New subject: building a team of Inkscape forum representatives

13 Feb 2015


      Hi Friends,
I want to create a small team made up of representatives from all the 
Inkscape forums which are listed on the Community page of the website. 
(https://inkscape.org/en/community/)   This could be useful for making 
certain announcements to a broader community of Inkscape users, only a 
fraction of which are even aware of the mailing lists.  For example, it 
would be nice to have a message posted in all the forums, linking to the 
recent news items about the need for donations for Hackfest. 
(https://inkscape.org/en/news/2015/02/11/inkscape-developers-need-your-help/). 
For another example, to announce a world-wide drawing competition, perhaps 
such as the About Screen contest, or others which may be created in the 
future.
In the past, since I only understand English, I've run into problems trying 
to figure out who the admins are, for the non-English forums, and problems 
communicating, even if I can identify the admins.  But that was before I 
joined this user list.  And so now, maybe I can reach out on this mailing 
list, and begin to build this team.
It would involve very little efforts or time/energy, on the part of these 
volunteers.  Such representatives would receive very occasional emails from 
me, with the links and info that needs to be posted.  We just need 1 person 
from each of the forums listed below, who would be willing to receive these 
email messages, and post the info in new topics on the appropriate board of 
their forum.  It doesn't have to be the admin of the forum (but it could 
be).  Any registered member who is allowed to post messages could do the 
job.
InkscapeForum.com - I can post here myself
Inkscape Community - same here
InkscapeForum.de (German forum) - we already have a volunteer for this forum
Inkscapeforum.it (Italian forum)
Open Draw Community (another German forum)
LinuxGraphic.org's Inkscape board (French forum)
Russian Inkscape forum (Russian)
Inkscape Google Plus Community 
(https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117926126525789007045)
Just reply to this mail with your name and contact info.  If you don't want 
to announce your address on the mailing list, just send the reply to me 
directly.
And by the way, I know there are more Inkscape forums in existence, which 
are not listed on the Community page.  I'd be very happy to add them to the 
list, if the admins of those forums would like to be listed.  Just reply to 
this message, to let me know.
Thanks for your help  :-)
