EVOKE Forever - 5/6 platform Launch - Its All Ready -The Structure,etc.. explained.
Hi Every Agent,
This is a blog for all Agents so please send on. It is not for power votes it is for something completely different.
After a long weekend analysing networking platforms with both a I.T consultant and myself I have created and made ready to use a structured Network platform to use after this ends on the 12th of May for all those wishing to continue to EVOKE. I have made the website with a organised platform so it can be used to not only share information and group knowledge and our current blogs on a range of topics more clearly and easily accessible but to have a real organised professional looking platform to make things also happen and set up real life projects.
Welcome to Evoke Forever!
EVOKE Forever has been created as a follow on from the UrgentEVOKE project set up by the World Bank Institute. It has been created to allow people to continue to come together, share knowledge on the World and make things happen in key areas affecting the world today to help create a sustainable, developed world for us all.
Who we are:
We are a group of social innovators. From a range of backgrounds understanding sciences, business, psychology, technology, politics to
farming and network creation we together can work on effective projects
to acheive our main set of objectives.
Mission Statement:
TO BE DISCUSSED and decided as group.
Our Purpose:
• Network for Organised Knowledge/Information and Idea Sharing on the World, it's current state and it's potential future.
• Initiate active participation in World Development; Sustainability and Social Innovation.
• Create Local groups to fulfill objectives; We begin to work locally and then change globally.
Objectives (To be further updated after Launch):
• Promote Sustainable Agriculture - Understand, Analyse, and Solve the Food Security Problem.
• Share knowledge to Rest of world to make issues more known.
• Promote Sustainable Living
• Promote Social Innovation and Reduce, Eradicate and Assist to wipe out poverty.
• Promote Learning, create schools, learning platforms and generate ideas on solutions to tackle world problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will run 6 platforms:
- The main Platform where the magic, knowledge sharing and activity creation happens. After a lot of comparison groupsite.com was decided as the network platform and you will see why. The link is: http://evokeforever.groupsite.com.
- The Facebook Group - Currently it is closed I am making it open later today; http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10150131340630083 It will be for all to join. Why? It is not going to be no1. It is going to be used as a means to get others interested in out work. Promote ourselves and get our real life activities to have more volunteers and participants. How is it going to be controlled? Agent Karen L. has currently from my communication with online Agents most experience in that field so will ask her best method. Which leads us on to the third platform.
- Twitter - Used to spread events, promote our site and network.
- MySpace - Now this is a platform I have been thinking over the weekend about and yes it is mostly used by artists,etc but therefore it again can be a great tool. So we may need a MySpace manager. I say this as with so many artists signed up. Promoting ourselves on there may get some publicity as well as open our horizon to create a big music event for charities and organisations; ex. glasshouse (Europe).
- Buzz/Google Groups - Google Group set up :-) (Thank you Agent A.V Koshy for idea) Name: Evoke Forever; http://groups.google.com/group/evoke-forever Again will need manager and used similar as facebook not main platform, but to be managed but a couple and share certain updates, so word spreads to larger amounts of people in world. Anyone one Buzz you can add me :-) I already spread word to my current following buzzers.
- Wiki - Storage of data - grouped information.(Agent Stefano)
After a week of initial signing people interested in joining the management team of the top platform; evokeforever.groupsite.com will e-mail/message me. We will arrange a online conference meeting and top platform will be up and running. It will have 5 continent managers, a facebook group manager, a (twitter manager) I put this in brackets as we all who are on twitter can tweet (Agent Karen L. please advise) as well as a MySpace manage, Google Group manager will be needed.
The platforms will be open for all to join and sign up to.
However, how to moderate main platform; http://evokeforever.groupsite.com? Well I have created two simple questions that need to be answered on sign up and is for all; 1.Why in one/few sentences are you joining Evoke Forever? 2. What is/Will be your biggest interest/contribution area for EVOKE Forever you think?
I have created a simple doc**ent explaining the wh*** how to join the platform and usage model here: Joining site_Site Usage.doc. I have completed and added examples in all areas to show what I mean. Please read as made detailed to understand real intrinsics of site usages.
Also when you go to the main page you will see on the right a video box underneath the adds, In a few minutes teaching you through video how to use platform. On main page currently a written summary of above doc**ent file.
I have also made a code of conduct CODE OF CONDUCT.doc
as I have put at the end of it is to be edited after launch but just something for now to ensure we as members dont get off track and are all on same page.
Ok, I am going to leave it to that for now. I want you all to join. Note: Not a game a organised database and network for people who want to not only share which is great but also allow possibility for real life collaboration through a real organised manner. Not Avatar - People for People
Thanks! Please CHECK IT OUT!
Look forward to your feedback and joining.
Note to all current FACEBOOK AND NING.COM Delta-Team members I can invite you if preferred just message me with subject; EVOKE Forever and your e-mail and I can send a invite.
Agent Radhika
Note: It is continued to be fun as people can commend you on site too :-) Not as point system or as game but as appreciation to continue motivated sharing knowing you are acknowledged and appreciated.

Awesome work Radz!!!!
I really agree of the usage of the platforms your suggest. I'm just getting into the Groupsite stuff but let me know if I can help you with anything. I use facebook A LOT so that would be my easier task but I can learn and work a few hours per week in either platform.
I would suggest to send an Evoke to the network for them to join the groupsite and update their profile. The would have to show prove of this in the Evoke with a tag and we would give them energy points for that. I can help you with that if you want =)

Wow! Oh my Radhika! Good job is an understatement. I'm getting this out to Twitterverse!!
p.s., let me gather my thoughts. I want to be thorough with my reply.
Good job Radhika! I don't care! I'm going to vote for you anyways for this!

What do you think of using #EvokeForever as hashtag on Twitter for this? I'll just use it for now and go from there.

Agent a.v. kosy you are right. Need to spend a day to learn it better :-) But as we can create rss feeds on groupsite too...we can use that to spread too. Will add to my buzz for now also create google group.oh and ofcourse update blog incase people dont read these comments :-)

This is simply great. Your planning is very well structured and I do think that this sort of action was absolutely needed.
I would only say a few things:
1) together with the rest of the SEED group we prepared an EVOKE Wiki, which is intended to be available and contributed by everybody (infos here). It is already outside the EVOKE ning network, in order to have full control over it, then it will be online even after May 12. Don't you think it might be useful to include a wiki in the "Evoke Forever" project?
2) any chance of having the groupsite ad-free? Please just take as a constructive critic, but I believe that dealing with global and ethical issues, it would be nice to avoid third parties to push unwanted or out-of-topic ads on the group website.
3) maybe it's a nerdish request but, for the sake of accessibility, could you make the doc**ents available also in open format (as .odt from open office) or available on google docs?
Again, they're just personal notes, aimed to be someway helpful. Please don't take them as a "you-might-have-done-more-than-this".
You actually did a lot, and I'll be among those disobeying your no-points request: +1 RESOURCEFULNESS :)

This is great! May I suggest that Evoke Forever also has the possibility of being a platform where the voice for wisdom includes a new conversation for ethics and compassion. Part of what is making Evoke so amazing is the spiritual element that is running through the missions.
I like how Umair Haque puts it:
Evoke. Strategy is the application of force. Wisdom is the application of love. Strategy suppresses, but Wisdom evokes. Its test is the ability to spark new ideas, concepts, and solutions. That is how to be valued by people, communities, and society. . .

Hey guys/Linda,all can be done just need everyone to join network first then we can finetune mission statement, etc as said in blog. If all comment and feedback come back well in 3 weeks to month I give it atleast we can have summary perfect, code of conduct perfect,etc...being realistic as most playing this game and more importance to them atm.
@stefano take all as constructive critism no problem.Point one you message me how you think best implemented sounds sensible on first hand but dont know in's and out's appreciate your proposal. 2. As mentioned in blog for cent each I am sure as $9p.m to get ads free will be done. Also if gets serious and everyone also feels we need to move platform with more capabilities can just move to price plan with groupsite $29 or less a month and allows all changes we want really. Just as base thought this def brilliant and best to work on for now if we dont want to pay, but most structured which important for success. I've noticed most people ignore google ads these days but as said democractic choice and $9 a month not much if group is large.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
