Tools for Publicizing Working Groups
Here are avenues for publicizing the establishment of a working group, call for participation, accomplishments or milestones, and final reports.
Feel free to consult with Emily Eisbruch (emily@internet2.edu) on leveraging these tools.
- emails to Internet2, InCommon, EDUCAUSE, other relevant organization's mailing lists (REFEDs, GEANT, ACUA, CLAC, Quilt...)
- emails to particular individuals we want to reach out to
- Social Media:
Internet2 or InCommon Facebook and Twitter (Emily/Dean/Meredith)
- blog (Emily/Dean will coordinate)
- Blurb in
Internet2 Community Update and/or InCommon Monthly Newsletter (Emily/Dean will coordinate)
webinars, such as IAM Online, coordinated by Dean Woodbeck
presentations at Internet2 meetings and/or other organizations' meetings (generally initiated by Working Group Chair)
