Revision as of 13:43, 6 March 2009
, 13:43, 6 March 2009→Discussion of our mission
* We discussed broadening our channels of communication to include social networking sites, including Facebook, linkedin, Classroom2.0, ning, etc. and tools other than IRC, such as VOIP (SKYPE). We need volunteers to oversee those efforts. (If we build it and they come, we need to make sure that there is a community connection.)

* A concrete suggestion was made to set up tagged email threads for each Sugar Activity, perhaps by language as well, but fed back into IAEP (or perhaps Sur), e.g., Subject: [LABYRINTH]...Subject: [BROWSE]... Subject: [TORTUGA ART]... We are looking for someone familiar with Mailman to help set this up efficiently.

* We discussed some needs, such as preparing introductory Sugar materials for workshops as short as 2-4 hours or as long as a week.
