あけましておめでとうございます! Happy new year!
Our site has now been updated and is live with our first skyMEMO of the year. If you have a eTOPOS calendar, you can access the skyMEMO by scanning the January QR code with your mobile device. It is also easily accessed online for all to read, whether you have the calendar or not.
Our new Facebook page has also been launched, so take a visit and click “like” to follow us for updates on new content and general news on the future of community.
We also want to hear from you. We are still considering and developing different ways to engage people in this endeavor — after all, a community is made up of the many, not the few — but our comments sections and Facebook are good places to start. We hope to have a photologue and featured stories published on our blog, among other ideas, so check back for new features and let us know if you have any suggestions.
You may also have noticed that our site is bilingual, in Japanese and English. While eTOPOS hopes to encompass the many qualities of communities in every part of the world, and how both unique and universal they are, many of our projects began as a collaboration among students, professionals, and institutions from the US and Japan. We will do our best to have content in both languages, but apologize if there is a delay in translation. It is our hope that language will not be a barrier to engaging in this conversation.
