But we need to make some rules so that such postings don't overwhelm vrf, or cause major annoyance. <o:p></o:p> Here's our first pass at the rules and suggestions. They were prompted by a request from Amplicon and Meilhaus to post the announcement that just appeared. <o:p></o:p> Event Announcer: --------------------- <o:p></o:p> 1) No overt advertising. Vrf is a user group, not a marketplace. Announcements need to be in the group's interest. You can announce the event, including such information as topics and products covered, but do not advertise unrelated products or spam the vrf with advertising. Stick to the facts of the event. <o:p></o:p> 2) Limit of 2 postings per event. We don't want spamming. One reminder posting may follow up an introduction posting explaining what the event is and the attendance details. <o:p></o:p> 3) No large attachments, such as bitmaps, should be included. Some users have slow or limited connections. It is preferred to point to a web site that will include all the event details and any needed downloads, such as registration forms. Remember that many vrf subscribers use a dial-up connection to check email so any emails with large attachments are not preferred. Try to keep below 30KB. <o:p></o:p> 4) If possible, post any related material, such as slides with speaker notes, to a web site or the vrf for those unable to attend. Keep in mind the vrf is an international audience and many members will not be able to attend an event but would appreciate if the material covered could be shared. You may find that you are deluged with requests for more information or material, so be prepared. <o:p></o:p> 5) Agilent does not respond to postings made by others. We have day jobs! Members sending questions to Agilent about an event sponsored by another company will not receive a response from us. <o:p></o:p> 6) Provide reliable contact information for the event. Include contact information for the event in the case that someone has a question. <o:p></o:p> Event Audience: ------------------- <o:p></o:p> 1) If you attend an event and acquire materials, don't post the materials to the vrf. They may be copyrighted. Instead, you could suggest to the event organizer that they make the materials available on the web. No copyright concerns that way, and no huge postings on the vrf, either. <o:p></o:p> 2) Agilent does not respond to questions about an event sponsored by another company. Members sending questions to Agilent about an event sponsored by another company will not receive a response from us. If you have questions about an event contact the person/company hosting the event, or ask on the vrf itself. <o:p></o:p> 3) The event sponsor owns the event information. The sponsor is not obligated to share the information outside the event. If the event sponsor chooses not to share the material, do not spam the event sponsor or vrf with multiple requests for the information or material. <o:p></o:p> If you want to post an event announcement and aren't sure about whether it obeys the rules, send an email to owner-vrf@it.lists.it.agilent.com and we'll help evaluate for you. <o:p></o:p> We will remove postings that don't meet these rules, so please cooperate. But we're also excited at this possible new use of the vrf, so we're looking for good postings and good ideas.
