GPCA Information Technology Group
The IT group provides support for Green Party web sites, email lists and other technical issues.
Sign up for the new County Contacts list. This is for county councilors and other Greens approved by the council.
Contacting IT
Send a message to it-help@cagreens.org to submit a request for services or technical help. But first, read the IT FAQ
The IT FAQ (frequently asked questions) answers many common questions and provides guidance for using IT resources.
Hosting, Email Addresses, & User Accounts
If you would like to host a web site for an entity of the Green Party, or you would like a cagreens.org email address, you must:
- Have a cagreens "users account" (see User Accounts below); and
- Have authorization from your County Council, committee coordinator, or other such responsible party.
User Accounts
If you need a user account on the cagreens.org network, please fill out the application form and read the terms of agreement.
Email Etiquette
Please use these guidelines to maintain civil and effective online communications.
Lists
These groups of lists are "managed" by IT
Email Lists
A list of Green Party email lists to which you can subscribe is at http://lists.cagreens.org/mailman/listinfo/. These are the lists hosted on Mailman. There are a few other lists on Majordomo that are not included here. Our goal is to move all lists to Mailman. Also, there are a few private lists that are by invitation only and are not listed here.
Broadcast Lists
View the rules and procedures that govern the operation of our broadcast lists, which are the County Contact list and the Updates list. Read these tips on formating your messages for the broadcast lists.
General Discussion List
We have a list called greens-cal-forum where Greens discuss a variety topics in an unmoderated setting.
County Contacts
This is a listing of all the contacts used to compose the official County Contacts list. Instructions for accessing the list archive is also explained on this page. And, you will find a link to the Request Form for adding contacts. That form also describes how the county contact system operates. See also the rules for broadcast lists, above.

Common Password
The GPCA web site has several "internal" pages that require a user ID and password. This is a common ID and password used on all internal pages. This password is changed anually after the first General Assembly of each year.
The ID and password is generally available to all active Greens. This policy provides the details.
Icons and Logos
There is, available for free download, a set of beautiful icons depicting the Green Party's 10 Key Values. Read more about them and use them on your Green Party web site.
The "Leafy-G" logo has been used by the GPCA for many years. Here's a few variations that you can use on your websites
