Technology Category

The Technology Category is the place in the TIAA Forum for action-oriented discussions about AA technology work. If something is on the calendar, in progress, or actively seeking support, this is where the conversation belongs.

Use this category to coordinate upcoming technology events, share scheduling and logistics details, and post volunteer recruiting or help-wanted notices for activities that are defined and ready to move forward. Working group updates, service opportunities for planned events, and “how to” discussions for things currently underway all fit here. Status reports on recently completed work are welcome too.

Examples of good topics for this category include:

  • Notices about upcoming technology events or activities
  • Scheduling and logistics for things already on the calendar
  • Volunteer organizing and recruiting for active projects
  • Service opportunities connected to a planned event
  • How-to guidance for something in progress
  • Working group activities and updates
  • Status updates on work being done or just completed

If a project is still in the concept stage, lacks commitment, or is not yet ready for action, please use the General Category to develop the idea first. Moving a discussion into the Technology Category when the work is ready helps keep this space focused and useful for members who are ready to contribute.

Many topics will generate threads here that never reach the calendar — and that is fine. The goal is to keep discussions grounded in action rather than exploration.

Instructions for Completing this Form

Name:

The name you use here is not verified and only used to control for spam and bot submissions. It will not be tied to your account. You can create and edit a profile disclosing the account name and information you wish to expose to the community (not publicly visible outside the forum) when and after you join.

Email:

Email where the invitation to join will be sent. This will also become a secondary way of logging in or recovering your password. We recommend a personal email address (e.g. your_name@example.com) instead of a “positional” email address (e.g. webmaster@your_intergroup.org) unless you intend for you membership to rotate with the person holding the position in the future. This email address can be changed after you join if you wish to change it by editing your profile information.

Affirmation:

By the group conscience of the members, this forum is only open to members of AA and those non-members of AA supporting AA services (e.g. Intergroup offices, AA service structure, etc.).

Topic Interests:

If you are interested in conversations in more than one  technical topic area (e.g. web sites, answering services, virtual meetings, etc.) or have a general curiosity about AA discussions in general (e.g. topics above and beyond technology like committees and group dynamics), you would probably want to select the default “General” option.

If your primary interest is in Archives only, you probably want to select the “Archives” option. Note that with either option, you will still have access to all topics on the forum but with the “Archives” option, your “home screen” will automatically place you in the “Archives” category where most of those conversations happen.
