OccupyHouston - Topic: Communication http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/communication/ Simple:Press Version 4.5.1 bobdelfino on Communication http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/communication/#p2722 General Discussion http://occupyhouston.org/forum/general-discussion/communication/#p2722 This is quite crucial for our movement here in Houston.  We need this website or someplace to be the hub for many living in outlying areas to come to for all their Occupy Houston info.   I know this has been bantered around a bit but this needs to be posted for many to see and comment on.  Our 'Occupation' needs to establish connections with people all over.  Houston is too spread out for people to drive back and forth to Tranquility park just to find out what is currently taking place or connect with other 'Occupiers'.  One of our big issues is numbers.  In order to connect more people to the movement, we need the infrastructure to overcome the obstacle Houston presents.  We need connectivity.  Not only that, it needs to be connected to Tranquility park, so if something happens there in the day, it is posted and available for observation or comment by evening.  

 

I say all this having little expertise in networking, website building and maintenance.  But I believe it is crucial for the future of Occupy Houston.  We have to tackle our local obstacles and make them work in our favor.

 

Thanks Pierre
