The Indiana Non-Profit Information Technology Organization needs passionate people to grow with us.  Our mission depends on community minded individuals who want to make a meaningful impact through technology and public service.

We are seeking committed volunteers for a variety of roles.  We especially need individuals with a heart for helping their community and a desire to support our mission.  Opportunities include serving on our Board of Directors to guide organizational decision making, assisting with community outreach and promotion, and contributing technical expertise as part of our Information Technology Advisory Board.

Whether you are an IT professional, a community advocate, or someone simply looking to give back, we welcome your involvement.  If you share our passion for technology, education, and public service, we would love to speak with you about how you can help strengthen and advance our community through accomplishing the Inpito's mission.

Please contact us to learn more about available roles and how you can make a difference.

Just as the cobbler's children famously had no shoes, our organization faces a similar challenge: despite our mission to advance innovation, we lack the modern computing power needed to fully pursue our Artificial Intelligence research and development goals.

At present, the most capable systems available to the Indiana Non-Profit Information Technology Organization (INPITO) are two Dell Precision T3600 workstations, personal systems belonging to Jerry B Nettrouer II.  The Dell Precision T3600 workstations were manufactured in 2013 and upgraded to their maximum specifications.  However, these machines are now over a decade old.  While those two computers have allowed us to prototype entry-level, text-based AI modules, they simply cannot support the high-performance computing required for more advanced AI architectures, large-scale data processing, or modern machine-learning frameworks.

Even with these aging systems, we continue to design and test unique research projects, such as our BRAG (Bash Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline project.  However, to meaningfully advance our work and to serve the greater community through stronger, more capable AI tools, we urgently need access to contemporary, high-powered computing resources.

Our goal is to acquire a workstation class system built on a platform such as the Asus WS C621E SAGE motherboard, fully equipped with modern multi-core processors and with the addition of high-performance GPUs.  A system of this caliber would enable us to run state of the art AI models, conduct accelerated research, and dramatically expand what our nonprofit can accomplish for public benefit.

Support in acquiring such hardware would have an immediate and transformative impact on our mission.
