Preemptively, I'd like to flag that we should connect around strategy if it's appropriate for all WordFly-based orgs to reach out to our patrons about the ransomware data breach.
I have absolutely nothing deeper than that to say yet, but it occurred to me earlier today that, should we need to do this, a good number of tri-state area people may suddenly be on the receiving end of dozens of alarming notifications and make the issue feel even larger. A coordinated notification may be a better approach.Should today's Town Hall reveal that we ought to pursue this, we'll spin up an initial Zoom or something along those lines.Please go ahead and use this thread to note ideas or even just interest.CC: to the NJ folks, Howard Levine and Mark DuBose
Good morning -
Let's re-poll our community preferences around sending notifications out to constituents, as we had good news from WordFly and have at least a bit more concrete information than we previously did.
https://forms.gle/FXw1aUVv1jJLeB4YA
I've included new response choices to indicate having already sent something out, as well as an option to "decline to answer." I am hoping the latter allows representatives of more organizations to indicate they're following the conversation, even if they can't share plans--it's helpful to know how many of us are represented.
Also, acknowledging: Many/most of us are expecting to keep evaluating as we learn more about who is or isn't doing a patron notification. Please consider this baked into the response you give now, ie preference/plan only as the landscape stands right now.
I'll figure out a way to share a graph of the results here.
Last quick note: This is a log of web links to notifications that have gone out (none local at the moment). If you have others to add to this reference, please send me the web link at jobrien@new42.org and I'll add them in.
Hi all, and happy return of WordFly day.
To echo an email I just sent out to some people directly, it seems like the scale is starting to tip towards more patron notifications. As such, I'll convene a conversation space for an effort to have joint/coordinated communications.
As a first step, I'm running a Doodle to determine which time slot works for the most people/organizations. If you'd like to actively participate in this planning, feel free to weigh in about time via the Doodle. Once confirmed, the appointment and Zoom info will go out via this forum.
Pre-Monday morning quick note:
There are enough Mon afternoon and Tues morning indications of availability that we will be able to use one of those times instead of first thing Mon. I can’t edit the Doodle to remove it though.
I’ll finalize the actual time on Monday morning—add your reply before 11am please, if you’d like to weigh in on preference.
