Here's a reminder that omidyar.net will be archived on Friday, September 7.
Beginning September 7, you'll still be able to:
- view workspaces, discussions, personal news, and profiles
- search
and until December 31, 2007 you can:
- edit the “About Me” section of your profile in case you want to update your contact information
- download your personal archive and group archives
- request and receive a new password
Beginning September 7, you WON'T be able to:
- add or edit workspaces, discussions or comments
- edit any other profile information such as Personal links or location - except for the "About Me" section
- change the status of your content under Creative Commons license (edit: this is the same as the CCAL30 status on your profile.)
- give ratings
- tag items
- see who’s online
- create new groups
- send PMs
BEFORE September 7 you might want to:
- if you are the owner of a group set to be read by members only, change the setting to make sure the content will be visible
- also for group owners: update the info in your group’s homepage to reflect where your group may be active in the future
- test the Personal links on your profile – (many are broken because people have used the full url instead of only the user name on del.icio.us and flickr)
- check out and sign up for a destination on the Where We’re Going page
- reach out to people with whom you want to stay connected and establish alternate contact methods
- if you want to be contacted then put contact info in your profile - here are some ideas about how to list contact info without attracting spam
What happens after Dec. 31st, 2007
- you won't be able to edit even the "About Me" profile section and won't be able to download archives
- since members won't be able to log in after 2007, the groups still configured to be read by members only will disappear on December 31, 2007
- other content will be readable until at least until the end of March 2009
Check the Transition homepage and the Transition FAQ for more information.
Thanks!

Can a person change the CCAL30 status on their profile page after Sept 7?
No, they can't change it. I'll edit the post to try to be clearer.
And it's really "as of" rather than "after" September 7.

If you're going to be making changes to your profile, make sure you do not wait until Friday, September 7 to do so, as we'll be taking the site off-line the morning (Pacific Time) of Sept 7 for a short time to remove the functionality.
Best to get your work done no later than midnight, September 6, 2007.

I just heard Matt (the co-founder of Kiva, and o/net member) and Grace Ayaa (LiA member, o/net member and Ned board member) where both on the Oprah show. Pretty neat.
Just an FYI Kiva is more of a microfinance platform that it is a social network. But it is GREAT!
