Apparently a heated discussion erupted on the MKE listserv yesterday about BFW communication. I didn't read it all because the subject line was about the Santa Rampage (which isn't even technically a BFW event, though BFW staff typically participate). Anyway...I thought people might want to see this response by a BFW staff member.
In the middle of the discussion someone suggested a blog to post information and events...which I will again say that BFW already has, but doesn't use anymore, at http://www.bicyclefederationwisconsin.blogspot.com/ -Dar Shea Schachameyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Shea Schachameyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 11:24:33 -0600 Subject: [milbtw] Communication Hello everyone! Wow, what a hot topic communication turned into on the listserve yesterday! Id like to take a stab at the topic from the BFW perspective. First off all of the staff is acutely aware that our means to communicate arent sufficient right now. To our members we are able to send quarterly newsletters and monthly e-blasts, but we dont have a good way to disseminate information to our non-members and rely heavily upon various non-BFW listserves such as this one to try to get the word out about not only bfw but all area biking events. Truth be told, there is a lot going on relevant to bicycles and it makes it hard to post everything we hear about. With that said we would like to figure out a better way to easily communicate to more people but need help figuring out the means to do this. If you are a tech-savvy person or just spend a lot of time on the web and have ideas of what we can do to make communication better, please help us out! I will be out of town at a conference through next Wednesday, but after that I would love to hear from people about their ideas. If there is interest and people are available Id love to set a time for us to get together and brainstorm options. So if youve got the time to help us out or have suggestions, please contact me! In the meantime, Milwaukee Bike Winter events are posted in the following two places: www.bikewinter.org and www.myspace.com/mkebikewinter We will continue posting events we hear about to the listserve a couple weeks in advance of events as well. Something else exciting that you all can look forward to seeing sometime this winter is a new logo for the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin! Thats right, were in the process of having our logo redesigned! Once we have that done we will begin work on redesigning our website too! So be patient, were aware of these faults and are trying to address them.
