- And then Rena struck the Astrolabe Reef, on 5th October , 2011. That literally opened up the flood gates . By 6th October first video was uploaded by hdactionvid. On Monday 10th Oct I finally set up a separate basket about the Grounding of Rena on the Tauranga memories Kete, to allow the community of Tauranga to upload some of the stories and tons of images that they taking. One of the contributors was a volunteer of the Oiled Wildlife Response [OWR] Unit, who has been recording his dairies about his heartening rescue attempts to save the Penguins and other sea birds devastated by the oil spill right from 7th of October. These items from our Kete got harvested and linked immediately with rest of the formal content that was being created through from News papers and TV, by Digital New Zealand, it created a absolute a goldmine of primary information. It gave an open forum for community to contribute – there are poems, personal memoirs
- And heart rending Digital stories all generated spontaneously. Have a open form like kete helped us harvest this community content
- Use every opportunity to talk to your community about your Kete. Get your Council’s ethnic coordinator or community group leaders involved. Enrol enthusiastic volunteers Keep track of your city/ town’s events through your local newspapers and contact the organisers. Get your museum and Council archives involved. Contact local hobby and art groups or PC and computer clubs. Many of the local artists will love to have a chance to display and publish their work. Get into partnership with your local/ regional newspaper. Talk to the History/ Media dept of your local University or Polytechnic.
