My TOWN HALL FOR TOMORROW HAS BEEN MOVED UP TO 9

Hi guys...I originally had this scheduled for 10 but they asked late today that I move it up to 9.  Aggravating as it overlaps with the conference call and they're a good group.    If I can steal away I will.

Guam Town Hall 5/18/2011, Dededo, Guam

Today I held a town hall in Dededo that was attended by 8 individual, (one had to leave early) and collected 7 surveys.

They breezed through almost every question except to note that they had no idea what their internet speed was.

Attached is the attendance sheet.  On the blog is a short video for documentation.

Quotes for Written Survey Printing

Hi Guys -

Ok...best price seems to be $108 for 200 sets (double-sided) and $180 for 400 sets.  Pretty good, I'd say.

Once we get the copies, I will schedule groups (some leftover from our post-poned townhalls) to administer the survey and identify those who can return 1 or 2 additional. 

I know I've asked before - sorry Colin! - but the last version is THE version right?  Don't want to print a wrong one.

How was Saipan?

Hi Gents -

I've sent an email to measurement lab that reads as follows:

Hello - I'm working with one-Economy on Guam on the broadband mapping project.  Do you have code for a simple link that I could distribute for folks to take the speed test?  I don't want to guide them to the measurementlab website.  I just want to be able to embed the test on various sites. 

Thank you.

Their site is too confusing to distribute to the Guam audience.  So I'm hoping they have some sort of easy code they can come up with so I can embed a button.

Fingers crossed.

Hey Dan, 
Greetings from Saipan.  We've been having some issues with the speed test of late so can you go to www.measurementlab.net to check if it works for you before you start distributing it on a large scale?  If it works, then proceed as planned, but if not, let us know and we'll talk to our friends at new america about getting it fixed.

I'll be expecting the invoice and will submit it Monday when we're back in the office as it requires a physical signature and I don't have access to a scanner in Saipan.

Pastries here don't seem to be as good.  We found some sticky buns and some churros but nothing like Buchi Buchi.  I'll keep you posted if anything good turns up!

I've made (FINALLY) connections with the Mayor's council and they have promised to include me in their next meeting of mayors to introduce the survey to them and also the Good4Guam (speed Test) site.

I've also, ALSO FINALLY, gotten to key mentors at the Guam DOEducation, and will be doing the same.

So for the next few days I will be developing the speed test site so tha we can work out the kinks.  When we're good, I will spend time massaging key talk radio people to see if we can't "launch" it.  At the same time I will be working with agencies to have their people participate too - generally blanket as much as I can with first round networking.
