Dear Elisabeth,

You-tube is banned in Pakistan, as you know already. Would it be possible for the SuSanA administration to put the presentations in USB and, mail the USB to me?

Dear all,

I am so happy that the second day of the SuSanA meeting was filmed (as I couldn't attend myself), and I have now added all the individual times to the post above so that you can jump straight into that part of the meeting that interests you the most.

The footage from Day 2 is provided in 3 videos of more than hour duration each, which is perhaps not as good as individual clips but it was easier and faster to upload it that way.

Now with the exact timings you can still easily find what you are interested in.

For example here you can view and listen to Trevor's presentation on the new SuSanA website at 1:13:00 - click on the blue hyperlink below:

Trevor at 1:13:00 for Trevor Surridge (GIZ, Germany): Launch of the New SuSanA Website

And here you can listen to Arno speak about the SuSanA Discussion Forum and where it is heading at 1:40:54:

Arno at 1:40:54 for Arno Rosemarin (SEI, Sweden): Update on SuSanA Discussion Forum

I think this video footage is excellent and gives a good impression of what was discussed. I know it's quite long but I can recommend listening to it like it's a radio podcast while doing a task that doesn't require much thinking or while doing the ironing, cleaning up the room etc. That's how I did it.

Thanks so much to the SuSanA secretariat and SEI for financing this (whoever paid for the film crew)!

If you have any questions about anything that was talked about in the SuSanA meeting, please put them here. I believe the minutes are also forthcoming and will soon be here:

Dear all,

If you have some minutes (or hours) to spare on your Saturday today, be sure to watch Day 2 of the SuSanA meeting on this live stream over the internet which is on right now:
susana.org/en/events/susana-meetings/201...ing-stockholm-sweden

I am watching it as I type this. It's working very nicely, with very good sound and picture (at least for me with a fast internet connection).

You can also follow on twitter by following the hashtag #18susana.

Greetings,
Elisabeth

I have enjoyed reading some impressions on Twitter from the first day of the SuSanA Meeting, mainly by David Crosweller (Whereever the Need NGO). The short brisk statements on twitter help to get an impression on what was discussed and presented.

It is however important that the tweets include the agreed hashtag which is #18susana.

David used #susana in his tweets but that is not specific enough.
You can see his tweets here:
twitter.com/wtnUK

There were also some from Madeleine:
twitter.com/MadeleineFogde

and Vishvanath (impressive number of nearly 5000 followers):
twitter.com/zenrainman

and Katja Bessenova
twitter.com/KatjaBessonova

I hope to see more tweets tomorrow on Day 2 of the SuSanA Meeting. Make sure you include the hashtag #18susana.

I think the most important tweets should become part of the meeting minutes, especially if they contain an opinion or assessment or statement, as they are the most interesting.

It's all part of the social media outreach of SuSanA.

Greetings,
Elisabeth

Dear Shobana,

You mentioned an App called Twub - how is this different from using Twitter in the normal way by following the hashtag #18susana?

Note for all: the first day of the 18th SuSanA meeting starts today in 2.5 hours. I have copied the agenda below (from here: susana.org/images/documents/04-meetings/...t-12_20140825(3).pdf).

If you are on Twitter this afternoon, you could follow it and ask question by using the hashtag #18susana. It looks like an interesting afternoon!
