Registration and some other stuff
by Godwin ! 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Hey folks, the new registration process in almost ready and Graham has been helping to test however it would be great to get some more feedback and suggestions for copy changes before getting the content translated into French and Spanish. You can view the screen captures once logged into the workbench<https://workbench.bikecollectives.org/> here: https://workbench.bikecollectives.org/apps/bikebike/pages/conferences/regis…. You can also test the process itself on the preview server here: https://preview-en.bikebike.org/ Feel free to create fake accounts, you can create as many as you like by inserting '+anything' before your email address' @ symbol. For example I might use goodgodwin+test1(a)hotmail.com, or goodgodwin+somethingelse(a)hotmail.com, any emails I get will be sent to goodgodwin(a)hotmail.com. A few things to keep in mind: * PayPal payments are set up and will charge your account if you make one * Admin tools need some updates, don't expect these to work right now but they will be working by the time you need to use them * Questions are different depending on your answers, for example, you will be asked if you can house attendees but not be asked if you need housing if you enter your location as Winnipeg Feel free to email me feedback, discuss it here, or comment on the workbench. If you feel like making copy changes you can also do this on the workbench in the English translations or just send me the changes that you'd like to see. Front page * Can we get an updated image for the poster? The one on the site is low resolution and fairly grainy. * The language on the description contains several obscenities. Although most attendees wouldn't bat an eye at this I would suggest modifying this as there will be people of all ages and faiths that may attend and may be offended by this language. In addition, there will be people travelling internationally and the language may make the conference appear less legitimate to border security or organizations helping to fund travel. * When can we expect to get a Spanish translation for the conference description? I can help by contacting Spanish translators if you need help with this * I plan to break up the conference description into more sections so that we can reduce the content on the front page and make extended details available on the conference details page. Does anyone have any issues with this? Regarding English copy, would it be better for me to work one-on-one with someone? Would someone like to volunteer to do this? Cheers! Godwin

Funds for Bike!Bike! in Winnipeg?
by The Wrench 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Hi folks, Hope you've all had a chance to recover well from Bike!Bike! and are settling into the usual busyness that is life in community bike shops! We're slowly getting things organized on our end for next year's B!B!, and are starting to sort some things, including getting leftover funds from you. I am on the finance committee and have been tasked with figuring out how to do this with you. I can discuss all of the details in this group email format, or if it makes more sense to figure this out with one or two of you about this, please let me know who you are! Thanks! Benita Benita Kliewer, Program Director The *W*innipeg *R*epair *E*ducation '*N*' *C*ycling *H*ub 1057 Logan Ave., Winnipeg, MB www.thewrench.ca *204-296-3389*

B!B! 2017 Page
by Godwin ! 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hey folks, I have set up the 2017 page and added Geoff and Camille as administrators. It's not visible yet but you can start editing the description, add dates, upload a poster, etc. The way I set it up is by organization, so I added the Wrench and the Dump but I wasn't sure if any other orgs will be involved and I wasn't absolutely sure who is with which org. Geoff and Camille, when you get a chance can you add others that will need access to administration? If we need to add new orgs I will still need to do that manually so just let me know, otherwise you can add administrators who are not associated with one of the orgs. To access the administration, just log in, you should see a link to it on your settings page as well as the conferences page. To add administrators, from the conferences page or the conference info page click "Administrate" then "Administrators and Organizations". Whenever you're ready to make it show up on the front page just let me know. We can make it live without the poster and dates but we should probably at least have the description ready before then. Let me know when things become confusing, I'll walk you through it and use that feedback to help make it less confusing. Cheers, godwin

Update to 34 Cents: Postcard Campaign to Stop Trump at the Electoral College
by Josh Bisker 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

More than one hundred people have used the 34 Cents templates: pitch in now so we can reach every Electoral College member with a personal message to save the country! We only need 39 electors to block Trump — and one has already joined the fight (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) . That's 38 left to go. The vote is on December 19. Your postcard could make the difference. Pop-up stations are easy and fun. People want to help! Download everything you need to get started in the Community Kit! Here's our table near a firehouse. Every voice right now counts! Join the effort in just two easy steps: 1) Print the Elector Postcard Home Kit (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) .* Choose a template, add your message, affix a photo and stamp, and mail it to an elector. Do it with friends! You can also use your own postcards :) 2) Print the Elector Postcard Community Kit (http://facebook.us14.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b9…) ** and Address List (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) and hit your street corner, school, church, office break room, business, house party, or transit stop with a pop-up. People love to be part of this kind of action! Ask people to write messages on the backs of the cards and draw pictures on the fronts; you can also glue them to postcards from your hometown, or use a polaroid camera like this one.*** Add messages that positively appeal to the electors. Remember: most people who voted for Trump probably wanted to help the country! Yes, it’s a grotesquely perverted result, but also a genuine motivation. Appeal to the electors’ sense of patriotism, responsibility, honor, saviorhood, faith, and duty: save the country, protect me, be an American and stand up for what's right. Ask them to be the hero this story needs. This is a Hail Mary play -- i.e., a long shot with the chance to save the world. It's like sending our X-wings against the Death Star: our actions may be small, but we pack enough power to change absolutely everything. Start here with us here, and together we’ll keep on transforming fear and anguish into the tools we need to shift the status quo. - Josh, Anna, Greg, Stephan, Joe, Ashlie, and millions of Americans * Remember: postcards need to be on slightly thick paper for USPS to send them. We recommend printing on card stock; you can also glue your card to a photo but be sure you think it's 'postcard thickness. ** Print double-sided and select the option to flip on the short edge. *** Our costs were out-of-pocket, but it feels worthwhile, and many people give us small donations that help off-set them. http://facebook.us14.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b9… Share #34Cents (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) http://facebook.us14.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b9… http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2FcsXoLL Tweet #34Cents (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91… http%3A%2F%2Feepurl.com%2FcsXoLL) http://us14.forward-to-friend1.com/forward?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b917&id=5… Forward (http://us14.forward-to-friend1.com/forward?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b917&id=5…) ============================================================ ** (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) ** (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) ** (http://facebook.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c4a4170955ba019a0a5e6b91…) Copyright © 2016 Stop Trump Postcard Campaign, All rights reserved.

#34Cents: A Postcard Campaign to Stop Trump at the Electoral College
by Josh Bisker 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

I’m reaching out with a serious request. Join the battle to stop Donald Trump by mailing *a personal message to Electoral College members* using these postcard templates my team and I created. Together, let's convince the electors to back the popular vote and protect the country from an irresponsible leader. *We only need 39 electors* to block Trump — and one has already joined the fight <https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/05/faithless-electors-republic…>. That's 38 left to go. The vote is on December 19. *Your postcard could make the difference.* Attached is a printable template <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwS4PppXseTEMEk4bm45SC1oWk0> plus a pop-up kit it to get other people involved <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwS4PppXseTENkRVU3NEeEhKNFk>. Last weekend we used the kit to gather *one hundred postcards in one hour* to send to the electors. Every voice right now counts! Instructions below. Join the effort in just three actions: 1. Print the Elector Postcard Home Kit <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwS4PppXseTEMEk4bm45SC1oWk0>. Choose a template, add your message, affix a photo and stamp, and mail it to an elector. Do it with friends! (Remember: postcards need to be on slightly thick paper for USPS to send them. We recommend printing on card stock; you can also glue your card to a photo but be sure you think it's 'postcard thickness.') 2. Print the Elector Postcard Community Kit <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwS4PppXseTEYVBvd3hSTFgtOG8> and Address List <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwS4PppXseTEdW5BTzl1bGgtMjA> and hit your street corner, school, church, office break room, business, house party, or transit stop! Print double-sided and select the option to flip on the short edge. (Again, print on card stock.) At your pop-up, ask people to write messages on the backs and draw pictures on the fronts, or else glue them to picture postcards from your hometown. We used a *portable photo printer *to personalize them: this Polaroid ZIP one <https://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-Mobile-Printer-Printing-Technology/dp/B00ZP…> worked like a charm. *One hundred people wrote cards and took photos* in just one hour!* 3. Add messages that *positively* appeal to the electors. Remember: most of the people who voted for Trump probably did it because they want to *help* the country! It’s a grotesquely perverted result, but also a genuine motivation. Appeal to the electors’ sense of patriotism, responsibility, honor, saviorhood, faith, and duty: *save the country, protect me, be an American and stand up for what's right. *Ask them to be the hero this story needs. This is a "Hail Mary" play -- i.e., a long shot with the chance to save the world. It's like sending our X-wings against the Death Star: our actions may be small, but we pack enough power to change absolutely everything. The vote is on December 19. Let's get these in the mail pronto! Start here with us here, and together we’ll keep on transforming fear and anguish into the tools we need to shift the status quo. - Josh, Anna, Greg, Joe, Ashlie, and millions of Americans * The costs were out-of-pocket, but it felt worthwhile; you can probably set up a donation jar to make the money back, too. If you’re reading this and have disposable income, consider covering someone else's printing and paper costs. I'll be helping coordinate some pop-up events this weekend.

BikeBike Debriefing & Volunteer Appreciation
by Heather Nugen 03 Nov '16

03 Nov '16

Hey Guys, We should schedule a debriefing meeting pretty soon, and it'd be cool if we also did a little volunteer appreciation at the same time (or probably shortly after). I'm thinking cass cafe's upper level-- or I could host at my home-- whichever folks prefer. When are you free for an evening meeting & mild party? Heather

Mexico Scholarships
by Christina Peltier 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hi all, Is there someone in Winnipeg who is going to take over the Mexico scholarships? Jim will still organize from Mexico City. If anyone has questions, I can help. *How it worked last Bike!Bike!* The majority of the funds came from Sacramento ($1,000 USD), AIMS Vancouver ($800 CDN), and Bike Sauce ($2,000 CDN). Bike Sauce ran a separate Bike Build on Friday nights with 80% of the proceeds going to the fund. Bike Sauce will not be able to persuade its membership to support in the same capacity but many Sauciers will donate as individuals. I am not sure what Sacramento or AIMS- Vancouver did to raise funds but I can share their contact information. We could encourage other shops to take the lead and start similar fundraisers. It only takes a few to make a difference but an early start is essential. The rest of the funds were generated with a GoFundme Campaign and shared on facebook with Bike!Bike! and on multiple Detroit ride pages. Donations came from both BikeBike participants and Detroiters. Funds were received by Back Alley Bikes as they have charity status and did not have to pay taxes. Funds were than transferred to Jim in Mexico City. Jim created an application process for recipients and distributed the funds. Let me know if you have any questions or how I can help. Regards, -- Christina Peltier Bike Sauce Toronto
