hi Anida I think sending an email to itc@ (who are aware of the problem anyway) will not achieve much. I think the way to start a group that takes care of makumba promotion outside BEST and community builing is to make working groups in international BEST meetings, like workshops, PM, GA, etc. i think that's the way to start any taskforce in BEST. people get involved, understand the challenge and they become active. this is more like a PR/promotion task then a technical one. present it to people as such. make sure people see the challenge in it For organizing a working group, you need: 1) to convince Rudi that this is important and then he will convince the board to allocate a working group 2) to prepare the working group topic with the currently interested people (you, Adler, Aurora, etc) 3) to make sure that one of the interested people (preferably the one who worked most in the preparation) attends the meeting and chairs the working group. 4) ask people who are active in the working group whether they want to join the makumba-comm-build mailing list 4) if needed, set up a followup working group in another BEST meeting 5) but most importantly make sure that the makumba-comm-build mailing list is active and people are involved, so works goes on between meetings cristi Anida Omerbegovic wrote: > Hi guys! > > I hope you all are enjoying a sunny and warm summer! > > Regarding Adler's suggestion, I was wondering if there is any volunteer > to prepare a 'www.makumba.org/community-building' page. > > Also, are there any other suggestions/comments?
