The vast majority of time spent by Directors and volunteers, and almost all of the cash budget for Mac Admins Foundation, will be directed towards maintaining and managing this community for the foreseeable future. The Mac Admins online community is free and openly accessible for community members, and is moderated by a group of 14 administrators. While the majority of the posts and discussions concern direct professional considerations for the members, it is also an avenue for learning, news, friendships, hobbies, resource sharing, games, and other social interactions. In addition to the general discussion feed, there are over 1,000 public channels within the space, which hold breakout conversation space for specific topics and groups, such as specific technical considerations, industrial sectors, geographies and socio-cultural segments. Members use the platform to get support and guidance from peers and experts in the field. It has grown to over 42,000 members, with approximately 5,000 active members in any given week.
