Are you ready for cetErAtOlle?
EAO: 2nd July 2009 -- Before you ask 'what on earth....?' look again: CamelCase? Password suggestive of new digital frontiers....a configuration hinting at peaks and valleys - even an 'atoll'? EAO and ....cetera tolle.
Are we ready now for an EAO blog? Some may have already noticed that sdb.org is offering a link to a blog accompanying Don Bosco's Casket in America South Cone region. It may take a little time for the blog to 'take off'. The technology is all working; the blog is part of the shift to interactivity already announced as part of the sdb.org remake, but as always it takes a little time for members of the Salesian Family to be aware on the one hand and, on the other, to use these new offerings. South Cone through its Chile province has offered to manage this blog. Essentially it is up to them.
If South Cone has one, why not us? The Congregation's website is offering the possibility; of course a blog is a particular kind of animal. It needs to be managed, moderated, and that all takes time and a little discipline. What we now need are several people who are prepared to network with the Web Team in Rome to help moderate such a blog. The Team will see to the technical side. We need the managers/moderators.
In every instance a blog hosted by the Congregation's website will have its ultimate authority invested in those who manage that website - its coordinator, webmaster. But we live in a networked and collaborative world and it is time we took the appropriate steps to put that into practice where we can.
Hence, read this as an appeal. The blog needs to be a regional blog, not one man's effort. We have all the possibilities for setting up a small networked team in the region to do this. What the Congregation is offering through its website is the technology and a blog which can already be set up and ready to go. The only cost is the one implied by 'cetera tolle'!
Would you like to help? Let's talk about it - you know who to contact!
