community media

We're starting to do some configuration in CiviCRM on our CM-site.

I'm wondering if there are any agreed upon configurations or best practices in the CM / Civi world.

In particular I am wondering:

Do you create new CONTACT TYPES in Civi?

What kind of GROUPS are you creating?

How are you using TAGS?

How do you prevent your CiviMail from landing in SPAM folders?

Thanks,
Jason

I know that at least some of the folks on this group of community media practitioners are also Telvue users who chose Telvue because of the lead role they took in users in smart, open solution for community media.

In a couple of weeks at the Alliance for Community Media Northeast Regional Conference (in Plymouth, MA) http://www.acm-ne.org there will be a Telvue Users Meetup on Nov. 1 from 12 - 1:30pm.

I am concerned about:

No roadmap or deadline for Internet Archive integration

2pm est. Readytalk
Present: Drew Frazier, Stefan Wray, Emily Frazier, Jason Daniels, Jay Haven

A lot of discussion focused on a funding consortium or other structure that could be put in place for shared development costs.

Large and midsize stations are much better suited to take the lead on this (MNN, SPNN, channelAustin )

Midsize and smaller stations may be able to set aside a line item for this - but then do not have the staff resources to implement/document/test. Can it work for them?

There is now a way to sign up for the

Is anyone down south of 128, west of 24, south 95 - ish?

I'm located down in Easton, Massachusetts and doing some work with Drupal 7 and community media. Some of the adjacent communities are as well.

Are there any deep south of Boston meetups?
