RoseNet - The people and the technology               
   
The RoseNet website is the product of  many people's efforts . Members (ever-changing) of the RoseNet Technology Committee have planned the evolution of a website which is only one part of a project aimed at bringing the advantages and efficiencies of computer technology to all residents of Madison. RoseNet webmasters past and current, are: Frank Benedict, Hans Friedli, Scott Sawyer, Harriet Ritter and Bill Medico.  Technology committee chairs have been Woody Kerkeslager, Ed Rebholz, and currently Sue Carter.
         The components of the RoseNet website, the categories you see on the left-side menu, have their own webmasters who work to keep each site current and interesting.  Those websites have acknowledgements listed at their respective locations.
          RoseNet is more than a website.  It’s a volunteer community project aimed at bringing the efficiencies of technology to everyone in Madison.  Based at the Madison Public Library, the RoseNet project also provides free access to computers and the internet. The computers are located inside the adult section and are available during library hours.  They’re part of a planned effort to assure that any Madison library member can come in and use reasonably current computer equipment for any legitimate purpose.  This resource is used by individuals and groups who are learning about computers and the internet from scratch, or by those who find it convenient to do computer work in a quiet environment. 
        RoseNet will continue to grow and expand its services to the residents of Madison.  It is technology meant to serve people of all ages, as well as local businesses, non-profit organizations, schools, and government.  Most of all, RoseNet works to strengthen our community by bringing information and communication within everyone’s reach.
