Re: FIRST Objective

Hey thanks for the suggestions. There are a lot of things that are "out of date", however I had always hoped that FIRST Objective would build a community of users that would help provide up-to-date content. There is no way that I can provide all the content myself, however I can provide a platform where the community can provide it.

The videos, map, calendar, forums, blogs, etc., are all there for the FIRST Objective community to add content to. A place for ALL teams to help more schools get involved in FIRST. I had always envisioned the FIRST Objective community to be keeping the site up-to-date, and my role would be to promote the site to schools, politicians and other officials needing to know about FIRST.

I had hoped to organize a "video of the month" contest, that users would vote on their favorite video. I also suggested that teams create videos out of their Chairman's Award presentations, and guess what. FIRST is now wanting videos submitted with the CA entry.

Thanks again for any and all suggestions. If you are interested in providing content to the site, whether it is just a marker on the map, or a video, or a blog post, please take a minute and sign up. It's free, I have no sponsors, I make no money from the site, actually it costs me money. I send no spam, only a newsletter when I get around to it.

Thanks for your time,
