Welcome to the Church IT Podcast Wiki
What's the Church IT Podcast? Purpose/Mission/Who's involved
Basically, this podcast was started to network church IT staff and volunteers giving us a place to talk about tools, tips, best practices, etc as it relates to technology in the church.
When is it?
Currently we "meet" online and on the phone every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month at 2pm Eastern CHANGED TO 10PM Eastern!
How can I listen to past podcasts?
Use the media player over in the left column or follow this link to our talkshoe page where you can listen to past episodes on demand, download MP3s, or download/subscribe via iTunes.
How can I participate in future discussions?
It's easy to join the discussion ... just pick up your phone a few minutes before 10pm and dial (724) 444-7444 and enter the talkshoe ID# of 6983. That's it.
Of course for the full experience you'll want to install the talkshoe client so you can engage in the online chat room as well as voice dialog. Once you have the client installed, a few minutes before 10pm go to our talkshoe page and click the "join in" button. This will launch the talkshoe client with instructions on how to phone in as well.
Are there any post-recording notes?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no As of 1/15/2008, YES!... All shows have been transcribed! Check out the post-show pages http://citpodcast.wiki.zoho.com/sitemap.zhtml
What can I do to help the podcast grow/improve?
* Help spread the word that this resource is available to other church IT staff and volunteers.
* Actively participate in the live discussions ... we're all here to learn from each other. Ask questions, give input. This is for peer to peer learning.
* Help cleanup the post-show notes. We now have someone transcribing each show, but she isn't as familiar with our jargon nor does she know all the time who's talking. We could use your help in making sure the transcription is as accurate as possible.
