Communications 'happenings' of interest
EAO and elsewhere: 4th September 2007 -- There just happen to be a number of communications events either touching the region or of interest to the region, at the moment, so it makes sense to put these together.
Cagliero Project website up and running: The Cagliero Project is a recent missionary initiative launched by the Australia-Pacific province, and was announced in an earlier austraLasia (#1926). As of now the project has its own website, which is well worth a visit (though some with narrower bandwidth will struggle to load images). The site is addressed directly to prospective volunteers. www.cagliero.org.au
China Province bilingual newsletter: This is worth a mention because other than AUL and FIN where one expects to see an English language provincial newsletter (paper or digital), other such letters are in local languages. The China Province has opted for a Chinese and an English version. One notes, in the recent edition, the announcement that Fr Paul Leung is back in the Province. Paul spent many, many years in communications in Rome, and was the man behind the earliest server efforts at the Pisana. So one expects that he will be active in the communications area now that he has returned to Hong Kong.
Salesian Family Vocations Web-Gateway: An interesting initiative of the Salesian Family Vocations Team in the UK has been to put up a website which unites all branches of the Salesian Family with web sites, in a very simply 'tree diagram' (literally, a tree!). A kind of localised portal to the Family. A simple but effective idea. The website is in support of another initiative, a flyer.poster which sports the phrase "Without each other we are no longer ourselves". www.thesalesianfamily.co.uk
Digital Virtues taking up the Tango: The concept of 'digital virtues' and of course the content of the book by that name (cf #1915) seems to have taken the fancy of the Latin American zone. Both RIIAL (Red Informatica de la Iglesia America Latina) and CELAM (Latin American Episcopal Conference) have expressed direct interest in it and are busily translating it into Spanish. The author has been invited to take up discussions on its implications at a Colombian Conference on the Ethics of Communication organised by CELAM). www.lulu.com (Digital Virtues); http://www.congresoetica.org/
