BRAINSTORM - What’s possible for the next generation of IPS Journal?

[PalmBossTampa]

https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/topic/82089-data-base-for-the-journal/

This thread touched on parts of what I've thought would be a good discussion for the new year.

I come here as a new guy to the societies (couple years) but 20 years ago I first germinated Canary Island Date palms in an unused reptile tank in a closet. Hit the hobby brakes with baby twins  I am 55 this year and have teenagers so always looking ahead. Thinking of advancing the hobby for the next generations that we wish to care for our mature palms.  The Palms Journal may have outlived its life as a paper -borne identity but it’s evolved a little bit. Time for the next steps sooner or later right?  I was on social media only for business purposes and wishing to cheerlead for palms and found no ‘Palm Tree Day”. I tried on my own on March 26 for 4 years in a row until IPS announced in 2023 International Palm Tree Day.  I abandoned my efforts as this caught my attention and sparked my joining the crew here (as well as CFPACS and South Florida Palm Society). I hope my mission sparked someone in the IPS.  Hopefully this discussion can advance how this wealth of information over decades can be usefully spread to anyone who wants to follow this interest. It would honor the folks who took the time to travel, research, and document their findings.  I personally listen to a lot of podcasts so I’ll start with one idea of having podcasts created which can either be individual travel type episodes or compilations where parts of topics are merged from over decades to create some really inventive and engaging content. 

I grew up preinternet and iPhone but certainly love their use in improving our lives. Certainly there are tools to help get this done?  I look forward to sharing my energy and enthusiasm where my skills can help, 

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Hello Pete -- Could you check the link you included at the top of your message? I tried it a few times and it leads to the profile page for Phoenikakias, not a discussion. If you could link the actual discussion it would help in understanding the main focus of your message. 

As for podcasts -- it's not quite that, but look up the International Palm Society on YouTube where you will find several excellent recordings of webcasts.

I need a good tutorial from @kinzyjr  here’s which post

Naive me didn’t initially think of intellectual property legalities, by-laws of the orginization etc.   Just would be great for the expansion of palm knowledge to better release whats been learned into modern media world 

IPS site on YouTube doesn’t include many of the webinars that CFPACS has linked so they  are hard to find. This may end up being a good source of revenue for preservation ?

@PalmBossTampa It does look like you might have gotten the link for the poster rather than the thread.  I took the liberty to correct it in your post.

All: For the podcasts mentioned, we've linked them on the CFPACS site on our Publications page: 

https://cfpacs.com/org/palmateer/

The Webinar I did back in February 2021 is the third link down IPS Webinar - A Blank Slate to Flourishing Palm Garden.  All of them were great from my point of view, but some of them are not searchable.  In addition to webinars, all of the CFPACS publications back to 1990 are posted for everyone to enjoy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @kinzyjr! Shouldn't more of these be on the IPS website? I was surprised I couldn't find the webinars there. Maybe they are there and I just didn't find them?

I think I was able to search the site after I logged in and find these webinars, but it took me a while to dig them all up.  I had some of the URLs in my email since I attended them.  A few of them are unlisted on the IPS channel on YouTube.  Mine was one of them, possibly because I'm not a credentialed expert.
