FIX IT NEWSLETTER June, 2008
Discover Our Actions So Far Despite RL, bouts of ill-health and internet access problems the initial brainstorming phase has yielded some great results. Spurred by a wonderful suggestion offered by Northwind, our first action will be the launch of a WEBSITE meant to help Jacks & Ennises find information useful to cope with the situations they are confronted with in their various countries. MiniAngel actually spotted a researcher in an Australian university who identified the need for information for isolated gay people, especially in rural areas, and wrote to her.http://bbmfoundation.org/forum/index.php?topic=19.msg238#msg238 Annie Proulx talked about J&E as uninformed young men http://bbmfoundation.org/forum/index.php?topic=33.msg361#msg361 so hopefully she will like the direction we are going. We plan to write to her to ask permission to use the BBM name. This website idea is very exciting because it can be set up without major financial input, and since specialist knowledge is not indispensable, it is quite feasible for us dedicated Brokies to volunteer some of our time to collect relevant information. Mountain Mouse has kindly provided pointers on how to proceed on the Ideas thread Threads are now open for the countries represented so far by members of the forum where you can post links, information and news that could be useful for the future website. They are called One-stop-shop website + country name. Feel free to add more as required, and post to your hearts content. The original One-stop-shop website thread will be used for all general discussions regarding the future website.
