Anyone is welcome to join.

I'll forward the request.

 We should post a link to the spreadsheet in the plone-user list, because I

 What would be cool (in my opinion) is a separate broadcast page as part

 Still wondering who has access to edit that area


 I don't have it. But if someone give me permission I could do it tomorrow.


 I just gave you mgr access to the WPD section on plone.org, so you should
 be able to make the broadcast page.  I'm wondering if it makes sense to use
 a Google Calendar (with support for time zones) and then embed the schedule
 on the Plone page.

2008-11-05 Thread Gerry Kirk
Guys, great to hear what you are doing. I'd like to keep interest in WPD by
posting more what is going on in various places, especially live streams
that others can tap into.

I encourage you to post info to Plone Planet, or at least to the mailing
list I just set up for all WPD local organizers, so you can share tips, help
each other out. If anyone else wants to be on that list, just go to
http://groups.google.com/group/worldploneday. It's a restricted list.

I'll be sending out a few emails to that list later today hopefully about
promotion and such.

Keep up the great work!

 Hi Dylan, Tim, and all,

 WPD 2008 Tokyo is one of the great result of collaboration.

 It was lucky that Dylan has participated to our monthly Plone Seminar
 meeting
 and discussed on the topic of WPD planning.
 - More focus on beginners
 - Broadcasting via ustream.tv
 - Have Sprinting activities simultaneously.

 These three ideas were proposed, discussed at that time and actually
 implemented in WPD Tokyo.
 Thanks Dylan.  :)   I may introduce this short story in the opening of the
 event.

 Another good news is that, recently, one guy is participating to Plone
 Seminar, a monthly community meeting actively.
 He came to the meeting with wearing Plone T-shirt which was given away by
 Tim when Tim has made a presentation in Tokyo.
 Tim, Remember?  You made one more Plone freak in fact.

 Thanks.

 Hi all,

 Just a note that Plone Asia-Pacific is up-and-running and waiting for
 members! Thanks to Alex, Xavier, Dylan, Virginia and co (sorry if I
 missed you out) we've now got a home[1] on plone.org and a mailing
 list[2] for all you Plonistas in Asia-Pacific land.

 Following in the success of Plone ConoSur[3] we've created a focal

 point

 for those in the Asia-Pacific region to convene, share ideas, and
 hopefully create a regional hub to promote Plone in an area that

 really

 needs help. After all Europe and the Americas is going strong and it
 would be good to get some concentrated efforts in AP so that our

 clients

 (and potential ones) as well as new recruits can feel comfortable that
 Plone is a project that is well supported locally.

 So please join up to the mailing list, contribute some content to our
 plone.org page and lets grow Plone in AP! (Also, please pass this

 email

 along to any Plone-related lists/contacts who could be interested in
 helping out the effort.)

 Thanks,
 Tim

[Evangelism] WPD online promo update

2008-11-05 Thread Gerry Kirk
A few updates,

   - worldploneday.org is live, points to http://plone.org/events/wpd
   - I created a dashboard to see all the wpd activity -
   http://www.pageflakes.com/ploniverse/25222553 - not much activity yet
   - I plan to submit something to slashdot.org and digg.com right after
   midnight on WPD (Esther Schindler's suggestion). We'll need people to vote
   it up.

There are other things I hoped to do, but with some help. Here is my current
todo list http://www.rememberthemilk.com/home/gerrykirk/5488416/. Can you
help?

Nate, did you contact Chris Brogan?

Roberto or whoever has access to wpd page on plone.org, it would be nice to
add more content there, like a link to the ustream and the dashboard. Can
you collaborate quickly or give me access?

Thanks,
Gerry

  - Broadcasting via ustream.tv

 I set up a World Plone Day uStream channel at
 http://www.ustream.tv/channel/world-plone-day
 and it looks like I can add up to 6 partner shows that will appear
 to the right of the main World Plone Day broadcast. You can see that
 I've added the World Plone Day Tokyo as a partner show.


 This is the url of our channel (São Paulo Brazil):

 http://www.ustream.tv/mybroadcasts/info/sao-paulo-world-plone-day-2008

 We will broadcast our event from 11:00 - 20:00 (GMT)


 uStream also has the possibility of inviting co-hosts, so we could
 have a master broadcast that is showing broadcasts of various cities
 around the world. These appear in smaller windows within the larger
 window.


 Great feature. Nate, are you planning to coordinate this?


 If you are hosting a WPD in your city, can you please sign up on
 uStream.tv (it's free) and make a show called Your City name - World
 Plone Day 2008 (for example, Boston - World Plone Day 2008).


 +1 (Done already)

 http://www.ustream.tv/mybroadcasts/info/sao-paulo-world-plone-day-2008


 If you have a projector and large screen at your WPD location, you can
 broadcast video of World Plone Day taking place all around the world,
 and we can even talk to each other. I think this would be an amazing
 way to show the global reach of Plone and build a sense of community
 that spans across timezones, geographical and cultural boundaries.


 A common schedule (a google calendar?) would be a good way to coordinate
 this.

 regards,
 ea

[Evangelism] WPD twitter account created

2008-11-02 Thread Gerry Kirk
I've started following a bunch of people who follow @plone, please help
spread the word.

I asked earlier, is there a contact list for all the people who are
organizing events? I'd like to be able to converse with them also.

What do you think about getting people to post to the @worldploneday Twitter
account? I found an email-to-Twitter feature. I could turn this on for one
person at each event.

Hi Roberto,

I can help with this. I will:

   1. write a blog post which will appear on Planet Plone outlining a list
   of ways people can help spread the word.
  1. post to FB profile
  2. post link on Twitter
  3. write on blog
  4. Delicious
  5. etc
  2. follow my own advice in 1)
   3. I can post to Digg, have never posted to Slashdot

Does Plone have a fan page in Facebook? I can't seem to figure out how to
search for one.

Nate, don't you have a list of media contacts? Does anyone have connections
with prominent bloggers? Maybe we can try blogs like TechCrunch.

Does anyone have a detailed listing of all the things we should do?
