Publishing news and promoting events

• Jane Young (Unlicensed) identify who, if any, staff from CSU we shoulder-tap to join either of these groups.I think we need Communications involvement in these two area, but over to you.

Publish news (WIP-229) and Promote events (WIP-242)

Content for email

Thanks for the names you provided for the images and embedded media areas. Many people have contributed via the shared documents and I have started the writ-up of what they have asked for. Most requirements seem quite reasonable and achievable.

I am now moving on to the next two areas, those of news and events and ask that you again suggest appropriate contact people:

1. Publish news: All faculties stated that news is an important aspect of your site and we want to understand what you need to make this work (better). Participants should have a working knowledge of how things are currently done (either on your school/faculty sites and/or on home site) and ideas on how it can be improved.
2. Promote events: With so many interesting events happening around the University (My family and I attended Learning about light over the weekend. Very good) it is important that we promote them effectively. Again, it helps to have both a working knowledge of how it is currently done plus insights in to how this can be improved.

I am seeking your input to identify a small number of staff (ideally one or at most two per faculty) to form a working group to draft (or at identify and I do the drafting of) the detailed requirements for these two themes. The nominated people would need to:

• Be familiar with this area/topic
• Be responsible for pages that need this content/functionality
• Have an interest in specifying how this works in future
• Will contribute via a shared document or chat to me over a coffee

I expect that some faculties will have the same person(s) for each group and others will have a different representation at each. And it is also perfectly acceptable to trust that your requirements will be catered for by the contributions of others and place nominate nobody.

Table of participants

Not all workshops will require representatives from all the following categories, but the table serves as a check list of who to consider.
