I agree with you, Wayne, just didn't know we had such application. Cheers,

Hi Patricia, Great to see international community collaboration in moving this idea forward. I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to host the poll on WikiEducator. For two reasons: * We remain true to our community values associated with the free cultural works definition and commitment to using free software. (The trouble with a Facebook poll is that the data will default to all rights reserved and will not be openly licensed and Facebook is non-free software.) * Hosting the poll on WikiEducator will ensure that we can keep an accurate history of this important process. We have a poll widget on WikiEducator (see for example the current poll on design decisions for the OERu). Thanks for your initiative in setting up a poll -- but at the same time, lets consider walking the talk in terms of our open values for community initiatives ;-) Cheers Wayne On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Patricia Schlicht <[email protected]> wrote: Dear All, I loved the exchanges and the community participation in trying to find a suitable name for the new WE activities of establishing a "'WikiEducator Community College". I thought perhaps we could make a bit easier to vote on the many suggestions made, and so I have created a poll, using a FB application. I hope I have captured all suggested ideas for the naming convention. Please cast your vote by clicking on the link below. You will be asked to log into your Facebook account after your clicked on the link, which will take you to the Poll Application. Click on "Go to App" and you can cast your vote. To give people a chance to do so, they will need a bit of time, so how about we say cast your vote by the end of Sunday, May 6, 2012? Is this acceptable to you all?
