Google for Non-Profit Migration – Local Seneschals please review.

The Webministry has asked, they have been patient, they have reminded, yet, they still do not have the required information from the following groups:

Distant Shore

Forestgate

Frosted Hills

Hadchester

Ivyeinrust

Northern Outpost

Rusted Woodlands

Seashire

Smithwick

Basingestoches

 

The following groups need to complete their information:

Hartshorn-dale

Lyndhaven

Stonemarche

 

I have instructed the Kingdom Chronicler to only publish official email addresses in the Regnum of next month’s Pikestaff.  East Kingdom Law requires officers of the East Kingdom and their deputies to use their officially-provided online account for all business of their Office. If your group does not have official email addresses, your group will be in violation of East Kingdom Law and will be suspended.

Please make sure that all of the required information is sent to the Webministry immediately.

Thank you.

East Kingdom Seneschal

badge Webminister“Greetings once again from the Webministry of the East Kingdom!

It’s been a while since my last update on the migration of the mail services of the Kingdom to Google for Non-Profits, and much has happened in the interim. By the end of January 40 of 61 branches will be migrated, along with 7 entire Kingdom Offices out of 11.

Problem is we have nothing more to do. We still need responses to our request for information, as Her Majesty also pointed out a couple days ago. Please, if you are the Seneschal of a branch who has not already responded with a spreadsheet, we need that as soon as you can manage.

Also, it has been pointed out that the instructions that we are emailing out when your new accounts are created are not sufficient. Here’s what we have:

FAQ:

Accessing Your East Kingdom Email:

How to reset your password:

Setting your From: Address:

AND… literally all the documentation we have:

That includes how Webministers will need to handle these accounts and addresses moving forward, how to hand off an office (and all of that office’s email!) to a successor, how to use email clients other than GMail’s app, mailing lists, and some tips on advanced email handling in GMail.

Many, many hours have been put into writing these documents by actual professional technical writers, please read them, we’re fairly sure they will answer every question you might have.

In Service,
Joel Messerer
East Kingdom Deputy Webminister for Services”

Greetings again from the Webministry of the Kingdom of the East!

We made a big push to try and get half of the branches within the Kingdom migrated over to Google for Nonprofits before the end of the year. The schedule is locked in, and sadly we are going to miss that target by 2. However, we’re going to manage to have 5 1/2 Kingdom Offices moved over as well, and our original target by 12/31 was not to have started those yet at all. So out of 62 branches, 11 Kingdom Offices, 3 event sites, and 9 guilds, we will have moved 29 branches and 5.5 Kingdom Offices. (Yes, a previous post said 67 branches. We realized that 5 of them were inactive.) Continue reading →
