We want the information, ideas, resources, and discussions from SLATE meetings to be available publicly online. Following-up on the success of the the SLATE 11 Conference Blog, we've established this similar media blog for SLATE at media.slategroup.org to make it as easy as possible for SLATE members to share photos, videos, notes, handouts, and reflections from SLATE meetings. We plan to then aggregate some of the "best posts" on this media blog to include on the main SLATE Group Blog.
We've set up this blog to receive emailed submissions. It's a site created with Posterous, a blogging platform that accepts posts via email. Posts don't have to be just text. Attach images, audio, video, or documents to the email message and Posterous will post it in a web-friendly format.
SLATE Group members can send an email to slatemedia@posterous.com. The subject of the email becomes the blog post's title, so please include descriptive subjects. Include your name in the body of the post along with what you want to say. Add any photos or files and send it off. After the post passes through moderation, it will be published for the world to see. The best of the SLATE Media Blog will be featured on the main SLATE Group Blog.
The best part is that media.slategroup.org will be a great place to experience sessions that you aren't able to attend in person. If you use news reader, you can subscribe using this web feed. Alternatively, you can sign up to receive daily updates through email.

If submitting blog posts:
- Please proofread and edit before submitting.
- Write descriptive subjects. Since the subject is the title, please capitalize accordingly.
- Be mindful of file size when submitting video. Videos longer than a couple minutes are sometimes too large to attach.
- Email each submission just once. It won't show up on the blog until it is approved, which should be within 2 hours.
- Optionally include your email, Twitter, Facebook, blog, or any other URLs so people may contact you.
- Presenters are encourage to submit and include their handouts and/or slideshows.
- The blog automatically generates a photo gallery when you attach multiple images in your email.
- Remember, include your name in your submission. The email address you send from will not appear anywhere in your post.
