[UCIMC-Tech] Re: [Imc-web] facebook "share" option for articles

[Chris Ritzo]

Thanks for clarifying Mike. At the tech meeting tonight we talked about
beginning to build our volunteer base by coordinating and offering workshops
on various "techknowledge" topics. Kind of similar to what we did in August
with the Skillshare series. The same might be done for new
editor/contributors to the site. In light of recent events I'm sure that
many would be interested in learning about publishing, recording, etc.
Perhaps this is an area we can include in our plans.
