MQ Web Committee Meeting Minutes 1/12/2014
Members present: Cara Johnson, Otto Piechowski, Joe Groves, Jim Fritz, John Mitchell, Tony Kernan, and Edward Shuman.
Meeting started out with prayer lead by John Mitchell.
The scripture verse John 1:29 – 34 was discussed.
Jim Fritz updated the group on his progress of finding pages that don’t currently meet our style guide. Jim is going to continue searching the website and letting us know which pages don’t meet the style guide. It was mentioned some of the current ones reside in the parish life section. Tony is going to update the parish life section, to make sure all the pages agree with the style guide. Tony also agreed to fix the Boy Scouts page by moving the Cub Scout’s information to the Cub Scouts page.
John updated the website to include the Conquest Boys group under the formation section of the website. John is currently still working with Cara to approve the Religious Formation and Education section on the website.
Joe reported he updated the banner on the youth page, but didn’t like the way it turned out. Edward offered to help make a better banner for the youth’s webpage.
Tony reported that things are going well with the digital bulletin board.
Otto voiced his proposal of wanting to start posting his articles on MQ’s website or Facebook page.
Concerns were raised about having to watch for inappropriate comments being posted about the articles. It was also voiced that the articles could be easily plagiarized from Facebook or the website.
An additional suggestion was made, that the articles could be placed on a blog website and then just liked from MQ’s website. The group was unsure of how the article would be best represented (Facebook, website, or a blog). Suggestions were continually made that Jennifer Longworth would be a great contact to get suggestions on using Facebook or a blog for Otto’s articles. She could also provide insight on how to deal with inappropriate comments being posted about the articles. Jennifer currently maintains MQ’s Facebook page and has her own blog site. The group agreed to table any decision of proceeding with Otto’s proposal. Otto requested that all of his articles be read fully, before the body proceeds with accepting his proposal.
The group agreed to postpone on deciding the next meeting date, until Joe is able to contact Jennifer Longworth. The group is going to have Jennifer attend the next meeting, so she can help advise the group on which way may be best to present Otto’s articles.
John closed the meeting with prayer.
