June 2008 Update

Written by Anabel on June 20, 2008 – 1:07 PM -

Our thanks and appreciation to Ms. Maridel Olandesca for sending us a lot of photos. It will be displayed at the pictures gallery as soon as it is ready.

I- WEBSITE UPDATE

Before I left for Sapian in May, the administrators viewed the website’s statistic. It showed that eventhough people are not posting, we have a lot of traffic. People are reading especially the news items, the articles, and the most popular ones are the photos.

It is a little disheartening to see that Sapianons are not posting but I would like to think that it has nothing to do with indifference. I believe it has more to do with the culture. This is a little hard to explain so I will just leave it at that. What is important is that people are still obviously interested. 

To those who got my grip about the culture thing, this is what I want to say. If you are still caught up in that, how long are we going to wait for you to overcome that? One may say: “ahhh, I’m too shy to participate”, or “ahhh, I’m too busy”, but please don’t say “ahhh, is that all they can do?.” Alfonso, Civic and I, did the best we can and will do more. What we want to see is for more supporters to come forward and help out.

We now live in the global world, let us shake off the negative culture that doesn’t serve us anymore. SOL will continue whether you help us or not. But we can accomplish much, much more if more people make an effort to contribute.       

When I came back from Sapian, I got a lot of news information with me. I have talked to few people in Sapian that could help us improve the content of the website. I left 2 digital cameras there so we can have more photos. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to digitise all these and we have no working bees in the website. There is a need for us to get organised and share the workload.

I PROPOSE TO FORM COMMITTEES, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Send an email to sapianonline@yahoo.com.

Please don’t be shy, WE NEED YOU!!! Read the rest of this entry »

Sapian Online (SOL) celebrates the New Year with an upgrade. The upgrade renews SOL’s commitment to reconnect Sapianons and, most importantly, affirm that Sapian is part and parcel of the global community.
Only a few New Years ago, the concept of globalization was a faint hum in the academe and Western capitals. Global concept for Sapian was [...]

Messageboard Online

January 1, 2008 – 8:20 PM

The messageboard is now online. I apologize if it looks very different from before. My goal for this version is to integrate every parts of the web site into one.
 In addition, it seems that the guestbook won’t be back. I don’t see why the site needs a guestbook when we already have a messageboard. The [...]

Scheduled Maintenance

December 28, 2007 – 7:58 AM

WHEN: December 31, 2007 - January 1, 2008 (EST)
WHAT:The whole Sapian Online will be down for a scheduled maintenance.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

Sapian Community Network

Sapian Online has a very limited audience. Web citizens comprise less that 3% of the population. If we want to reach and involve the whole of Sapian, we need to branch out. And if we are to make a difference in the lives of common Sapianons, we need strong branches through organized, independent community network.
