This is a topic to place benchmark forum discussions to in hopes to attract new members.
A short summary of discussion or topic intent has been posted with main link to locate.
Thanks goes to tahanson43206, for suggesting a Recruiting Section for NewMars Forum:
While we encourage out of the box thinking we also need those that can run the calculations too in order to solve the issues that are presented.
Several initiatives are underway, and opportunities exist for volunteers with appropriate education, skills, talent, motivation and generosity of spirit:
We are striving to make the site a productive forum for garnering people to mars though discusion. We are developing Mars Society or NewMars mission or charter statement to allow for the sustainability of the forum that has been funded and provided by The Mars Society,
Lets use this engineering art, the knowledge of the 50 plus club as a introduction area for what area of expertise one might have to bring to a topic.
1) kbd512 recently initiated a proposal to launch a passenger carrying vehicle from Earth using US Navy style electromagnetic acceleration
electromagnetic launch with microwave propulsion
2) Calliban has been working for some time on an outreach goal of capturing/mining an asteroid. Recent activity includes cocoon wrapping.
Colonizing / terraforming small asteroids
2a) other possible destinations Near Earth Object (NEO) missions
There are many rocks that come as well as go to target inside mars orbit and beyond mars as well.
3) Calliban has also proposed the use of electromagnetic acceleration of mass from the Moon. This is NOT the Gerard O'Neill mass launcher.
Un-conventional ways to LEO
4) tahanson43206 with the My Hacienda, set up to encourage up to 2750 forum members to build a virtual business community to launch and provide a self sufficient plot with a trade business as plots established in Sagan City (2018). Each participant "claims" a square kilometer of surface, and shares below surface with the community, in the economy of a thriving interdependent free market, to provide at least one product or service for others to purchase.
My Hacienda On Mars
4a) possible test site location Testing My Hacienda On Mars Society Devon Island
4b) another possible site to test Testing My Hacienda on Svalbard Islands
Other plausible locations are probable for setting up a self sustainable colony using a drop of resources and just communication to make everything that one needs to survive as if they just landed on mars.

Re: Recruiting expertise for NewMars Forum topics:
NewMarsMember@gmail.com portal is open for business.
There was/were no incoming traffic item(s) at the Portal this morning. No outgoing message(s) was/were sent.
Occasionally vendors send updates on software or new features on offer. That WAS NOT the case today. NewMarsMember has opened an account to try Microsoft Azure using a free 1 year trial. The purpose of the account is to provide a place for upgrade of the FluxBB software currently running the forum, thanks to the generous support of the Mars Society.
Update: With the assistance of ChatGPT4, the installation of a working LAMP system into an empty Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine is complete.
In related news, a test phpBB3 site is available for NewMars Admins and members to evaluate. Use http://40.75.112.55/phpBB3/index.php
In related news, a clone of ** this ** site is ready for use for testing:
http://40.75.122.55/forums/FluxBB/index.php
Dropbox is offering to increase free disk storage to 16 Gb in return for enlisting friends to use Dropbox.
That is a hefty increase from current 2 Gb. If a NewMars member decides to open a DropBox account please let us know so we can apply for the offer of increased storage.
Google announced that they have extended their policy on inactive accounts. Now they will wait two years before deleting an account.
NewMars.com is back online after an unscheduled outage for extended maintenance. Work is under way to maintain the site.
An Email Outreach campaign to former NewMars members is on hold. One member will be reviewed per day, for 3+ years.
Recordings of the 25th Anniversary Mars Society Conference are now available on YouTube.
We are happy to welcome former members back into the active community. It has been brought to my attention that a number of former members are marked as "banned". In many cases, this marking is a limitation of FluxBB, which is the forum software.
Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures to apply for membership. Mention specific assistance you wish to provide.
***
We have 18,370 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members.
A quality assurance run is finished, to find any posts not accessible upon lookup.
Current stopping point is 222000 - the next scan will be run at 223000
Current active post on phpBB3 is 77
Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures to apply for membership. Mention specific assistance you wish to provide.
For existing registered members who have lost your password ... If you remember the email address you used to register, you can request a recovery email at that address. If you no longer have the email available (as could happen over 20+ years) just write to NewMarsMember@gmail.com email address. Your request will be forwarded to SpaceNut, who has the tools available to assist as needed.
For all ... we really ** are ** looking for members who want to make a difference by helping others with projects, or providing leadership on new projects. We have a ready supply of folks who can and will make comments and offer suggestions. We don't need more folks in that specialty. We ** do ** need folks who can and ** will ** help project leaders already trying to achieve something in the real world.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Because of the onslaught of thousands upon thousands of spammers over 20+ years, the decision was made to close off access to inactive accounts. Unfortunately, the only mechanism available is the "banning" tool. If you are an older member and you find your account has been banned, it may have been locked to prevent hacker access. You can ask SpaceNut to reactivate the account. See the procedure below. Those who were banned for inappropriate behavior may also apply. SpaceNut will then have the opportunity to evaluate your application.
Read Post #2 of this topic for procedures to apply for membership. Mention specific assistance you wish to provide.

We have 18,370 freshly refurbished User Id's ready for new members.
A quality assurance run is finished, to find any posts not accessible upon lookup.
Current stopping point is 222000 - the next scan will be run at 223000

For existing registered members who have lost your password ... If you remember the email address you used to register, you can request a recovery email at that address. If you no longer have the email available (as could happen over 20+ years) just write to NewMarsMember@gmail.com email address. Your request will be forwarded to SpaceNut, who has the tools available to assist as needed.
For all ... we really ** are ** looking for members who want to make a difference by helping others with projects, or providing leadership on new projects. We have a ready supply of folks who can and will make comments and offer suggestions. We don't need more folks in that specialty. We ** do ** need folks who can and ** will ** help project leaders already trying to achieve something in the real world.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

The purpose of the account is to provide a place for upgrade of the FluxBB software currently running the forum, thanks to the generous support of the Mars Society.
Today's email was from Microsoft, about a new feature of Azure.
Update: With the assistance of ChatGPT4, the installation of a working LAMP system into an empty Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine is complete. The package is working, with active links to the Apache test page, and the PHP information display. Loading the database is complete. We are ready for a test of the updated forum software. The Apache index.html was simplified to point to the list topic test script.
In related news, a small script to perform updates of the database was installed and tested with success. The installation is ready for a forum package, if one becomes available. An attempt to install phpBB3 is complete, and the test web site is running. The site is starting with a clean database, for testing purposes. The test phpBB3 site is available for NewMars Admins and members to evaluate.
