FaceBook Group Page

[Solus Hospes]

Please note, I am posting this only to prompt productive action. I thought to make it easier by starting threads in appropriate groups with proposals that need work. Anyone can help with these; please, and thank you. -M.E.

Proposal: “The Facebook Fan Page is too hard to find and keep track of, can we make a group page on facebook?”

[/b]
Concerns: A group page allows us to tag the group in images, share other FB posts on the group without leaving the page we’re on. It also allows us to have the group on the left side of our FB home pages for one-click-to-Occupy Melbourne FL FB group page to see updates and notifications. (Can we have both?) Yes. (We shouldn’t get too many pages, other groups are struggling with too many places to get information.) We have facebook for sharing, message boards for discussion and hashing our plans, and the website for promoting our work, keeping static information that doesn’t change, etc.
Consensus: PASSED- Web team will open a Facebook Group with the same name “Occupy Melbourne Fl.” And post the link on the current page so we can all join and start posting! [/quote]

What we need from this Work Group:
Create the Facebook Group Page: www.facebook.com/groups/occupymelbournefl
Post link on FaceBook Fan Page: done by M.E. (feel free to do it again)
Get Members to join the new group: invite friends/etc
Post material: Posted GA minutes, Posted events

Anything else you can think of.

Need volunteers/comments/suggestions for admins of the group page to keep it flowing with information, up to date, and on target with our goals. Right now I'm the only admin and facebook wont let people just join they have to be approved. If we add more admins, more people can make sure others don't have to wait to join and post.

You can add me as an admin if you want. Also, I get a few OWS/ political related items daily from a couple of email lists I am on which I could share.

[Solus Hospes]

Excellent, I will. Thank you Mireille.

You can add me as an admin, bc I can make Direct Action event posts! Also, Caturday from the 99 purr-cent! Also charts, and meme funnies about occupy! (Or not those last two silly things, tho I like them.)

Also, is there an admin policy for who we approve? If so please tell me before I admin (if you want me to) bc otherwise I will approve everyone not blatantly trolling in their fb name/profile pic.

I suppose I'm just approving those willing and who've shown they have level heads. If abuse is found we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Approved
