[p2pu-dev] another argument for a "webmaster" group

[Pippa Buchanan]

Hi everyone and Nadeem especially,

like Philipp, I can't post to a group's unless I'm a member of it :-) -
hence the need for a webmaster role that we could use for cases like this.

@Zuzel - is there someway I can leave a message that's public on the Flash
911 group?

For reference here are the messages I sent Sarvesh, though minus my
judicious use of whitespace:


*Hi, thanks for creating a study group at P2PU. Unfortunately your group can
not be a part of the School of Webcraft as our focus in on open and
standards-based web development. I hope you understand that a group with a
topic focus on Flash is not able to be supported by Webcraft. However,
please do feel free to organise your group within the general environment of
P2PU. Best wishes, Pippa Buchanan, Course and Curriculum Lead, School of
Webcraft. You received this message through the Contact Organizer form at
FLASH 911: http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/flash-911/ *


Sarvesh replied (as he's not able to give permission I won't share his
response).

My reply to that was:

*Hi Sarvesh, I hope you don't misunderstand me, P2PU in general would love
to host your course - but it can not be part of Webcraft. School of Webcraft
is just one part of the greater P2PU community and our focus is on open and
standards based web development. You can read more in our draft charter here
that recognises the partnership between Mozilla Foundation and P2PU:
http://etherpad.mozilla.org:9000/webcraft-charter Unfortunately for your
group - the Webcraft school can't support a Flash related topic as it is a
proprietary technology that web developers can't freely develop with. But
please do continue to organise a group within P2PU (new.p2pu.org). Please
let me know if you have any more questions, Pippa *


Best,

Pippa
