There is now a SMM Attendee Travel Forum Electronic Message Board for
the 17th Biennial SMM meeting in Cape Town, on Google groups.
http://groups.google.com/group/attendee-travel-forum-smm-2007-bienneal?hl=en
This Message Board has been established so that _*any*_ attendee to the
17th Biennial SMM meeting in Cape Town can communicate with others
regarding travel to, or in, South Africa and Capetown, about other
arrangements (such as room shares, or sharing in or joining for
sightseeing activities, excursions, car hires), or conference
arrangements (such as selling/buying banquet tickets, etc.) Please make
sure that all postings relate to the logistics of attending and
participating in the 2007 Cape Town Biennial.
Currently, the settings of this Message Board allow the content to be
viewed by anyone (although the page cannot be searched for on Google),
but only members can make postings. To join this group, click on "join
this group" in the navigation bar to the left. You will then be asked
to create a Google account. If you currently use gmail, you already
have a Google account. If you do not use gmail, you can create a Google
account using /any/ email address that you would like. You will then be
asked how you would like to subscribe to the Message Board (e.g., email,
digest, online). Note that you can change your subscription option at
any time. Once you are a member, you can make a posting; however,
postings from new members will be moderated (i.e., the message will have
to be approved by me before posting).
I believe that this approach offers some protection from misuse to the
Message Board, while allowing it to be somewhat self-sufficient. If I
detect signs of misuse or people joining/posting that should not, then I
will necessarily need to make the Board more secure.
Feel free to contact me <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at any
time with questions, concerns, or ideas about this Message Board. Happy
planning!
