Welcome to the Monthly Meeting! There are some review that we will go over before we go into the new information... Is cure here?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

First of all, in April( 7-12), I will be on a mini vacation and will have cure and Zest helping with the group as Admin..

Zest profile image
Zest

Activity, I have checked the international time for India, and it is currently 19.36. In the UK the current time is 14.07, so it is too early for the meeting... The only time that is correct is your time of 10.07am I think!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

Hold on...

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

It's 8:30 pm in India.

Zest profile image
Zest

So where is everyone?

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

Not sure, but I sent a note to some of them. One is doing surgery.

Zest profile image
Zest in reply to Activity2004

I checked the times on the internet - they give international times. I know it's only 2.15pm in the UK now! Really - I think it's too early for the meeting to start...! lol :-)

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

Working on it. They're up.

I am here

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

Okay.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

As I was saying, I will be away for a few days in April and I want Zest, anup and suramo to help with the spam control and also Zest will help cure be the second Admin. while I'm away.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Zest will help report if there is any spam.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Activity2004 profile image

Any questions so far?

Zest profile image
Zest

No questions so far, but if you could please PM me your exact dates you'd like cover for, that would be very helpful for me. Thanks. :-)

Zest profile image
Zest

Do you mind if I ask you, Hidden what the time is in India just now?

20.01 now

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

Converts to?

8 pm here

Was told that meeting is at 8.30 pm

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

Right, but the time change here is still 10 am for the meeting. How does it work in India?

Zest profile image
Zest

That is 8pm, isn't it - so that means the people in India aren't anticipating this meeting to start for another 30 minutes. As you told them 8.30pm, and now it's only 8pm. It is 14.35 in UK now, which means any UK people won't be anticipating the start for another approx 30 minutes...

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

I will send you another note in a minute.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

It's sent!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Do we want to wait for a little while? The others need to know the important updates.

Zest profile image
Zest in reply to Activity2004

Yes, I think we should wait - because it's important for everyone to hear the updates. :-) Good idea. :-)

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

Great!

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

Activity2004Administrator

If everyone is here, we can talk about the spam issues and a few other new issues that I have been wanting to talk to everyone about recently.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

For starters, there has been some spam still that needs to be taken care of and removed.

As for some of the new information, we will try a new system for postings. Each person who has a posting that is very informative, we will use badges/stars. This will start next week.

Hello everyone :)

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Luckysugar

Welcome!

The next new information is dealing with the group and getting a Facebook page set up. Is anyone interested in having this being done? If so, I can set up the page and use the same name as what is on HU and add HU as a link for Facebook and do the same on HU for the other way around. Is alwaysoptimistic here?

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply to Activity2004

Is it necessary to put up DI on Facebook?

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to Luckysugar

well I think thru FB we can reach to more ppl and membership may increase further...

Luckysugar do u think any bad side to create FB page??

Luckysugar profile image
Luckysugar in reply to cure

If you aim for increased numbers of membership that would be a good idea. However, I do think improving the quality of the forum especially sensibly responding to each members inquiries.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to Luckysugar

Yes Luckysugar ...after introduction of Activity2004 as admin of this group...now group has became lot peaceful place....

cure profile image

I'm trying to catch up on our New Members List as fast as I can. Will work on it later this weekend. I know we have a lot of new members.

Presence in FB and Twitter could be done

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to

Twitter will have to wait. I don't have a Twitter account. Plus, we would need permission to get an account set up for Twitter. Facebook was okay'd already.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

We can have a poll set up on the poll section and see how many want FB.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to Activity2004

Great Idea...

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator

If we do have a Facebook page, we have maybe two choices as far as what type of page we want to use. Community or Company/Org.. I would go for the Community personally.

cure profile image
cureAdministrator

May I request Zest to give her brief introduction to other members...plz...

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to cure

Go ahead! Zest, are you still here?

Zest profile image
Zest in reply to cure

Hello everyone,

I have been a member of Healthunlocked since January 2013, and have mainly contributed to the NHS weight loss site and then more recently to the Healthy Eating community, and I have been an Administrator in both communities, so have experience of that role.

I have known Activity2004 for some time, and she has asked me to help out with Admin whilst she is on holiday in April, and I am pleased to help - and will hope to support the existing Admins and Volunteers within the Diabetes India community, and I hope that I will be of help during that time.

Zest :-)

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to Zest

Thank you for saying that, Zest ! I know you can do it!

Zest profile image
Zest in reply to Activity2004

I will do my best to be of help. :-)

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to Zest

Great Zest I think we all will be benefited with your knowledge about weight loss...

Weight loss is the key to control Diabetes...

Okay, if there's nothing else to say, meeting over! Next meeting next month after I get back from vacation!

Sorry everyone!

I was out of network coverage area of my internet service provider.

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to alwaysoptimistic

It's okay!

bhanjois72 profile image
bhanjois72

did it require a meeting to say all this?

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to bhanjois72

of course bhanjois72

HU can take such decision one sided....

But it is great on part of our admin that she is taking poll and trying to understand the feelings of all members...

Further it is great initiative to interact with all active members of forum to understand feelings and problems faced by them... it is very important to understand discuss and communicate the suggestions made by active members to HU..

Such activity never happened in past....DI never had such active admin...

After understanding the motive of meeting....Hope next time you will also contribute..

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004Administrator in reply to cure

Perfectly said, cure ! Thank you!

bhanjois72 profile image
bhanjois72 in reply to cure

your explanation is unconvincing.The fact that your colleague will be on a holiday and you, zest,anup,suramo will look after her work could have been posted on the site..Further tech question by one respondent was just not answered..i am not clear the purpose of meeting

cure profile image
cureAdministrator in reply to bhanjois72

well....you may go thru the agenda of the meeting which was submitted earlier on the forum...

bhanjois72 profile image
bhanjois72

My comments are made after seeing the agenda .Agenda2 created confusion.Suramo felt he is under attack and asked always optimistic if he wants to include his name.Anup put question mark on this agenda.If you still feel agenda spelt out the intention of meeting,hats off to you.
