Discussion

  • Should we setup a Photography Interest Group Website?
  • Are members interested in creating their own content? WordPress is like a word processor and creating content and uploading photos is easy. Each member has their own folder and category.
  • Would members prefer to keep the website private or allow others like family members to access the site?
    • Some areas could be setup as ‘members-only’ like contact info
  • UCSD hosting – not likely
  • Managed by Jim with content & updates emailed to him or some combination of admins and authors.
  • What should it be called? ucsdphig.org, ucsdphig.club or ??? ucsdphoto.group

Advantages –

  • keep track of previous meeting themes and images – great for members who missed a meeting
  • add/index links of interest
  • find & contact other members
  • plan meet-ups, lunches, and photo shoots
  • post next meeting date & theme
