This is tricky - obviously, we don't have the man power to provide
them support and service. Even if we eventually might have that kind
of strength, we can't promise we will be available anytime they need
support, since people might have their day time jobs.

What we can do is tell them about alternatives, and why Free Software
is relevant to NGOs, and of course the history and philosophy of the
movement. We can possibly conduct intro sessions and demos. And help 
them with the learning. At the best, we can pass on our enthusiasm for
Free Software :) But being on call in volunteer work is going to be
hard for most people, I think.
