Grex Town Hall -- How do we move forward?
| 
Jun 14 17:02 UTC 2010 |
The board had mentioned a while back about having a "town hall" meeting,
but that would generally only be for those who can come in person. So,
to fill in that gap, we thought it would be good to have an item that
will stay around as agora get rolled. So, here it is.
What we want to do is get opinions about how Grex can move forward, what
we can do to encourage more people to use it, and what we want Grex to
provide in terms of services or applications.
Some of these questions have come up in other items, but we'd like to
pull them all into here and develop a plan for Grex to move beyond where
it is today. Now that we've had 6 months or more to try to get Grex
going again, it is time to see what else we can do beyond making it more
stable and reliable and adding more staff to take care of issues in a
timely manner.

I want Grex to attract new members, which it is not doing and has not
been doing since the validation patch was put in eliminating a fully
open newuser. Today's internet has far too many things to do for most
people to have the patience to wait around for some staff member to
'validate' them and confer that they are good enough to participate here.
The validation patch should be removed and then Grex needs to discuss
ways it can publicize itself and attract more people here. Grex needs
to use some of its funds to let people know its around and its cool. I
recall some years ago Grex used to sponsor a movie night at one of the
outdoor movie things they had in A2, even gave out keychains or pins or
something there one year. Grex can also better publicize itself through
youtube, facebook, twitter .etc
