[[TranslatedPages]] [[PageOutline]] == How To == This space is dedicating to documenting How To's about Free and Open technology. It can be related to aspects that relate directly software you can install on MFPL servers with your membership, as well as, software you can use on your computer. This space is also for documenting How To's for managing servers and supporting members requests. === Get Help === MayFirst is a largely volunteer-run group. As such, getting help should be seen from the perspective of mutual aid as much as possible. Offer what you can, ask for what you need. More can be found in the [https://mayfirst.coop/en/membership-agreement/ Membership Agreement]. The first step in getting help is to search this wiki. It has a lot of helpful information and hopefully there is already a page answering your question. :fingers crossed: If you can't find what you're looking for in the wiki, you can create a support "ticket". A ticket is a request for help from the MayFirst technical team. To do this, click the "New Ticket" link towards the top of the page. === Software === The information shared here is just a beginning to what Free and Open technology available for use.
