<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Sebastian,<br><br>Thanks for starting this discussion! It was a discussion I was meaning to start, so you read my mind. Thank you!<br><br>I have actually already drafted a flyer that is designed to be used to recruit new members. I'm attaching it here. I can still change it, so anyone, please let me know if you have proposed changes. I could also make a half sheet version of it so that people could take a half sheet with them, instead of a little tear-off strip.<br>
<br></div>To answer your original question, we do want to recruit new members. But keep in mind that hcoop is a little tough for very non-techie types. Members should be able to understand the <a href="http://wiki.hcoop.net/MemberManual"><span id="goog_1092729782"></span><span id="goog_1092729783"></span>Member Manual </a>and not require a ton of hand-holding from our admins, who are all volunteers. Does that help?<br>
<br></div>Thank you!<br><br>Lauren<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 5:08 PM, granito <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:granito@hcoop.net" target="_blank">granito@hcoop.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<pre>Hello everyone, I'm Sebastian, I recently joined Hcoop after hearing about it for a long time from Clinton, Steve and Bpt. I'm a google apps refugee due to the recent Snowden revelations. I want to have my own space on the internet to keep my email, files, and whatever other odds and ends. I figure there's plenty of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/476528695773018/?ref=3" target="_blank">other people</a> like me who may not know about options such as hcoop. I have ideas for recruitment but I'd like to get your feedback first. <br>
Most importantly, are these desirable members? I don't know who the target membership is. My idea at the moment is a half-sheet flyer to pass out at the Restore the 4th protest in Raleigh, NC. It'd feature a design of a dragnet cut by a knife that has "hcoop" engraved on it and the slogan "escape the dragnet, join hcoop." It would have a small list of services hcoop offers, a link to the main page, and the monthly cost. Depending on space it could include more information.<br>
Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Improvable idea? I have no design skills at all so design help would be much appreciated. If ya'll feel this is not the members we should be going for I understand that too. The next protest is going to be August 4th so there's not a whole lot of time to get it done. There will be others in the future though. Thanks for reading!<br>
<br>Sebastian Fernandez Giraldo.</pre>
