ATTENTION: New Google+ Community invitation posted

[Myoku]

Hello everyone,

if you have been a member of the Treeleaf Google+ Community before you should have gotten an invitation to the ***NEW*** Treeleaf community

1) Why do we need a new "Google+ Community" ?

By the time we created the first community we set it up as public (because at that time "public" meant people outside the community can find the community. It not meant everyone can join our hangouts). Google a few weeks ago decided that "pubic" also needs to mean everyone can join your hangout. As our frequent sitters know this lead to some surprising visitors during our zazen.
The "new" community is "private", thus no one can join our hangouts but your fellow treeleafers who are also in the community.

2) Where is the invitation ?

Depending on your settings at Google+ you may have gotten it via email, as sms on your phone or it may appear in your stream at Google+, or any mixture of these. if you not got it or accidentally deleted it, please proceed as described in 4) below.


3) Has this change being discussed before ?

yep, here:

4) I've not being a g+ community member before, but want become one

You can apply for being included here

https://plus.google.com/communities/111790218127851430086

Please also pm me here at treeleaf (Menu Forum / Private Messages / Send new Message) including your Google+ Username so I can approve you.

To "apply" and to be "approved" is only a formal act, making sure that we not add anyone from outside treeleaf.

Feel free to post any questions in this thread.

Thanks Myoku.
Will the old community be killed off? Should I delete it or leave it?

Also, there are times the Unsui need to fill in for Jundo or Taigu. Will we be administrators of the new community, so that we can start Hangouts in the community when we need to?

Again, many thanks.

Good evening Myozan,

Thanks Myoku.

I would keep it for a couple of days until most people went over to the new one. I will delete the old one then, so you dont have to remember.

Also, there are times the Unsui need to fill in for Jundo or Taigu. Will we be administrators of the new community, so that we can start Hangouts in the community when we need to?

Again, many thanks.

The new community is created like the old one, the Google user "Treeleaf Sangha" owns them both. As you are one of the Managers you should be able to administrate the new community as well.

Everyone in the new community can start hangouts and invite the community. And no one else, I hope
