Feb Meeting of the WebTec
Feb 24 2:00 Present: Jenny Margaret and Linnea 1) Leadership page has blank boxes... we need to have them filled with either text or videos Margaret sent emails today; will add content when received. Feb 15 --(no progress.. the question is should I remove the boxes or keep trying) 2) Margaret is going to check with Holly and Joe, on the new members and interface with the website. New members need to be added to the wiki and also to the membership. ( Feb 15 I think this has been taken care of) 3) Everyone is going to test the scholarship page and then Margaret will give access to the people who will be reviewing. (It appears to be working but no applications have been received) 4) Jenny is going align the menu with group and arna connect (This was done and Jenny reports that there has been some activity in the groups) 5) Rich is going to check on the connections between the conference website and Youtube and see if twitter has an option. (The link back from the conference page is not there--MMR will send a message) 6) Someone needs to check on proceedings and make sure it has a way back. (This has been done) 7) Margaret will experiment with the site look and see what others think. ( I experimented with colors, but Lonnie and Joe did not like the change in colors (orange and blue) so I changed it back). 8) Rich is going to work on the video from the last conference (In process) Discussion: Groups-- not working reason is likely to be that it is not a grassroots effort. It is more something that the leadership is trying to create. Needs energy from the participants. Is a Website a good way to support a group? Maybe facebook groups are better. Maybe we need a listsr rather than a facebook or website. Hard to know what would help people to organize. We need to hear from members. New website -- What platforms are going to be around? Why choose one over the other? Who has a good idea as to which would be better? We should be looking and be ready to make a new proposal. Maybe we can work on a new site slowly over time and then be ready with a new version some time after the conference. Do we need it to be a wiki? In reality only the leaders change the site but that access is important. We might be able to have multiple ownership of a new site. We discussed plans to submit a PechaKucha Session... with a focus on: How Technology Serves ARNA Community Development Large questions about the role of technology in the Margaret --5 mins - development of an organization Jenny -- 5 minutes-- from the perspective of small groups Linnea -- 5 mins-- from the perspective of the individual member Then the rest of the session will be to elicit ideas for how we move into the next stage of technology development |

October 2015
I could not find the notes from the meeting....I think that only one person attended and we talked without recording minutes. The task has been to move all ARNA documents into our public spaces so that if any person should be missing, we would not lose assets. We are continuing in this process. Rich could not attend but he did send this report which indicates the work that he has contributed to this group effort: Here is a list of items that I am working on. 1) Checking on any further duplicated/missing files and cleaning them up (though I know you have already done an excellent job of this) 2) Download MASTER files from website to a folder for backup 3) Ensure all photos and videos that I have are uploaded to the [email protected] account. Video may have to go into a Dropbox because of size. 4) Create a word document that contains all links to videos live on our YouTube Channel so people have access quickly. 5) Edit Toronto Overview video 6) Update Facebook folders for photos 7) Update 2013 Conference web page to reflect newer look; link to old page as legacy |
September Web Tec Meeting
Web Tec Meeting AGENDA September 23, 2022 Holly, Jamie, Margaret, Jennifer, Rich in attendance AGENDA ASSET COLLECTION. We have begun the process of getting the web assets (videos, images, files) into one place--ARNA Public Masters. Currently there are three folders here. One for videos, one for web-linked or attached files, and one for us to keep files and list the locations of assets in other places. SPACE AND REVISIONS Site storage 84% of 100 MB used. We should be able to move back to 40%. We need to keep the size of the main website lean. Two ways to do this.
Margaret created folders to represent the menu items and demonstrated the process of copying files and graphics to the google drive. She also showed how to move files that we think are no longer current in a folder called marked for deletion. We need tol go through every page this way until we know that all graphics are in this folder. This makes it possible to reconstruct any page. Different people agreed to go through this process for different pages. Rich will do this for the conference tabs Holly will look through membership Jennifer is looking through groups Margaret will do about this website and history and other pages
2) remove the long history of revision. There is no easy way to do this. Once we have all of the assets in one place, we willl take the pages with the most revisions and copy them getting rid of the revisions giving us more space. The home page is the hardest as the system does not want you change/rename or copy the home page. However we start on other pages and see how this affects the size limits. PHOTO COLLECTIONS Our collection of Conference Photos are stored in the ARNA CONNECT Google+ Account We will also store photos in a file in the ARNA CONNECT google+ account Sign in as ARNA CONNECT (the password was set by Jamie and is known by the people on the web- dev team. NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION FOR THE WEB TEC Team Margaret agreed to create a sheet listing the access permissions that have to be given to new members of the Web Tec Community, as well as an introduction letter. REVIEW OF THE WEBSITE Everyone agrees to review the website making sure that everything has been changed for the new year. Jennifer took on the task of writing to leaders to get graphics and videos for all of the people on the leadership team. HELP FILES- Margaret will work on these once other tasks are done. PROGRESS ON PROCEEDINGS
CONFERENCE 2015
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS
Holly is going to write to John and ask for regular updates about the conference planning that can be twitted to followers. These can be little news items like setting up hotels or find speakers or creating a plan for some part of the conference.
And another way of doing this is to share news from our networking partners. Margaret shared the listing of other networks and Jamie and Holly might reach out to people either on our executive community or at these networks to keep news coming out on a regular bases. We also talked about featuring images from the image collection on facebook from time to time. |

April Meeting Web-Tec Group
Web Tec Develop Group Meeting Wednesday April 29, 2015, 2:00-3: 25 Hangout link... https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/gwlnykbr2hgdm6ty2vs4b6ndwua Present: Margaret Riel, Rich Mcpherson, Jenny Robins, Linnea Rademaker, and Miguel Angel Lopez First Issue is how to present the Delphi Study contents on the website. We discussed location and settled on Knowledge Mobilization. We considered the following possibilities tab names and settled on What is action research? Action Resarch approaches Margaret is going to post and the group approved the general sense of content and links. Membership -Linnea Payments through the Moravian which says who is paying for what. She logs that process. We need to have a better more automatic system. She can email to a list of people who are members, or conference people or both without causing two emails to the same person. She sends out a certicate to members, and gives them to link to post themselves online as a member. Removing people from list. Taking off the people who are not members? Removing of the founding members that did not renew. We need to send a message to tell them that if they do not renew by the end of the conference, that we will be removing them from the listing with great sadness. Conference - Rich -- conference pages are coming. We have an app for the conference which he has listed on announcements. he is receiving video clips and putting them together. Groups and the Website Jenny -- email to the committe chairs and told them that the page has moved. This give them more control over the site. She is putting togehter the contact information. She will not be at the conference but we need to make sure that we share her image and offer her support at the groups meeting session. We also talked about connections to our social media and it is growing -- we might need to add a member to be a facebook person or Jenny might just continue to do both groups and facebook. |
