Re: [school-discuss] Schoolforge UK

[David Bucknell <david@members.iteachnet.org>]

Dear Chris,

Let me echo Hilaire: "Well done indeed!" This is just great news as you've set a
positive precedent for the rest of us to follow.

Re joining Schoolforge, please start by filling out the form at
http://seuldat.seul.org/cgi-bin/mementer0.pl.

The typical e-mail sent in response says:

1. Please copy the logo of your choice from http://schoolforge.net/logos to your
site, place it prominently and link it to http://schoolforge.net/.
2. Join Schoolforge-discuss (which you already have).
3. Participate (which you already do).

I would like to add a 4th: Post news of your plans as well as your
accomplishments on http://news.schoolforge.net -- Most of our work is eternally
"in-progress" so it might seem like nothing is happening, but I think it would
be fair to treat work-in-progress as news in many cases, so please (all
schoolforgers) post / send news.

Meanwhile, I am trying to bridge the language and interest gap here in Thailand
to form a chapter, but let say that, IMHO, "local" need not be national; it
could represent as small an area or group as you like, I think. 

Best wishes,

David

Thank you and keep up the good work,
