2009 Tech Talk: Your Input Wanted

We are beginning to plan the 2009 LDSTech Online Tech Talk. For those of you who were able to participate in the event last year, you will remember that the Inaugural Online Tech Talk was a webcast. Joel Dehlin, the CIO of the ICS department, presented and held a question and answer session with participants. If you are new to LDSTech, weren't able to participate, or would like a refresher, you can listen to or view a recording of the eventhere.

We would like to brand the event with a tag line and we'd like your input!

An example include:

2009 LDSTech Online Tech Talk
For you. With you.

Just post your ideas here.

Thanks!

How about "Every member a developer."

Actually, probably more accurate: "Every geek member a Community developer."

"Discussing the Technology of Zion"

"Technology for a global Church" - only an idea...

Oh, I like this one!!

Connecting the Saints.

Great ideas everyone! Keep them coming.

I like that one.

It actually says a lot. In the early days you had to bring people to one physical place to "gather them" but technology these days ensure it can be done without moving people.

It will be interesting to know the role played by the social-technology into Church related fields. (Forget me, as Italian I'm used to spend many words for a simple idea).
For example. Is acceptable a "tele-home teaching"? If yes, in what case or wich is the "crisp edge" between acceptable and not accecptable? And so on.

You may have misunderstood the exact point of this thread. This wasn't intended to be a place to begin asking questions or suggesting topics for the future Tech Talk. It's actually just a brainstorm of slogans or catch phrases for the Tech Talk (McDanielCA used the phrase "tag line").

marianomarini_vi wrote:If yes, in what case or wich is the "crisp edge" between acceptable and not accecptable? And so on.

The common phrase in English is "fine line." However, I do like the sound of "crisp edge." That must be a direct translation from a common phrase in Italian?

Great question though! And don't worry, you'll have the chance to ask this question again as we get closer to the actual event.

How about "Mormonology Discussion"

I really like these ones (in addition to my own suggestions of course ).

You are all so creative!

This is fun

My mind keeps being drawn back to this exercise. What elements would comprise the ideal tag line for the Tech Talks? Discussion, definitely. And something about building the kingdom/establishing Zion. And since one purpose of the Tech Talks is to promote contribution, that aspect should probably be included as well.

I really like "Discussing the Technology of Zion"--in fact, I think it's my favorite--but wonder how it could include the contribution aspect.

I like the alliteration and crispness of "Converse. Collaborate. Contribute." But it doesn't have a reference to Zion or the kingdom. Maybe that's okay, though, since these are LDS Tech Talks .

Still thinking...

I think "technology of Zion" will land us straight to "Open Source Community" with all its implications.

Kathryn, you are exactly right. We're going for something that immediately makes people know that we are going to be talking technology, learning from one another, and talking about community development.

Thanks, Cassie. So I played around with a few more tag lines ...

2009 LDSTech Online Tech Talk
Advancing Zion's technology through communication and collaboration

2009 LDSTech Online Tech Talk
Conversing and collaborating on the technology of Zion

But I think they might be too long. For a short tag line that still meets the criteria (since "LDS" & "Tech" are mentioned event name), I think I'd go back to "Converse. Collaborate. Contribute."

FWIW,

Very nice. Playing off of your theme, I came up with simply Inspired Technology.

Awesome suggestions! My initial idea was "Where the Church and the community come together."

I like your ideas better!

I like this.

Since I haven't seen an official tag line yet, I'll offer a variation on the connected theme:

"The Technical Gathering of Israel"

...or maybe "The Other Ether Net" ?

Good one

There isn't an official tag line... but we've been using converse, collaborate, contribute.

See it here.

I am impressed. All of these tag lines have been fantastic!
Aside from the current "converse, collaborate, contribute" tag,
My other personal favorite is from splassle:
"2009 LDSTech Online Tech Talk
