A reminder that there will be an important HelpNet meeting Tuesday, Nov. 19
from Noon - 1:30 PM, at the Peace and Justice Center of Eastern Maine, 170
Park St., Bangor. This is an opportunity to help determine the future
direction of HelpNet.
While there are many interesting and exciting possibilities, I think we
need to take a hard look at those things we actually have the interest and
energy to make happen. The questions I'd like to bring to the meeting are:
(1) Using Paul Schroeder's termininology, Helpnet to date has been
(at least on some level) a "learning environment/conversation space"
devoted to helping eastern Maine community organizations use computer
technology. The focus to date has been on fairly specific computer
questions. Looking forward, what sort of conversation space(s) do we
want? Are there ways we can make the space "safer" for people to ask
questions and share information?
(2) Do we want to broaden our scope - either to include more sorts
of questions, or a bigger geographical area.? Are there other groups we
should involve or combine with - the Community Media Center group that the
Peace and Justice Center has convened, Bairnet, coastal community resource
centers, Maine Freedom of Information Coalition, etc?
(23) Are there specific activities/services that would be
valuable? If so, what are we willing/able to do to make them happen? For
example, I am happy to continue to administer this listserv, and to post
items, at least on an irregular basis.
I hope to see many of you on Tuesday -- Bring your thinking caps.
