Do we want to use Coactivate to collate information at a national level

With the current decision not due to close until 1 month away, is it possible to bring the close of the decision date closer after it has been set?? So for eg. in this case we dont have to wait so long to start using coactivate as there are currently a number of photos and documents floating around from the Hui not to mention everything from the previous year which is just waiting for one "accessable to everyone" home?

Good point Joy. Noting that a pretty strong consensus is forming about this who is keen to step forward to make this happen? Not pointing a blunt elbow at anybody in particular @emmamcguirk but it'd be nice to get cracking on this yeah?

Given the number of people that have put their views forward, and noting the general mood at the hui, I don't think we necessarily need to wait for this decision to close before we start to set it up?

Technically wise I don't think you can change the close date but I do have a great big 'close proposal' button over to the right of this page. Want me to push it, see what happens?

Hi Miles! No worries I can get it started if you think we have given people enough time to look at the Dunedin project and share their thoughts. I have just been waiting until the proposal closed. If I don't need to then that is fine! Feel free to push the big red button if you want to :-)

OK I'm gonna click the close proposal button tomorrow. Just so you all know.

Just a note on terminology, TBANZ is the name of the network (us). The website has never been "TBANZ". It's usually referred to as "the TBANZ site" or timebank.org.nz. Can I suggest tb.org.nz as a less confusing shorthand?

Hey @strypey yeah thanks I know that now, was a bit confused for a bit about tbanz and/or website. got it clear now. Can't change the proposal though, unfortunately, as its not editable.

We're ready to go on CoActivate :-D

All the info you need for getting started is there. Really looking forward to seeing this project evolve!

p.s. earlier today I wrote some really wordy comments about getting started on CoActivate that I have since deleted. All I really needed to say was, "here's the link!" :-) I hope you don't mind that I have deleted those comments and replaced them with this one. Not sure what the etiquette is on loom.io for doing that (I figure in this instance it's ok because I haven't made the conversation hard to follow by removing that info?).

Looking forward to our collection of resources growing on CoActivate :-)

I've sent an invite to join our project on CoActivate to everyone who was on Ruth Seabright's email list for the Raglan hui :-)

I've also sent email invites out to everyone here in our loom.io group. And you can join directly, from our coactivate homepage:
www.coactivate.org/projects/tbanz

There will be more people to add later on but that is a great start I think! 42 people including me. Even if just some/most of them join that will be plenty of people for making a good start on collaboratively building our resources collection.

Yay Emma! Loomio in action ;) Go free code software!
