From: "jotiorgteam" Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 11:24:10 -0000 Subject: [joti-announce] JOTA/JOTI 2005: another big success

Dear JOTA/JOTI helper,

the 48th JOTA/9th JOTI is over and from my point of view it was another big success. Again this year WOSM Secretary General, Dr. Eduardo Missoni, took part and so showed that JOTA/JOTI is an important event of World Scouting. Within his speech to the participants (you can read it at www.scout.org/) he pointed out that the idea of JOTA/JOTI is - as well as of the World Scout Jamboree camp - to "build friendship" and so become "an apostle...of Peace and goodwill".

From the JOTI perspective: As World JOTI Coordinator I again noticed that the number of participants in the JOTI as well as the countries where participant came from have been increased in IRC as well as in TeamSpeak. Again this year the usage of the services at joti.org have been increased:

All nominated Web-sites that are submitted for this award will be considered if they exhibit the following attributes:

2.Non-Profit - Sites must be not-for-profit efforts. Sites that seek to sell products or services can not be considered.

3.CONTENT! CONTENT! CONTENT! - Please do not nominate a site if it is still in the early stages of construction! Your Unit's name, e-mail address, and links to other people's sites just won't make it! We feel that the inclusion of extensive and / or unique content matter far outweighs elegant design style and borrowed Java Scripts.

4.Service - "Efficiency for service towards others." In the founder's words, the candidate site must provide a Guiding/Scouting-related service to their Unit members and / or families, their communities, or Scouting and Guiding in general.

5.Technical Excellence - This aspect of the award selection process will be a measure of the technical quality of the Web-site i.e. :

Does the look, feel, and content make a user want to bookmark it?


Do references resolve appropriately.

Is the HTML code well written, with minimal errors?

Do 'Hyper-links' resolve as intended.

Use of Frames, Shockwave, ActiveX, and other recent technologies are neither grounds for elimination nor award. What is important though is that, when used, these tools allow a majority of users (i.e. i486+ or PPC, running IE 3+ or Netscape 3+) to successfully navigate the site.

A Final Note

All evaluations are subjective. Different people see different things that they like or dislike.

    The sponsorship request

    Internet Infrastructure Provider = sole/main/joint

    Internet Service Provider = sole/main/joint

    Internet Content Provider = sole/main/joint

    c] I would suggest that we also ask all the school computer clubs to sponsor the JOTI 98 at their troop level. This would benefit more scouts who might not be selected to attend the State-Level camp during the JOTI 98.

    d] I would also suggest that we request the public and private firms/colleges with internet capabilities to sponsor visits and JOTI 98 activities for scouts whose troop sponsors [ schools ] have no internet capabilites.

    sponsorship condition/agreement

    Please email to advise whether your organisation and/or yourself prefer to be the sole/main/joint sponsor

    C 1. Plan the activities for the participants.

    " go through the scout's official homepage, chat and quiz for knowing internet(like last year 1997). Ching Yee "

    " I would suggest that we organise the Computer Badge test for the participants. Please email me the Computer Badge requirement/test.

    Possibly, we could also organise the Information Technology Badge test.

    We could also organise the participants into teams to continuously send and receive scouting information 24 hours a day. It Tee "

    " We could also organise the Internet Scout Patch test for the Scouts and Guides in Penang It Tee "

    " if our budget is adequate, can do it. That means after the participants finish the Joti activities, we will give a "cabaran" badge(for joti section)to them. Ching Yee"

    Please email to JOTI.1998@Penang task force your suggestions for the JOTI events and activities to enhance the participants' scouting/guiding practices, skills and knowledge through the internet.

Let us share our best practices together.

The following article was compiled by Mr CHEW Ching Yee from the World Organisation of Scouting Movement JOTI website for the JOTI 1997 event organised by the Scout Association, Penang, Malaysia.

" In November 1996 the World Scout Committee, noting that Scouting already had a considerable presence on the Internet, and that there was already an informal and rapidly growing Jamboree on the Internet(JOTI), decided that JOTI should become an official international Scouting event, and that it should be held on the same weekend as the Jamboree On The Air.

Introduction

When Scouting was founded in 1907, the concept of Internet was far from the imagination of Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell. So were many other aspects of Scouting today.

While society and scouting have changed over the years, Scouting fundamental principles have essentially stood the test of time and then remain universal for all Scout organizations which are members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

Scouts around the world share much in common and Scouting encourages them to use that mutual understanding as the basic for learning about each other, making friends, and building a better and more peaceful world. The word "Jamboree" is said to have been invented by Lord Baden-Powell as a name for an event which brings Scouts together from around the world. The first World Jamboree was in 1922 and it was a remarkable historic, event bringing together some 8,000 Scouts from 34 countries.

The spirit and drive for Scouts to get together at international events have never diminished and there are hundreds of "International" Scouting events each year.

Getting together does not always require a physical presence. In 1957, the concept of the World Scout Jamboree-on-the-Air (JOTA) was launched and it has been a popular event which today involves more than half-a-million Scouts and Girl Guides who communicate with each other on the third weekend of each October by amateur radio and related technology. In the mid 1990 the means for international electronic communication became available to virtually anyone with a computer.

Scouts have been among the first to use every technological develop-ment to "get together" electronically. The spontaneous and overwhelming involvement of scouts on the Internet is proof that it is a viable way of bringing Scouts together in ways that Lord Baden-Powell probably would have wanted to use to the fullest.
