Social+Media+Outreach

Since much of our work will be done in a virtual environment with many participants being involved primarily through a wiki site and conference call participation, there will be a critical need to remain engaged with participants and interested parties as much as possible.

Thus, we have decided to use social media tools to enhance our outreach and engagement with all interested parties to the S&I Framework and its activities. We will be using two primary methods to increase our outreach on S&I Framework harmonization:

1. Blog updates
You can follow the S&I Framework harmonization blog at The S&I Framework Harmonization Blog. At this blog, we will be focused on providing regular updates on our progress, and will also provide a forum to discuss many of the challenges and issues we may encounter throughout standards harmonization. This will include regular posts from the S&I Framework Harmonization Lead, Erik Pupo, and guest contributions from other S&I Framework participants.

Participants should not view this as a replacement for regular interaction through the S&I Framework wiki site but as a supplemental tool for communication and outreach.

2. Twitter updates
We will be using the **#siframework** hashtag to send out regular updates to the community on activities and progress. This will include Tweets from our S&I Framework Twitter account ([|@siframework]) to a wide variety of stakeholders already involved in the Twitter universe.

Regular blog updates will be summarized below .....
