Summary
Paul, and co. (Mark, Kyle, Katie and Opalyn) continue their grand overview of the empire, covering the upcoming
rocket mass heater and permaculture Jamborees as well as the state of the site.
There’s a lot of work to be done on the
Rocket Mass Heater Jamboree, but designs are being made including for Bartell’s Bunkhouse. Only 8 spots left (at time of speaking), so if you want to sign up, be quick!
About 80% of traffic that comes to Permies.com comes from google, and for whatever reason that has fallen by 40%. With a seasoned search engine optimization guy, fixing this would probably take two weeks, but there’s no-one with such expertise on hand and fixing it without them would likely take 6 months. Thanks, google. On a more positive note for the site, there’s now a more efficient
BB approval method for anyone that wants to help approve BBs - just press the BB button on the top of the page next to the search bar. Furthermore, there’s improvements coming to image management and a new mobile/desktop look in an effort to make a responsive design - link to the feedback
thread below.
In spite of the heat, the feedback from the PTJ this year was very good and plans are being made to ensure that next year’s events are even better. For example, Paul wants the leader-to-newbie ratio to be closer to 1:4, so he’s going to be setting up more BB20 events to get more people more
experience, and then offer them leader roles in the PTJ. Final items on Paul’s list is to get more
boots up at bootcamp to just get everything working properly, and to infect a billion more brains, with the discussion on how to do that turning towards ticktock videos.
