Humanity+ Conference May 14-15 2011

[Natasha Vita-More]

Hi everyone,

 

Now that we have the H+TSN Guide almost complete, let's discuss promoting our upcoming conference within the Humanity+ Student Network.  What are your ideas?

We could make a group like this the "H+SN Projects" group and invite
all the people who contacted me about Friday's Humanity+ Newsletter,
but now we have a different name than TSN...

Do we want to create a new group or just stick with this one for now?

Do we want to invite everyone who contacts us to the projects group?

To answer one of my questions, I think we should establish a list for
volunteer work projects and announcements only - not general
discussion.

If we use the tsnhplus list it is readily available but we might lose
a lot of members if we ever decided to change the name by creating a
new list. Can we change the name without creating a new list (I don't
think that is allowed)?

Dear new contacts,

Please see the messages below. We hope to establish a volunteer
projects and announcements list soon.

Forgot you in this thread, Heather.

Welcome to the group, Imamu. See the thread below for our discussion.

* Curt or Josh, would you please create a new H+SN google group we can
have all the new H+SN participants join for announcements and (until
there is a better approach) coordinate supra-campus projects?

Thanks,
Ben
