Many years ago YWAMConnect.com was presented as a solution for YWAMers looking at setting up a personal ministry web-site. I played briefly with the service because it was being promoted by many YWAM leaders out of the YWAM Kona locaion, but I was very under-whelmed and stopped looking at it after about a week.

Many YWAM staff and ministries however moved over to the service as their primary web-site.

I recently set-up a Google+ Community for YWAM. If you haven't already joined I would recommend it...

Last year we did a lot of testing with webinar and other solutions. This year we are hoping to start using Google Hangouts to connect with leaders and other YWAMers to talk about different topics and teachings. The best way to find out about those upcoming events will be through the Google+ group.

I would like to build a computer case. But also I'd like to make sure this machine is making too much noise or vibrating its little heart out, either. Has anyone here ever built their own case for a computer? Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do it and could help out with some ideas?
Let me give you a little background to my question.
I am part of a small, pioneering team, soon to set sail (or set road...) to our new location. As such we wont have huge computer needs, as in email server, web server, terminal server, server for this, server for that, etc etc... Still we'll need some hard-drive space to store and share some data, some pictures, and have a place to backup our computers.
The other thing to consider, of course, is office space. As a small team we wont have a full blown office set-up with different rooms including a closet where we could put a noisy computer. Our first office might as well be our living room, or a large enough room in the house, at least for a little while.
And this is where a storage and/or backup server might need to sit and do its duty, as well. Now comes the fun part, which seems to be a little more tricky then I first thought it would be...

For the last few weeks we have been looking into different services for webinars, with the idea of using them to connect our YWAM leaders and teachers with a wide on-line audience. Our trial with AnyMeeting was quite disappointing and most other services out there are paid, or no longer active.
