[BNM] [OT] Volunteers needed for Poets Corner Fun Day

[Mark Walker]

Hello all

SCIP has been working with residents in Poets Corner, Hove, to help 
them publish information online, working with Brighton University to 
research the impact this has on networks with the community.

This Saturday is Poets Corner Fun Day, a community festival held in 
Stoneham Park, in the heart of Poets Corner off Portland Road. It's a 
great chance to make contact with peoiple and see what they want to 
do, and we're looking for volunteers to come along and help on our 
stall and join in the fun.

We'll be doing lots of showing and helping, so that people can start 
to understand what's possible and begin to use a website that local 
people have been helping to build, including:
- watching podcasts, online and on video iPods
- using video from mobile phones to upload to a website
- taking digital photos and using digital video
- getting feedback on what people think of emerging social software 
sites like myspace, frappr, flickr etc
- helping people understand what they can do to add their thoughts 
and views to a community web site

The site itself is growing now at: http://poetscornercommunity.net. 
Beyond the Fun Day there will also be ongoing workshops so that 
people can learn more and become regular contributors to the site.

We're looking for anyone who's interested in coming along for an hour 
or so to help out on the stall, showing people how the various 
gadgets work, guiding people around various websites, taking 
photographs and video of the day, etc.

You don't need any particular skills because we can show you what to 
do, but it would be good to know what time you can come and whether 
you have particular interests or skills.

Please reply to me off list

Thanks

Mark
