reach out to the community to see if there was anyone willing to donate some time to write documentation for my free modules.  Since these modules generate no money, and actually cost me money, at this time it would need to be a volunteer effort.  However, in exchange for services we will ensure that full credit is given for the creation of the documentation.

If you are at all interested in volunteering to help improve the free modules that we offer, please feel free to e-mail me at msellers@iowacomputergurus.com

Why and How I Partner 

Over the past few weeks since I announced that my company, IowaComputerGurus Inc. was going to be an exhibitor at OpenForce ’08 this November I have been asked a few questions by the community.  I feel that the answers to these questions are items that should be aired publicly; therefore I am posting this information here for all to see.  The two questions that have been coming up quite a bit recently are; Why are you sharing a booth with Seablick Consulting, and How do you choose your business partners.  I will start by addressing the second question, and returning to answer the first.

IowaComputerGurus Inc. Announcement 

I am very proud to announce that this evening my business IowaComputerGurus inc. has achieved the designation of Microsoft Certified Partner.  Although not necessarily a major thing to the regular readers of this blog, this is a very important milestone for myself as I continue to build the business.  The support of past customers providing references has been greatly appreciated, and key to allowing me to reach this milestone.

Review of BaseCamp 

In the past I have completed reviews of various DotNetNuke modules, components, and skins, however, recently I have been receiving a number of e-mails with questions about how I manage my business.  Typically these questions have been from individuals that are just starting out with consulting business, or those looking for better ways to manage their pending products.  Once item that I always recommend to people is BaseCamp, a hosted project management solution provided by 37Signals.  This article will go through the features/services offered, and why I use it to manage all projects.
