Ways to volunteer online

[Andy Carvin]

Just wanted to start a thread to discuss ways to volunteer online. Please add your thoughts here. Let me know if you want to be an admin for this site as well, especially if you have skills in setting up aggregators/mashups. thanks...

I'll post the MEMA video conferences as we get them, I'll be uploading to YouTube in case our internal systems go down. I'd volunteer to help admin, but I'm still in and out of the NICU with Lex.

[Unklar Klaar (aka Mark Dunk)]

I'll be happy to provide updates and general info. Plus, I'll watch carefully so I can learn about aggregators and mashups. Thanks.

Would be great if someone could set up a wiki at http://gustav08.pbwiki.com (if it's available) so we can use that site to collate static info, pull together emergency info #s, other sources, etc, and figure out how to utilize them. Could someone get that going?

thanks

what's the invite key?

[Andy Carvin]

Wiki is now open, no invite key needed:

http://gustav08.pbwiki.com/

let's use the wiki to pull together lists of info and other static information, then the ning group can be used for more dynamic, public facing stuff, if that makes sense. Feel free to dive into the wiki and get started!

[Tim Street]

We are going to need people with social media experience in nearby areas to get information (video/audio/text) in and out via this site, twitter, craigslist and other sites.

Let your followers know that there is a #Gustav NING site set up http://gustav08.ning.com

[Joseph Wilburn]

Not able to edit Wiki...cannot even comment. Says don't have permission..

not sure what the problem is; doesn't seem to have a setting to make it open. do I need to delete and start over?
