There's no going back now on diaspora yatra. If we are dreaming of people actually starting to use diaspora (which I wasn't actually dreaming for a while), it should get some attention on newspapers, radios, local tv channels, social media, messaging apps, etc.
The thing with India is, if it grows over a critical mass, it will explode like a nuclear bomb. So, all we need to do is reach that mass.
Let's pour in ideas and find people to execute them.

@anandj can you add the Facebook page to the site? Instructions to update the site is available on the contact section. For each event we have to create an RSVP option via Facebook and WordPress. @balasankarchelamat is working on WordPress events site. Make all posters and designs available on the site as well as share them via social media accounts.

Currently our tagline goes like this,
"Social media empowers revolution. This revolution empowers social media."
I think the second part should be democracy or society.
Social media empowers revolution. This revolution keeps democracy from crumbling.
Social Media is just a tool and I think our stress should be on democracy and society.
Suggest other taglines. @akshay , @vik , @adambp , @vishnuprakash1 , @shyambalakrishnan , @balasankarchelamat , @anandj comments?

"Social media empowers revolution. This revolution empowers society." would seem a clear choice to me.
I agree the emphasis should be on society. Other options for the verb in the 2nd part could be:
"Social media empowers revolution. This revolution inspires society." or
"Social media empowers revolution. This revolution reinforces society." or
"Social media empowers revolution. This revolution defends society."
Another twist gives:
"Social media empowers revolution. Democratic revolution empowers society."
We can iterate...

sorry to hijack this thread, but I have started a logo change proposal here: https://www.loomio.org/d/kNSzb4sj/diasp-in-a-pod-hosted-in-india.
I am not sure that was the correct thread to start the proposal on - I'm new to using loomio ;)

@vik these kind of decisions that affects the collective as a whole should go to Initial Members sub group. That is our bootstrap group to set initial direction and policy. As we grow more people will gain voting rights once they start contributing significantly.

@praveenarimbrathod you may need to steer me on how to do that!

@sugeesh @anisha can you print some more stickers and send it to each coordinator? Lets make more of diaspora and diaspora yatra stickers. Add diasporafoundation.org and yatra.diasporafoundation.org as well, in bold and using a thick font. Stcikers are very popular and make a lasting impression.

@akshay can you prepare a blog post for diaspora official blog marking 7 days of the campaign.
It is unfortunate we did not publish even a single press release yet and there was no effort to reach out to media. Even social media updates are zero.
