We reviewed every other class web site to create a wish-list of features we admired, such as a photo album, blog, and map. A critical feature was the ability to send e-mail messages directly to classmates.<br /> <br /> So we purchased a domain, [http://HR69.org HR69.org]. Then we engaged a web designer, who recommended the Joomla content management system (which other classes have also used) because it is inexpensive and has a number of interesting additions that are also inexpensive. Many developers around the world are writing programs to enhance Joomla and they are making these programs available either free or at low cost. Best of all, Joomla seemed to offer all the features we wanted!<br /> <br /> It was valuable to have a web specialist set up Joomla, because it requires some technical knowledge and the documentation is not comprehensive. Nonetheless, it is fairly easy to add and set up additional features as desired.<br /> <br /> Our site is now live and has the following features: registration subject to approval by webmaster (provided by the Community Builder add-in to Joomla); ability to send mass e-mail to some or all registered users (CBMailing); ability for one registered classmate to send a &quot;blind&quot; e-mail message to another registered classmate; ability to put features behind log-in and thereby restrict access to classmates only; easy-to-use photo and video albums (Expose4); Google map of where classmates live (GMapsPro); and self-moderated discussion area for classmates to post news and announcements (Nice Talk). We also have pages with classmates' creative works such as paintings, photography, songs, and video (AllVideos Reloaded); listings of classmates' publications and web pages (Thumbshots); a calendar of upcoming Class events (EventList Calendar Module); as well as abundant information about past reunions, including full survey reports from the 35th and 40th reunions.<br /> <br /> Before the reunion, the web site had links to the secure reunion registration page (behind post.harvard login) as well as to the on-line reunion survey.<br /> <br /> We joined the Amazon Associates program, so the Class will earn a small referral fee for purchases made after clicking from our web site. The site has links to the Coop for class insignia merchandise and to a photographer for purchasing reunion photos.<br /> <br /> It is easy for the webmaster to create new menu items, edit pages, or add new ones.<br /> <br /> For more information, contact the Class of 1969 webmaster at [mailto:webmaster@HR69.org webmaster@HR69.org].<br /> <br /> <br /> == UPDATE 4/19/2014 ==<br /> <br /> <br /> In anticipation of our 45th Reunion in September 2014, we updated the Class website. We changed host company for better tech support and slightly lower fee, and created a new site based on a free Joomla template from SiteGround. We used the Joomla content management system again because the webmaster was familiar with it and Joomla provided all the features we desired.<br /> <br /> Community Builder now has many improved features including better email and more robust profiles, so additional add-ins were no longer necessary. We chose Kunena Forum instead of the (rarely used) blog we had before. Maps are now provided by Geommunity, which is not free but works beautifully. The one problem was the SiteGround template was not flexible about placement of a global map, so we found NoNumber Modules Anywhere (free!) that allows modules to be placed anywhere, even within an article.<br /> <br /> One big improvement is that every feature has been added via template or plugin or module without further modifications to system files. This should make future updates very easy.</div> BenLevy http://www.haabestpractices.org/wiki/index.php?title=Class_of_1969_case_study&diff=2459 Class of 1969 case study 2014-04-19T17:13:42Z <p>BenLevy: </p> <hr /> <div>The Class of 1969, looking forward to its 40th Reunion in May 2009, decided that it needed many more capabilities than the existing HAA web site offered.

We reviewed every other class web site to create a wish-list of features we admired, such as a photo album, blog, and map. A critical feature was the ability to send e-mail messages directly to classmates.<br /> <br /> So we purchased a domain, [http://HR69.org HR69.org]. Then we engaged a web designer, who recommended the Joomla content management system (which other classes have also used) because it is inexpensive and has a number of interesting additions that are also inexpensive. Many developers around the world are writing programs to enhance Joomla and they are making these programs available either free or at low cost. Best of all, Joomla seemed to offer all the features we wanted!<br /> <br /> It was valuable to have a web specialist set up Joomla, because it requires some technical knowledge and the documentation is not comprehensive. Nonetheless, it is fairly easy to add and set up additional features as desired.<br /> <br /> Our site is now live and has the following features: registration subject to approval by webmaster; ability to send mass e-mail to some or all registered users; ability for one registered classmate to send a &quot;blind&quot; e-mail message to another registered classmate; ability to put features behind log-in and thereby restrict access to classmates only; easy-to-use photo and video albums; Google map of where classmates live; and self-moderated discussion area for classmates to post news and announcements. We also have pages with classmates' creative works such as paintings, photography, songs, and video; listings of classmates' publications and web pages; as well as abundant information about past reunions, including full survey reports from the 35th and 40th reunions.<br /> <br /> Before the reunion, the web site had links to the secure reunion registration page (behind post.harvard login) as well as to the on-line reunion survey.<br /> <br /> We joined the Amazon Associates program, so the Class will earn a small referral fee for purchases made after clicking from our web site. The site has links to the Coop for class insignia merchandise and to a photographer for purchasing reunion photos.<br /> <br /> It is easy for the webmaster to create new menu items, edit pages, or add new ones.<br /> <br /> For more information, contact the Class of 1969 webmaster at [mailto:webmaster@HR69.org webmaster@HR69.org].</div> BenLevy http://www.haabestpractices.org/wiki/index.php?title=Class_of_1969_Case_Study&diff=496 Class of 1969 Case Study 2008-10-19T20:25:30Z <p>BenLevy: </p> <hr /> <div>At the time of our 30th Reunion in 1999, the Reunion Chairs discovered that the Class bank account, which had been opened some years earlier, held the Social Security number of an individual classmate. We determined that this situation needed to be corrected, so in consultation with the HAA, classmates knowledgeable in this area, and Harvard's law firm, we incorporated as a &quot;voluntary association&quot; in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.<br /> <br /> Incorporation required us to write a special constitution, get signatures from class leaders, file papers with the IRS, and open a new bank account. Membership in this corporation would be everyone classified by the Harvard Alumni Records Office as a member of the Class of 1969. An important feature of the constitution was a provision for the disposition of funds when only five classmates remain. We decided that the governing board of this corporation would be called the &quot;Reunion Committee.&quot;<br /> <br /> It was very helpful to have a Class Treasurer who knew what steps needed to be taken, particularly what special forms had to be filed to get a Federal ID number to replace the classmate's Social Security number and to attain tax exempt status.

E. Sisson <br /> To: <br /> Sent: Monday, September 01, 2008 7:00 PM<br /> Subject: IMPORTANT CLASS OF '57 TAILGATE INFO 9/19<br /> <br /> Dear Classmate – <br /> <br /> We are happy with the great response to the Class of ’57 Tailgate party! After 5 PM we will be located at the Webster Field lot which is to the left of the round end of the Stadium after you enter at Gate 6. Look for ‘57 signs. Parking is at the Business School parking lot and garage.<br /> <br /> 1. So that we can purchase the tickets, please send a check for $12.00 per ticket IMMEDIATELY <br /> payable to Harvard Class of 1957 to:<br /> <br /> Wallace Sisson<br /> 278 Adams St.<br /> Milton, MA 02186<br /> <br /> 2. Let us know now if you will want to use a BBQ so that we cam make adequate arrangements. <br /> <br /> 3. The class will provide soft drinks, ice and cups. EVERYTHING ELSE is “BRING YOUR OWN.” If you need seating, consider bringing folding chairs. Unfortunately, we can not supply such amenities. <br /> <br /> 4. Be aware that there is a new rule that if you leave the Stadium area after you have surrendered your ticket, you will need a new ticket to re-enter.<br /> <br /> ******** MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS 617-XXX_XXXX ******<br /> <br /> We look forward to getting together with you at this pre-55th reunion event!<br /> <br /> <br /> Your 2 tickets are in Section 32 (between the 40 and 50 yard lines) and they will be given to you at the tailgate party.<br /> <br /> <br /> This event was attended by over 35 people (25 classmates). The new rule that “once a spectator enters the stadium area, a new ticket is required if one leaves and tries to re-enter the stadium area,” influenced some who wanted to attend. They preferred to purchase from vendors, all of whom were inside the stadium area, before the game. Therefore, they were not permitted to leave and enjoy the tailgate party.</div> BenLevy http://www.haabestpractices.org/wiki/index.php?title=Class_of_1957_case_study&diff=474 Class of 1957 case study 2008-10-12T14:59:22Z <p>BenLevy: </p> <hr /> <div>The Class of 1969, looking forward to its 40th Reunion in May 2009, decided that it needed many more capabilities than the existing HAA web site offered. We reviewed every other class web site to create a wish-list of features we admired, such as a photo album, blog, and map. A critical feature was the ability to send e-mail messages directly to classmates.<br /> <br /> So we purchased a domain, HR69.org. Then we engaged a web designer, who recommended the Joomla content management system (which other classes have also used) because it is inexpensive and has a number of interesting additions that are also inexpensive. Many developers around the world are writing programs to enhance Joomla and they are making these programs available either free or at low cost. Best of all, Joomla seemed to offer all the features we wanted!<br /> <br /> It was valuable to have a web specialist set up Joomla, because it requires some technical knowledge and the documentation is not comprehensive.<br /> <br /> Our site is now live and has the following features: registration subject to approval by webmaster; ability to send mass e-mail to some or all registered users; ability for a classmate to send a &quot;blind&quot; e-mail message to another registered classmate; ability to put features behind log-in and thereby restrict access to classmates only; easy-to-use photo and video albums; Google map of where classmates live; and self-moderated discussion area for classmates to post news and announcements. We also have listings of classmates' publications and web pages, as well as abundant information about the upcoming reunion. We joined the Amazon Associates program, so the Class will earn a small referral fee for purchases made after clicking from our web site. It is easy for the webmaster to create new menu items, edit pages, or add new ones.<br /> <br /> For more information, contact the Class of 1969 webmaster at webmaster@HR69.org.</div> BenLevy http://www.haabestpractices.org/wiki/index.php?title=Class_of_1957_case_study&diff=473 Class of 1957 case study 2008-10-12T14:49:33Z <p>BenLevy: </p> <hr /> <div>The Class of 1969, looking forward to its 40th Reunion in May 2009, decided that it needed many more capabilities than the existing HAA web site offered.
