[olug-colo] Suggestions for Official E-mail

[Aric Aasgaard]

IMHO we need something better than just text collaboration.

 

I can't even post this picture I made that describes my current feelings on
internet connections in Omaha.

I would suggest something like joomla or plone.

Plone is Zope/python and it is awesome.

Joomla is php and has already made modules/plugins for everything. 

 

We need to give members the ability to do lots of stuff on the site so that
the work load can be distributed.

 

We should be able to make it so that people can subscribe to forum topics
and read and respond via email.

You can with wordpress so I if it isn't already an available option as a
forum plugin I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to monkey mod it.

I second the Google Apps "motion."

Sounds good, email is the only thing I check on a regular basis, mainly

Something just occurred to me - we need a good unified solution for
communication and collaboration.  Instead of just using the Drupal
website set up at colo.olug.org <http://colo.olug.org/>  (which appears to
be quite unused
nowadays), we should also set up email to use for official
communications.

We should establish official @omahaix.com <http://omahaix.com/>  email
addresses for business
purposes.  My suggestion is to use Google Apps.  Centralized mail,
document sharing and collaboration, all that jazz.  Maybe it's just me
but I think having official email addresses gives a better impression
of how organized this venture is.  (The answer being "not very", but
still, everyone else doesn't know that.)

Thoughts?
