Redhead!

Dont listen to FMF....she's impatiently patient.

Everyone who responded should have gotten an email today outlining the initial chat discussion. IF I'VE MISSED ANYONE that is interested in joining in just email me or PM me and I will include.

Thanks and keep on adding to the thread with your ideas!

We have sent out invites to the official chat tomorrow night CDT.

I've also sent out a bit of what other groups are presently doing.

Want to apologise for some of the typo's in my last email. ;) Too tired to remember spellcheck.

We've had overwhelming response to organising a revolution. NOW comes the time for doin. I see a real chance of everyone joining efforts that can focus and unify the Browncoat community and bring in several new Browncoats. It is our unified efforts and numbers that will make the difference to eventually see what we ALL want to see.

Thanks everyone!

Ok, sorry I'm late. I went away for a bit and lost the thread.

You guys have been busy.

Just before the chat (which is scheduled for me at 5:30 in the morning!!!! no worries, I'll drag my sad, tired bones to the office and the computer) I just wanted to put something out there.

Seems to me that there is quite a few projects going out there now.

There is almost just as many websites. Each one doing there own thing, and trying to spread the word to as much people as possible. But not always succeeding.

http://signal.serenityfirefly.com/links.html

Unfortunately, it is not possible for one group to spread the word to everybody else. There is a number of cross posting, but that doesn't always reach everybody.

What I suggest is, instead of forming a centralised website, that we rather set up an organised network.

Now this would work much better if I could draw a picture.

Wait, I hope this helps.



The principle of the idea is to facilitate the transfer of information.

We form a core group (Lets call it the Cortex group. Just because this explanation is very long and it'll get confusin')

We get a list of ALL the Browncoat websites, and ALL the Browncoat yahoo groups and forums and myspace groups.

We divide them between the members of the Cortex Group. Every Cortex group member contact the forums/groups/boards on their list (he will be know as the forum/group/board's "Handler" and inform them of the formation of the group, and invite them to assign one contact person per forum/group/board to liase with the Cortex group.

Once that is established, every forum/group/board can make a list of projects/plans they are busy with, and give it through to their representative. That representative can then contact his Handler, and then convey the list of projects to that Handler.

The Handler will then convey that info back to the Cortex Group.

In the Group, all the different forum/group/board's plans will then be added together on one "master list".

Each Handler then takes a copy of that Master list back to the forum/group/board representative, who can then post it or share with his members.

Pretty soon, people will see that they are duplicating efforts and they can then contact other groups, doing the same as them and strenghten their efforts. Or attracth interested members.

It will also be a quick and efficient way of spreading once piece of information.

Lets say, somewhere in the future, we all want to send one of the BDH's a Happy Birthday, or we want to send a specific letter to a specific unnamed TV network en masse The word is sent out over the network. People will then have the option to take part or not.

It's not a chainletter. It's a mega post.

Just my two cents worth.

Hear, Hear!!

Good idea. I would like to see us have all those links posted on one page on the net so fans could find all the sites.

Also I still worry about us preaching to the converted. I would love more ways of reaching out to the uninitiated. Yes, sharing with friends and family works but it is a sloooow process.

Ideas (so far) with the most chance of reaching the Firefly-deficient are:

1)Getting the Collector's Edition to the top of Amazon's ranking by purchasing in a concerted effort. (I think this would best be served by purchasing over the course of a two week period and attempting to keep Serenity in the top 5 the whole time)

2)Topping a poll that has a large mainstream audience ie BBC in order to pique people's interest. (This requires that the Poll be reported on in the mainstream press, however.)

3)Press coverage of charity screenings of Serenity.

4)Press coverage of Serenity/Firefly in space.

In other words, IMO, it all boils down to press coverage. What the "cortex group," blogs, newsletters, web sites would allow is for us fans to make concerted efforts in these areas.

Thus, we need to get all the disparate areas working efficiently together as soon as possible in order to support those efforts already ongoing and get up and running any other efforts deemed important as quickly as possible.

Wow, I just reread this post. Boooring! I need to reread King Harry's St. Crispin Day's Speech.

For he to-day that spends his money with me
Shall be my brother;...

And those uninitiated now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon great Firely's part
