Having brought up “communications suck" yesterday, I spent some time looking around trying to put my finger on how exactly I think things could be better. All of the pieces are present (LOPSA staff blog, LOPSAgram, mailing list, governance wiki) but things simply don’t seem to be well-oiled and systematic used.
There should be a high fidelity “voice” of LOPSA. “Here’s a statement from the board…” “The latest minutes are now available on the goverance wiki…” “Here’s this month’s LOPSAgram…” “The FooBazzle committee is seeking a voluteer…” Each message would be drafted, approved by the appropriate person(s), and then published. The message then goes automatically to all mediums. So it appears as a post somewhere with an RSS/Atom feed, goes to Twitter, App.net, the Facebook Group, the mailing list, Google+, etc. So all communications would be available in whatever mode people prefer (email, rss, Facebook, etc) while *reducing* the amount of effort the LOPSA board/staff/volunteers have to do. …where, by “reducing effort” I of course mean: Aggregated, streamlined and off-loaded on one more more new volunteers. --Craig Constantine, http://constantine.name
