Participants List ?

List of Participants for the StoryField Conf blogs?
Lisa Longworth was invited to attend and has posted in the blogs, so I
assume she is registered, yet her name is not in the List. Nor do I
think she is on the listserv. I wonder how many others have registered
and are not yet in the List of Participants?
I continue to have problems posting from the listserv archive, but I can
post simply from my email.

There are a few ways this can work:
--> If you're just "somebody with an email address,"
you can send any e-mail to:
storyfield...@googlegroups.com,
...and you'll be added immediately.
Your first mail to the group will be moderated.
--> If you are a" manager," you can force subscribe people.
Your **comcast** address presently has "manager" access.
(Your other two email addresses, gmail & aol, are presently
not in the system.)

By the "List of Participants," I assume you are referring to:
http://storyfieldconference.com/participants.html
I don't know who takes care of that.
"Why is she not in the listserv?" Because we don't yet know if she'd
like to be in the mailing list or not, yet.

Yes, because only your comcast address is signed up to the list.
To post from the archives, you need to first sign in to the archives.
(That's so that it can know who is posting.)

functions, and people can show up in one without showing up in
another.
There are steps to a person registering. They first fill out a
registration form (telling us categories they belong in so we can
sense how our recruitment is doing in different categories). At this
point our registrar Cheryl invites them to join the blog and send us
a 150 word bio and to pay their conference fee (usually $400) if they
haven't already done so.
WITHIN 2-3 DAYS (usually) OF THEM SENDING THEIR BIO, I post their bio
on the list of participants. Until they send their bio, they don't
show up on that list.
WITHIN 2-3 DAYS (usually) OF THEM RESPONDING TO THE BLOG INVITATION,
I tell the blogs to authorize them to post on it. Until they respond
to the blog invitation, they don't show up in blog posts. To add to
the confusion, someone who hasn't been approved as a blog post-er can
post a COMMENT on the blog (as contrasted with an original blog
post), but their first comment must be OK'd by an administrator (in
this case me). So someone can show up on the blog as a commenter
without showing up as a post-er!!
Occasionally Cheryl or I will nudge non-responders (to either the bio
request or the blog invitation) to respond. BUT NOTICE: someone can
respond to either, both or none of these requests, and thus show up
in different parts of the Story Field Conference online presence,
quite independently of the others.
We have not yet set up a "line" through which someone joins the
listserv. At the point we/you do, it will become another independent
function like the blog and the participants list: People may or may
not sign up for it, independently of whether they sign up for the
other things.
Probably a week before the conference, I'll just post people's names
on the participants list without a bio, if they haven't sent one, so
at least we have a complete list then. When I first set up the
Participants page (because people were getting confused by Attendr,
which was our first attempt at a self-generated participants list), I
spent hours pulling together bios of people from Google searches I
did, which I don't have time to keep doing. I don't post people's
names now, unless they give me a bio, because I imagine it creates an
incentive for them to send me a bio.

Welcome!
Nice to meet you!
Feel free to introduce yourself, if you like, or lurk if you prefer.
Incidentally, if you know of some people who'd be interested in the
list,
please feel free to recommend it to them, and tell them how to
subscribe
and so on.
We're in the middle of drafting a formal invitation, I'm sure you
can see,
(input appreciated if you have any,) but don't let that stop you
from telling
people about this list and so on.
Again, nice to meet you!
Take care,
Lion

register and paid for the conference. I am posting on the both the
blog sites. What I haven't be able to do is be listed as a
participant. With my photo and bio, etc. If you go to my website,
under the calendar tab, at the end is my upcoming trip to India in
January. If you scroll down the presenters to the end red tab that
says "next page" you'll find my photo (head bowed in prayer with my
art in the background), click on that and my bio will be there. I am
happy to send it directly if you can give me a way to do that.
On another note, I have called and emailed about any shuttles
available from the Denver airport to Shambhala. To make room
reservations, I called Shambhala yesterday, and they said they
couldn't make reservation because I wasn't in the computer as a
participant-that as far as they were concerned, they didn't show me on
their list as registered for the conference. I need to buy airline
tickets (San Diego to Denver ASAP to get the best rates-3 weeks prior)
so time is running out in that regard.
Thanks- phone 858-259-7772 www.lisalongworth.com
My commitment is to contribute a maximum amount of energy to this
conference. I have a newsletter that goes out to 700 people which I
can announce the conference. However, I need to confirm my room, air,
shuttle, etc.--first, of course.
Best,
Lisa

I wonder if there is a way to put all of the instructions in one
place. I am trying to participate and am totally confused. I also have
registered but don't remember a place where I am supposed to put a bio
or who to send it to. I did a do a bio for Wordpress but me guess is
this is different. I also did a post which hasn't shown up.
I believe there are no accidents in the world. I'm curious about what
if any learning there is in all of this for all of us?
Blessings,
George

but I think I can tell you who to send a bio to:
Cheryl aka "storyfi...@comcast.net".
http://storyfieldconversations.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/hello-from-the-new-registrar/
The bio for her would, indeed, be different than a bio for WordPress.
As for keeping this "all in one place" --
What would you think, if there were a website where
we accumulated the answers to these different questions?
Do you think that would work?
(What do you think might work?)

Again, I have no authority to speak for Tom,
but I can speak to my own learning here; ...
I'm learning about just how complex the things are, that I take
for granted, and I'm learning about how people see the online
world, who are not online regulars / "digital natives."
So I'm learning about how to be a bridge to the online world,
for offliners. Please excuse me, because I'm going to make
a ton of mistakes!

Registrar, Cheryl, who sends them to me and I post them on the Story
Field Conference Participants page.
I don't have a record of you posting anything yet on the blogs. As
far as I can see, you only answered the invitation to WordPress
within the last day or two, and I had just authorized you to post to
our blogs a few hours before I saw this message below. So thanks for
your patience. Try again to post; it should work now. Note that the
email WordPress has for you is geo...@entrevis.com.
My learning: We are at a rough stage of evolution, where the
technosphere is not simple enough for the least of us, and many of us
have insufficient time or attention to stretch ourselves to learn
what we need to know to participate. There is ongoing tension
between the stress of participating and the possibilities that await
us by participating and the frustration of not being able to
participate. I'm not sure how unavoidable these stresses are in many
circumstances. I'm sure I could make things simpler and easier for
all if I spent all my time doing that, but I am a novice, too, and
have many other things I must do. We are part of a larger organism
becoming more complexly organized, and the road is bumpy. Best of
luck to all of us, and blessings on the Journey! :)
And see you soon in person, as complex organisms fully evolved to
interact that way. And even THAT will not always be smooth!!!
Coheartedly,
Tom

> place.
I've put what I've learned so far from this exchange up at:
http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/StoryField/WhyAmINotOnTheList
My idea is that I/we can assemble a list of problems people
are having, and how to resolve them, and so on.
