Hi All,<br><br>I've used GoogleApps to setup an intranet site for my last organization and I do agree with some of <br>the comments below, it is quite useful. It satisfies most of the things that I listed on my last post and I <br>
do prefer it over Yahoo Groups (since I am pretty happy with gmail so far). Thanks Naz for your inputs and <br>I cast my vote for that plan of action. <br><br>In would be awesome if we could get someone to do the <a href="http://olpc.ph">olpc.ph</a> site. Just glossed over the Nepal <br>
site that Naz mentioned and I like it. The site is uncluttered and focused on the content rather than fluffy graphics. <br>The organization itself seemed to have a wider focus than what we want to achieve, but that topic can be <br>
discussd in the meeting. If we focus on just getting the main objective of the umbrella OLPC organization, <br>can we possibly share some of its contents (logo, etc.) and maybe tweek them a bit to "Filipinize" it?<br>
Marketing-wise and time-wise this might be a better move since we are still pretty much unknown so <br>having an already identifiable logo links us to the main organization for now until we can get more <br>press time and spin off our own logo. But I digress, let's focus on forming the organization first. Sorry. <br>
BTW,let me know if PhilWeavers won't be able to do it...I'd like to take a crack at doing the site. No charge <br>folks...hehehe. <br><br>Peace out!<br>---Cherry <br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 8:51 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org">olpc-philippines-request@lists.laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I guess we have to start with this topic before we could even begin to<br>
organize. Since I won't be<br>
available for the meeting I'd like to put in my input now.<br>
<br>
I am a fan of Google, but I would caution us from adopting yet again another<br>
form of communication.<br>
As it is, we have the following lines of communication:<br>
1) OLPC-Philippines Mailing List & Wiki Site<br>
2) Facebook Site<br>
3) OLPC-Philippines Multiply site<br>
4) #olpcph channel for chat<br>
5) Chief Mike's Blog<br>
6) We'll likely to have our own PR site: <a href="http://www.olpc.ph" target="_blank">www.olpc.ph</a><br>
<br>
Here's another thing to consider: Should we have a separate line of<br>
communication from the developer's group? We don't want to be inundated<br>
with e-mails about recent builds,etc. as their efforts ramp up.<br>
<br>
We can look at pros and cons for each site. We're likely to keep 3 or 4 of<br>
the above, but it would be nice to narrow this down to 2 (we can have a link<br>
to the Pilot school progress via Chief Mike's Blog). But just to brainstorm<br>
what we need for choosing a candidate program for our organization,given<br>
that we're a global one:<br>
<br>
1) We need a program with a discussion board that's visible to everyone, and<br>
a way for members to elect whether they'd want a per post update or<br>
just as we log-in update.<br>
2) A way to poll our members say come election time or just to vote on<br>
issues.<br>
3) A way to archive meeting minutes.<br>
4) A way to see which members are available to chat and be able to chat on<br>
the fly without having to go to a separate site.<br>
5) A calendar<br>
6) A file depository so members can pull documents, etc.<br>
<br>
If that's Google Groups so be it. Sandeep, you're more familiar with<br>
facebook... are there separate applications that we can<br>
get from facebook to satisfy most of the above? This would be ideal since<br>
there are already 220 members in there and it would be<br>
a pain to get people to move.<br>
<br>
Just my two cents. I'll poke around each of the programs above and other<br>
programs (Google Group. Yahoo Group, etc. ) and will try to come up with a<br>
pros and cons list before the meeting.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Cherry<br>

Another thing to consider is that <a href="mailto:olpc-philippines@lists.laptop.org">olpc-philippines@lists.laptop.org</a> is<br>
publicly archived on the web and if there are sensitive internal<br>
matters that must be discussed online, anything said in here will turn<br>
up on Google searches. So I think there's a need for a private list.<br>
<br>
1) We can go mailman on <a href="http://www.olpc.ph" target="_blank">www.olpc.ph</a>, the same mailing list manager<br>
we're using right now in this list.<br>
2) We can go Google Groups (Ryan just set up one)<br>
3) We can go Yahoo Groups which is what most Filipinos use; most of us<br>
have Yahoo accounts because a lot of us were early social netwrok<br>
adopters and users of E-groups before it was bought by Yahoo and<br>
rebranded as Yahoo groups.<br>
<br>
The social network pages like for Facebook and Multiply should just be<br>
to augment advocacy and create awareness. <a href="http://www.olpc.ph" target="_blank">http://www.olpc.ph</a> should<br>
really be the centralized rallying point for the group, kinda like<br>
<a href="http://www.olenepal.org/" target="_blank">http://www.olenepal.org/</a> for Nepal.<br>
<br>
I'm going to see if anyone at Philweavers, the oldest Web Designer org<br>
here in the Philippines, wants to volunteer for chipping for the<br>
development of the OLPC.ph website. The XO-1 unit I brought during the<br>
Philweavers December Christmas party created quite a buzz, and a lot<br>
of photo ops and picture taking with it happened ;)<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

I think we can do everything in with regards to collaboration using an<br>
external service like Google Apps which I've pointed the <a href="http://olpc.ph" target="_blank">olpc.ph</a> email<br>
at the moment. It already has the collaboration tools needed - not as<br>
complex as groupware but still functional. I think this is useful for<br>
a small group to collaborate and focus on certain topics without<br>
creeping to the other stuff.<br>
<br>
Then we can just use this mailing list for announce and other tech<br>
stuff along with the wiki page which is pretty much the olpc wiki in<br>
general. The rest are just for creating social awareness and does not<br>
need to be the main focus.<br>
<br>
I am more inclined to use it with Google Apps/Groups rather than Yahoo<br>
groups only because I don't want to have multiple login accounts for<br>
the same kind of work/information that I expect to do/receive.<br>

Coolness.<br>
<br>
I already sent a shout-out to Philweavers for web developer/designer<br>
volunteers and help out with the <a href="http://olpc.ph" target="_blank">olpc.ph</a> site. We really need a<br>
central repository for coordinating all activities and <a href="http://olpc.ph" target="_blank">olpc.ph</a> gives<br>
the best branding/recall.<br>
<br>
Google apps sounds good given the the toolset. Given our limited<br>
resources, let's not reinvent the wheel wherever it's not necessary.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

Hi Ryan,<br>
<br>
I don't have any issue with starting the Google group. What's more important<br>
is having a unified means of communicating to a team (ie developers) or to<br>
the larger audience. Best to discuss during the Jan 31 meeting.<br>
<br>
Safe travels.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sandeep<br>
