Bristol Quakers IT Committee

Bristol & Frenchay Monthly Meeting

of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)

Information Technology Committee

Aims

The Committee is responsible for the Bristol and Frenchay Monthly Meeting website and other forms of on-line communication.

Members

Representatives from each Preparative Meeting are appointed usually for three years. The basic task of members is to maintain and develop articles for the Monthly Meeting web-site, outreach being its principal aim.

The committee normally meets every two months for two hours and communicates using email in between. There is no travel outside the Bristol & Frenchay area. Normally we meet at the house of a member without a car.

Tasks

Specific tasks include:

liasing with Preparative Meeting clerks to ensure that the web-pages for each Preparative Meeting are accurate and appropriate;

proposing articles from the Monthly Meeting newsletter or other sources suitable for conversion to web-pages for a non-Quaker readership;

reviewing the style and format of web-pages;

collecting email addresses for members of their Preparative Meeting who would like to be informed by email of occasional events;

probably but not necessarily, be willing to receive email messages for announcing notices in their Preparative Meeting;

at least one member has to produce and edit web pages.

Knowledge and expertise

The members do not need to be experts in IT but it is preferable to have easy access to the Internet.

It helps to have access to the internet for communication and for review of proposed web-pages.

At least one member has to be able to produce and edit web pages.

At least one member has to be able to load web pages to the host site.
