Colorful Expressions is looking for a desktop support/sysadmin 
contractor in Southern California for at least 20 hours/week. Most of 
the job will supporting a single client that has a main office in the 
Los Angeles, and branch offices in Orange County and San Diego which 
would require occasional visits. The ability to speak Spanish would be a 
huge plus. Experience with labor, community organizing, and/or social 
justice organizations would be great, too!

The desktops are (currently) all Windows; servers are a mix of Windows 
and Linux. Linux experience would help with the desktops, too, though, 
as use Knoppix and other Live CD tools to support the Windows machines.  
Additionally, we may migrate at least some of the desktops from 
Windows/Microsoft Office to Linux/Open Office.

The following are some of the things we use (expertise in all is not 
required):

Windows: Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP/2003, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, 
Outlook, and Access), Mozilla FireFox and Thunderbird, Symantec 
AntiVirus, Symantec Ghost, Veritas BackupExec, Terminal Services, DHCP, 
DNS, AD

Linux: Samba, Asterisk, Apache, Knoppix, parted, partimage, OpenOffice, 
ssh, terminal server clients

Other: Netscreen, Sonicwall

The pay rate will be $25-$35/hour, depending on experience. U.S. 
citizenship or permanent residency is required. Most work will be done 
on-site, so must have transportation to be able to visit all offices. 
There will also be some remote work available.

This position is expected to be relatively junior (with the intent to 
grow with the company), and will be supported by senior admins in 
Northern California.
