This item would normally have been sent to the SchoolForge UK discussion list, but I'm not sure it's running yet... I've submitted the membership request, so we need the logo placing on the page - anyone can be a member of schoolforge-discuss, although I and other UK members already try and repost anything of interest. Posting school open source news should be something everybody considers. I'll post the item about SchoolForge UK. Cheers Chris PS v0.3 of the helpdesk is already out... http://helpdesk.centralmanclc.com -----Original Message----- From: David Bucknell To: schoolforge-discuss@schoolforge.net Sent: 4/12/03 1:37 AM Subject: Re: [school-discuss] Schoolforge UK Re joining Schoolforge, please start by filling out the form at http://seuldat.seul.org/cgi-bin/mementer0.pl. The typical e-mail sent in response says: 1. Please copy the logo of your choice from http://schoolforge.net/logos to your site, place it prominently and link it to http://schoolforge.net/. 2. Join Schoolforge-discuss (which you already have). 3. Participate (which you already do). I would like to add a 4th: Post news of your plans as well as your accomplishments on http://news.schoolforge.net -- Most of our work is eternally "in-progress" so it might seem like nothing is happening, but I think it would be fair to treat work-in-progress as news in many cases, so please (all schoolforgers) post / send news. Meanwhile, I am trying to bridge the language and interest gap here in Thailand to form a chapter, but let say that, IMHO, "local" need not be national; it could represent as small an area or group as you like, I think. Best wishes, David
