A plea for help

4 Comments »

Hi folks. I started this site with help from neighborhood media guru John Murden the day after I got laid off from my former job. I’ve since found gainful employment that will prevent me from doing any more work with ByrdPark.net. In the coming days I’m going to hand the site over John (murden@gmail.com) until someone steps up to run it. If you’re interested, let him know, and he can get you started. The neighborhood needs this site, and though it’s off to a good start, it certainly has room for improvement and more voices.

Thanks, and I look forward to being a reader.

    Tim,

    Congratulations on getting a job. That’s wonderful.

    I MIGHT be interested in helping out. I’m a teacher and in the throws of house renovation. One of the reasons we moved to the city was for the great neighborhood resources.

    Can you be more explicit in what is involved and how much time it takes?

    Thanks,

    Tamisha

    Hey Tamisha,

    I’ll answer this for Tim. The involvement is as much or as little as you can give.

    Ideally, we need a person or persons to take on day-to-day responsibility for the site. This basically means 30 minutes or so a day posting new stories and calendar events as they come in, perhaps following up in ideas or questions that are sent in by others. This is probably a good role for someone that knows or would like to know the civic, political, and cultural leaders of the area.

    The site also depends on community residents to submit ideas, stories, observations, events, photos, etc. If you see something that you think other folks in the area would like to know about or have a chance to discuss, send it in! If you are a member of a local organization and you’ve got something planned – send it in!

    Hi All,

    I am not a member of this group but would very much like to be if it were an active group. I would like to join and volunteer to help and participate in planned events if it ever gets going – just expressing my interest and willingness and thankfulness to all for whatever time and effort has been expended!

    I’ve called a meeting with John Murden this Sunday at 11am to discuss a distributed editorship of this site. Hopefully, with more hands on deck, we’ll generate more content, spread out responsibility to a manageable level, and the increased participation will result in an informative, engaging, and representative community website. If you’re interested in playing an active role (big or small), please drop me a line at jasonguard(at)riseup(dot)net.
