South Indian (Kerala, Karnataka) Diaspora Yatra Schedule

@jibujacob the nature of the campaign is debate. We need a place to talk to people. If facilities like projector, whiteboard are available, we will use them. We need volunteers to promote the campaign in every possible way, putting posters, talking to friends, engaging with people on social media, creating posters, pamphlets, videos etc. What can be done is only limited by creativity.

@akshay add this info in about section. Also add a link to diasporafoundation.org

We reach out to schools, colleges and organizations and engage with them on the need of protecting privacy in digital communications.
We use videos, talks, workshops and debates to convey our ideas.

We primarily hold debates, talks, and workshops to convey our ideas. If facilities like projector or whiteboard are available we will use them too but all we really need is a place to talk to people.
We are also looking for volunteers to promote the campaign - by putting posters, talking to friends, engaging with people on social media, creating posters, pamphlets, videos, or anything you can come up with.

The http://yatra.diasporafoundation.org/#contact section currently starts with loomia group. For someone who's new, they'll have to create a loomia account, and ask to join the group, get it cleared by a mod, and then start talking. This might be too big a hurdle. Maybe we should push that a bit down on that section?

Also, the indiegogo link is valid till Dec 31 only?

@akshay ok mention as "join the team conversation" or similar. I think the contact form is easily accessible for new people. The idea of loomio group is to get them involved in the team for sustainable interactions.

There is some initial material for pamphlets at https://codema.in/d/irvpQOFP/diaspora-pamphlet please comment, design and spread. We need volunteers to translate or create similar material in English.

Friends, we are getting very good response in Malappuram, so we are going to spend 3 days there. Accordingly the schedule is pushed by another day in the remaining places. @jibujacob , @renukaprasad @jaisennedumpala , @shyambalakrishnan , @soorajkenoth , @maheshmangalat please note the change in schedule.

@arkarjun there is a spelling mistake, it is "diaspora", otherwise it looks good to me.

Brilliant idea, making the diaspora icon the fan.

Does the underline also have a hidden meaning?

Oops! I shouldnt have made the spelling mistake. @akshay the line indicate the path/road. A fan is the simplest toy, so is our diaspora its simple. The child says even a child can use diaspora without any fuzz.

Shall we go with this ?

@ark yes. Upload svg as well.

I have an opportunity to present a talk at Musaliar college, chirayinkeezhu for their tech fest. Topic was Linux but I had the option to suggest Diapora. Event is called Asthra 2k15. More info on their website http://asthra2k15.in

Sorry about the short notice. I could have really used some stickers. The event is tomorrow.

I will update with the results. Wish me luck.

@fayad great! Let's know how it goes.

I'm still waiting for a confirmation from IIT Chennai before I schedule the remaining sessions. I wanted to cover Chennai just after Bangalore, but it seems not possible.

Thanks @praveenarimbrathod!

All the best. Hope it works out well for you @praveenarimbrathod!

@fayad I'll be going to IIT Chennai on 21st. So I'm back in Kerala with enough time to cover Kasargode and Kannore.

Campaign at Musaliar college went well. It was a mixed crowd. I'll write about it in detail on poddery and share the link here.

@praveenarimbrathod That sounds great :) I will try to join. How is the schedule like.
