[8:17:31 PM] Lara says: yes please

[8:17:32 PM] Megan says: s

[8:17:47 PM] Megan says: I think in terms of structure of the workshop (which we can get into later)

[8:17:50 PM] Lara says: the 19th is better for me but i can do the 22nd as well

[8:17:56 PM] Lara says: err 21st

[8:18:19 PM] Megan says: we should give 45 minutes to take them through and then 45 minutes for q&a

[8:18:33 PM] Megan says: 19th is fine by me…jon are you okay with that on your birthday…be honest

[8:18:36 PM] Lara says: yes that’s perfect

[8:19:03 PM] jonacron says: be honest, honest

[8:19:12 PM] Megan says: okay….i will work on a workshop agenda after we present on Sunday

[8:20:46 PM] jonacron says: eh, its no big deal. im likely to be in the area doing my thing, i might as well come for you both

[8:20:48 PM] Megan says: no pressure if you don’t want to, but it might be the best part of the course, actually getting to see how the work has paid off and is having practical application

[8:21:00 PM] jonacron says: i understand. youre right.

[8:21:05 PM] Megan says: plus they seem like interesting people

[8:21:09 PM] Megan says: have we convince you

[8:21:13 PM] Megan says: and I will bring snacks

[8:21:13 PM] jonacron says: you have

[8:21:44 PM] Megan says: I will send a note

[8:21:46 PM] Megan says: to all

[8:21:49 PM] Megan says: if there is an issues

[8:21:51 PM] Megan says: too bad

[8:21:51 PM] Lara says: ok I’ll add it to the blog

[8:21:53 PM] Megan says: just kidding

[8:22:08 PM] Megan says: I don’t anticipate an issue

[8:22:12 PM] Megan says: I will let jason know

[8:22:22 PM] Megan says: and estimate based off the number of project managers etc

[8:22:31 PM] Lara says: we need to have a seperate planning meeting for this as well

[8:22:38 PM] Megan says: i was just typing that

[8:22:58 PM] Megan says: I plan on working on the agenda before I leave for mexico (july 29th)

[8:23:07 PM] Megan says: we can go over it maybe the week of the 11th?

[8:23:12 PM] Megan says: August 11th that is

[8:23:20 PM] Megan says: via skype or in person…either way

[8:23:26 PM] Lara says: Sure.  I can meet the 12th, better in person.

[8:23:29 PM] Lara says: well

[8:23:40 PM] Lara says: we can do either.  we just need something to work off of.

[8:23:40 PM] Megan says: in the agenda …I will assign us to workshop sections

[8:23:53 PM] Lara says: that would be great

[8:24:00 PM] Megan says: okay, so the 12th….what time

[8:24:24 PM] Lara says: well if we skype it lets do 8p again

[8:24:29 PM] Megan says: sounds good

[8:24:46 PM] Megan says: so on to Sunday?

[8:24:50 PM] Lara says: yep

[8:25:06 PM] jonacron says: (yes, still here)

[8:25:14 PM] Lara says: I sent you all the rough power point

[8:25:18 PM] Megan says: I can look at the powerpoint this evening and get comments back to you tonight

[8:25:25 PM] Megan says: i think at first glance it looks good

[8:25:27 PM] Lara says: thats great

[8:25:28 PM] Megan says: 15 minutes is tight

[8:25:32 PM] Megan says: to present

[8:25:40 PM] Lara says: its basically copied from the original plan with updates

[8:25:57 PM] jonacron says: ah i see what the confusion was with me, Lara . i skimmed it in html, so i didnt understand what you meant by “end”

[8:25:59 PM] Lara says: yes we don’t have to talk on everything, just the top lines

[8:26:10 PM] Megan says: I like the question you posed

[8:26:16 PM] Megan says: you chose

[8:26:21 PM] Megan says: what do you mean by top lines

[8:26:23 PM] Lara says: it seemed to fit the best

[8:26:28 PM] Megan says: yes

[8:26:30 PM] Lara says: like we dont have to read this

[8:26:32 PM] Megan says: it does

[8:26:36 PM] Lara says: we can just talk in an overview

[8:26:36 PM] Megan says: true

[8:26:43 PM] Lara says: this can be a leave behind

[8:26:54 PM] Lara says: it is more important to show the images

[8:26:54 PM] Megan says: how do you want to structure the presentation in terms of leading the conversation etc

[8:27:09 PM] Megan says: got it

[8:27:10 PM] Lara says: I think we need 1 person to talk about the plan

[8:27:16 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:27:19 PM] Lara says: then we need 1 person to talk about the action

[8:27:23 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:27:26 PM] Lara says: then we need 1 person to talk about future

[8:27:32 PM] Megan says: can i do the future

[8:27:32 PM] Lara says: thats 5 min each

[8:27:37 PM] Lara says: i can do the plan

[8:27:42 PM] Megan says: jon….

[8:27:49 PM] jonacron says: haha yes ill do the action

[8:27:53 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:28:03 PM] Lara says: cool

[8:28:13 PM] Lara says: so lets start an email chain of bullet talking points

[8:28:21 PM] Megan says: ok

[8:28:29 PM] Lara says: and then we should be set for Sunday

[8:28:42 PM] Megan says: i think you should introduce the group and explain how we are going to present 5 5 5

[8:28:55 PM] Lara says: sure that’s easy

[8:29:21 PM] Megan says: maybe in the project plan explain that logi behind short and long term

[8:29:27 PM] Megan says: the logic

[8:29:42 PM] Lara says: of course

[8:29:56 PM] Lara says: ill most likely use the report and then just shorten the languge

[8:29:58 PM] Lara says: language

[8:30:01 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:30:36 PM] jonacron says: specifically now, how would you like to incorporate images

[8:30:39 PM] Lara says: so i think that’s all, the report is technically due the 1st but we can hand it in early

[8:30:52 PM] Lara says: 1 per page

[8:30:54 PM] Lara says: BIG

[8:30:59 PM] Megan says: and pretty

[8:31:12 PM] jonacron says: would you like to use the captions frank supplied

[8:31:17 PM] Lara says: and make sure you cover the networking

[8:31:24 PM] Lara says: sure!

[8:31:34 PM] Lara says: have fun with it

[8:31:43 PM] Megan says: what do you mean by cover the networking?

[8:31:56 PM] Lara says: well show what its linked up to

[8:32:01 PM] Megan says: ahhh

[8:32:04 PM] Megan says: so screen shots

[8:32:07 PM] jonacron says: yes

[8:32:10 PM] Megan says: ahh

[8:32:11 PM] Lara says: yes

[8:32:18 PM] Megan says: i am a little braindead right now…

[8:32:29 PM] jonacron says: can i talk for a moment about facebook networking issues

[8:32:34 PM] Lara says: yes please

[8:32:34 PM] Megan says: sure

[8:33:00 PM] jonacron says: i went through the list (on the globlhood acocunt) of facebook groups we would want to add into, be associated with…

[8:33:10 PM] Megan says: ok

[8:33:20 PM] jonacron says: the problem i am having is that it is only associated with the frank account, and not the globalhood group

[8:33:22 PM] Lara says: yes

[8:33:39 PM] Lara says: huh?

[8:33:50 PM] Megan says: what do you mean by “it”

[8:34:00 PM] jonacron says: well i thought the idea was that we all become working friends of each other, all of the groups, one big network

[8:34:17 PM] Lara says: i get it, he means he can’t link to anything in the non-profit page, just the globalhood account we opened under franks name

[8:34:24 PM] Megan says: got it

[8:34:24 PM] jonacron says: so i would add, say, ashoka, and it would show up on the frank cohn page, but not the globalhood page

[8:34:31 PM] Megan says: ah

[8:35:09 PM] jonacron says: ive got the flickr feed on the globalhood page though, if its a consolation at all!

[8:35:34 PM] Megan says: so, maybe the solution is to have all project managers open facebook accounts (if they don’t already) and have them join the networks etc. ……so applications work on the non-proift page?…..we can provide the list of potential groups during the workshop

[8:35:55 PM] Lara says: yes maybe

[8:35:58 PM] Lara says: hmm

[8:36:25 PM] jonacron says: its the right idea, the best way is to have people all adding the groups so that, ideally, globalhood would show up under the “similar groups” tab of other non-profit groups

[8:36:37 PM] Lara says: i wish i could see what you are talking about

[8:36:40 PM] Megan says: that is what i was getting at….

[8:36:47 PM] Megan says: are you unable to get on facebook

[8:36:55 PM] Megan says: i can do a screen shot

[8:36:56 PM] jonacron says: if we can get the numbers up, facebook will automatically recommend the group to more and more people

[8:37:00 PM] Megan says: got it

[8:37:08 PM] Lara says: ahh

[8:37:12 PM] Lara says: ok i became a fan

[8:37:14 PM] Megan says: so we can’t add to the similar groups ourselves

[8:37:20 PM] Megan says: on the non profit pate

[8:37:22 PM] Megan says: page

[8:37:26 PM] Megan says: i wondered about that

[8:37:41 PM] jonacron says: yes, thats what i mean. a group page cant have “friends” like a normal page might

[8:37:52 PM] Lara says: thats kinda dumb

[8:38:12 PM] jonacron says: well, wait until you see the new facebook layouts, if you think THATS dumb…

[8:38:14 PM] Megan says: okay, so I networking becomes a task for project managers….it will be a good excersise in the workwhip

[8:38:23 PM] Megan says: workshop

[8:38:26 PM] jonacron says: thats a good idea

[8:38:37 PM] Megan says: was that freudian?!

[8:39:06 PM] jonacron says: haha if it was, write me up, i liked it!

[8:39:10 PM] Lara says: its ok, we understand, it has been a long day

[8:39:30 PM] Megan says: oh my god Lara , i just logged on to facebook and saw the dexter widget…I LOVVVEEE that show and cannot wait

[8:39:44 PM] Lara says: yes its pretty rockin

[8:39:53 PM] Lara says: thats the new shepard ferry desing

[8:39:59 PM] Lara says: design

[8:40:09 PM] Megan says: ah

[8:40:46 PM] Lara says: ok so any other issues?

[8:40:53 PM] Lara says: we should all look at the pages together

[8:40:56 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:41:10 PM] Lara says: although my internet froze so i might take a minute

[8:41:14 PM] Megan says: no worries

[8:41:21 PM] jonacron says: the last issue is the globalhood phone numbers so we can wrap up that youtube application

[8:41:28 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:41:32 PM] Lara says: yes i left my cards at home

[8:41:38 PM] Lara says: do you have yours megan?

[8:41:38 PM] Megan says: who do you need

[8:41:47 PM] jonacron says: but i think thats it for me. i have my list here

[8:41:49 PM] Lara says: globalhood main #

[8:41:58 PM] Megan says: let me check…hold on

[8:42:13 PM] jonacron says: oh and i have to flog blog.

[8:42:24 PM] Lara says: great, lets add that to the list

[8:42:30 PM] jonacron says: ah. yes, theres one more. big one

[8:42:34 PM] jonacron says: causes application

[8:42:53 PM] Lara says: ok

[8:43:30 PM] Megan says: I don’t have the number…thought it was in my purse

[8:43:55 PM] Megan says: so will they qualify for the you tube non-profit channel

[8:44:34 PM] jonacron says: pretty certain. the phone numbers and such are just for data fields. all fields need to be filled in, and i jut figured i had the info, but i dont

[8:45:05 PM] Lara says: ok well ill send it to you worst case tomorrow

[8:45:12 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:45:20 PM] Megan says: so what about causes…any issues

[8:45:27 PM] Megan says: flog blog is quick

[8:46:25 PM] jonacron says: causes is easy as well. i just wanted to come to an agreement on what the text in our cause header should be

[8:46:35 PM] Megan says: ah

[8:46:36 PM] Lara says: what do you have so far?

[8:46:38 PM] jonacron says: we need a brief mission statement

[8:46:39 PM] Megan says: what are theoptions

[8:46:41 PM] Megan says: okay

[8:46:46 PM] jonacron says: 3-5 positions

[8:46:57 PM] Megan says: so causes is for globalhood and global potential?

[8:47:00 PM] jonacron says: and a description will be easy

[8:47:18 PM] Lara says: i think just globalhood

[8:47:31 PM] Lara says: because global potential was part of our alumni only

[8:47:32 PM] Lara says: plan

[8:47:38 PM] Megan says: I think it needs to be more of a call to action like “Drop The Plastic Bag”

[8:47:47 PM] Megan says: and then it is assigned to globalhood

[8:47:52 PM] Megan says: so maybe something like

[8:48:29 PM] Megan says: Help create sustainable projects

[8:48:32 PM] Lara says: bringing together people and knowledge from across disciplines

[8:48:33 PM] Megan says: for globalhood

[8:48:39 PM] Lara says: that’s from their home page

[8:49:03 PM] jonacron says: Help bring together an interdisciplinary cause

[8:49:09 PM] Megan says: too long

[8:49:11 PM] Megan says: sorry

[8:49:30 PM] Lara says: A Cause for knowledge

[8:49:35 PM] Megan says: too nebulous

[8:49:47 PM] jonacron says: Unite people and knowledge

[8:49:57 PM] jonacron says: /knowledge and people

[8:50:05 PM] Lara says: development across disciplines

[8:50:13 PM] Lara says: thats their tagline

[8:50:16 PM] Lara says: you should use that

[8:50:23 PM] Megan says: needs an action in it

[8:50:25 PM] Megan says: maybe

[8:50:30 PM] Megan says: Create development across dis

[8:50:33 PM] jonacron says: create

[8:50:34 PM] jonacron says: nice

[8:50:39 PM] jonacron says: good idea megan!

[8:50:48 PM] Megan says: took it from their language…..

[8:50:52 PM] Megan says: but thanks!

[8:50:58 PM] Lara says: that’s good and then they can’t be mad that we changed too much

[8:50:58 PM] jonacron says: took it FROM MY BRAIN

[8:51:03 PM] Megan says: yep

[8:51:06 PM] Megan says: ha

[8:51:10 PM] Lara says: ok

[8:51:11 PM] Megan says: okay so global potential

[8:51:17 PM] Lara says: jon did you add the myspace link up?

[8:51:25 PM] Lara says: the dogooder link up?

[8:51:39 PM] jonacron says: no, but i will right now at this precise second

[8:51:53 PM] Lara says: ok good, we need to have everything there for your glamour shots

[8:52:16 PM] Lara says: and also try to add everything from the list you sent out

[8:52:20 PM] Lara says: the excel chart

[8:53:19 PM] Megan says: these are great

[8:53:30 PM] Lara says: yes it looks like they really got into it

[8:53:48 PM] Lara says: oh we need mogulus too

[8:53:54 PM] Lara says: does that integrate into FB?

[8:54:12 PM] Megan says: they have a group but no application yet…there is a call for it though so probably soon

[8:54:21 PM] Lara says: megan, did we ever get any info from the SL people?

[8:54:26 PM] Megan says: none

[8:54:35 PM] Lara says: ok so that’s for future

[8:56:51 PM] Lara says: this will also be perfect for future state

[8:57:33 PM] jonacron says: huh. how interesting

[8:58:00 PM] jonacron says: sprout

[8:58:14 PM] Lara says: yes its pretty cool.

[8:58:22 PM] Megan says: i like it

[8:58:50 PM] jonacron says: sprout seems like it would integrate all of the non-facebook globalhood profiles into a single widget

[8:59:01 PM] Lara says: do it!

[8:59:03 PM] jonacron says: judging by one of the screenshots

[8:59:03 PM] Lara says: do it!

One of the key points discovered by the researchers is  that “true communication technology becomes the interpersonal interaction between individuals; the hardware of that interaction simply serves to mediate that connection.  This important point often gets lost in the glow of new technologies”.  

In relation to Facbeook and Globalhood/Global Potential, this point cannot be lost.  First and foremost the youth and their experiences of building work plans and working in the bateys are central to the efficacy of building meaningful connectivity online via social networking sites.  

There is great potential for the youth activists to  build a Global Potential alumni network, one grounded in the offline shared experience of activism and action,  on Facebook that will help”connect one another online and in person,…[fostering] a feeling of ‘strength in numbers’ a common space in which to [feel] comfortable and supported in their activist work”.

Another key point in the study that warrants attention is the recognition that online connectivity for youth often helps connect the “personal to the political” via peer-driven messages grounded in experience versus traditional, or “adult” mediums of social action.  

As we continue to look at ways to advise Global Potential, we should provide information on Global Youth Connect (where subjects were drawn from for this study) as a potential model and resource on ways in which the youth can document activist experience via various art forms.
