 Another part of the work I do as MFPLSB has been to handle some of the more intense problems we've faced with denial of service attacks and server outages.  While this remains a skill I have not mastered, in the last couple of months I have had occasion to learn and tackle some very harrowing outage issues.  At this point, I view part of my contributions to MF/PL as another support member capable of handling most crisis situations fairly competently as I have had at least two full nights of "training" (by fire) on dealing with outages.

+A final component of the work I do involves the occupy movement.  As an active participant on the tech team of Occupy Boston and slightly involved in Occupydev and Occupytechnology as well as Occupy the Farm, I have done quite a bit of outreach for MF/PL.  In addition to helping numerous Occupation locations with their web infrastructure, I worked to get Occupy Boston GA to officially distance itself from using Google Groups and gmail, shifting instead to the MF/PL and the free tools we deploy.  This has also spawned quite a few new memberships outside of the Occupy Dedicated Server infrastructure, i.e. dues paying members.  
+
+This outreach/activism has also created the condition of possibility for understanding some of our own techno-structural problems with user interface and helped me grapple with some parts of our infrastructure that needs overhaul.
