<div dir="ltr">I think that moving into open source tools is a
great idea and the project should move forward. However,as you
can read in other emails there are already many ideas and
comments as to what type of tools to use. The next step should
be for you to tell the chapters your recommended tools and let
us comment on them as to the coms and pros before deciding on
anything. After all we are going to end using these.

<div>By the way, is this project going to take care of fixing
(or replacing)the "connect" platform. The current one does not
"connect" at all, specially if you are reading it in a mobile
phone.</div>

<div>Dear all,
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">In March of this year,
we sent all of
you a mail regarding the need for a suite of open
source tools and
shared facilities to help every ISOC chapter live
up to its full
potential. The mail also invited you to
participate in a survey.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">22 chapters responded,
which we thought
was pretty good, and you can find <a href="https://isoc.nl/isoc/results-chapter-survey/" target="_blank">the results of the survey on our
website</a>. As you will see, some reactions
were positive, some
contributed a few interesting ideas, and a few
were more skeptic.5 chapters expressed their
willingness
to be involved further in the project.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">We then discussed the
results of the
survey with <a href="http://ISOC.ORG" target="_blank">ISOC.ORG</a>
with the result that they agreed to financially
support the following goals for phase 1:</p>
<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
1. Assemble a number of open source tools accomodating:<br>
<div>
<ul>
<li>a conveniently editable,
accessible, responsive website </li>
<li>a collaborative real-time editor for
documents </li>
<li>secure web conferencing facility with
IM capabilities for online meetings</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">2. Create accessible and
attractive ISOC
chapter templates for desktop/mobile browser/tablet
at least suitable
for this projects' open source tools, with room for
posts,
background articles and chapter information</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">3. Design acessible and
attractive ISOC
chapter templates for news letters</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">The designs will be
coordinated with
the rebranding project at ISOC.org.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">In our opinion this
reflects many of
the wishes expressed in the survey, and thus is a
very good start of the
project. However, we can only go ahead if we
can demonstrate a clear show of interest from all of
you and
therefore the question to you is: do you want this
project to go
forward?</p>
<div>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><i><u>If so, please
reply to this mail with
your chapters' name and a definite “YES”.</u></i></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Thanks for your support
in advance, and
let us know if you have any questions or want to
be more involved. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">
</p>
