Communications Planning

Getting Domain Names

Craig has bought some domains, They have links to all of our sites and is basically just a general portal page.

• http://www.hive13.org
• http://www.hiveonethree.org
• http://www.hiveonethree.com

Group Mailing Lists and Member Accounts

These are hive13 mailings lists. Each ends with hive13.org of course:

• membership - To sign up as a member or to ask general membership related questions.
• comm - Communications Group - Central group to communicate what is going on with Hive13
• propaganda - Art/Logs/Shirt Designs, etc
• meatspacers - Group in charge of finding a space for Hive13 to work

Proposal:

• Use User Accounts as a way of managing membership. This can be used as a single-sign on (SSO) solution and to control multi-tier membership access if so desired.
  • I like this idea if we know of a way to accomplish it. 1243544577

Public vs. Private

• I think we need to start differentiating between what we consider public and private comms infrastructure. I think there always needs to be something public that is very easily to contribute to, and then in addition to that add the private accounts, rooms, etc, etc. 1243624830

Password Regime

• who knows which passwords, pin numbers, etc, etc?
• how/when should passwords be shared?
