Could we help Greece?
Who would be interested in volunteering some of their time to help out with Greek government with whatever IT related work they need at this time of possible change?
2. Even if you were familiar with the software that the many agencies of the Greek government used, how could you possibly know enough about the problem domains (e.g., deducting Greek payroll taxes) to be of any use? And I'm pretty sure their systems are documented in Greek, not English.
3. If you were the Greek government (or any government or company for that matter), would you trust unknown foreigners to work remotely on your critical systems?
1. "Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has told the EU Parliament that very early retirement schemes should be ended" 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_evasion_and_corruption_in_... " Tax evasion has been described by Greek politicians as "a national sport"—with up to €30 billion per year going uncollected."
They may need code, but may need raw materials more, so would probably appreciate something more fungible, let them prioritize.
Or you could save up for a Greek holiday. The thing they really need is tourists (and people buying Greek goods):
