EcoTuesday Website

Client: 
EcoTuesday

EcoTuesday is a social venture startup that needed a website to tell its story, connect members to one another, and make it easy for participants to sign up for events.

We began our engagement with a detailed discussion of strategy to determine the priority of features, as well a solution to meet the future needs of a growing organization. Open source tools were the preference of the client, which aligned with their core value of sustainability.

About EcoTuesday

EcoTuesday is a networking event for sustainable business leaders. Every event features a 20-minute keynote by an industry thought–leader, followed by the hallmark "Introduction Circle" where all participants have an opportunity to share about their about passions to find like-minded collaborators. Events take place nationwide, currently in 9 cities, on the fourth Tuesday of every month.

Utilizing the model of growing by having local ambassadors start new events, EcoTuesday supports collaboration and the incubation of great ideas by connecting inspired people with others who are similarly-focused on creating a more sustainable world. Making connections is what EcoTuesday all about.

DrupalconSF Interviews: "The Nature of Open Source Is About Sharing "

I interviewed DrupalconSF attendees at Hayes Valley Farm to learn about the connections between open source and urban agriculture, and what they'd like to see on the next redesign of the Hayes Valley Farm website.

Sharing Our Client Questionnaire for Website Development

A thread began a few days ago on the Drupal Consultants list regarding Client Questionnaires. Not long ago, Ian and I went through our own Client Questionnaire with the intention of supporting a client with a new project. In the end we simplified our original laundry list of questions to this much shorter and refined list, more pertinent to her specific project.

PolicyOptions.org Pilot Site Development

As part of its pilot, the PolicyOption.org initiative used a wiki (see http://policyoptions.pbworks.com) where college students researched issue briefs as a start for their network of local community think tanks.

About PolicyOptions.org Initiative

The Policy Options Initiative seeks to establish a network of local community think tanks that will make policy information, news, and research available on websites, weekly email news updates, and research. These community think tanks will feature local, state, and national policy news and analysis on topics of local interest that draw upon policies and program models from around the country and world.  

The goal of the
PolicyOptions.org is to fill an important gap in our public life: the availability of accurate, balanced, comprehensive information and analysis about the issues that we care about and hope to impact through public policy and civic engagement. We believe that this information is critical to informed citizen action in shaping policy and planning program improvements.

They will tap the underutilized research capacity of institutions of higher education to create local and state level community think tanks, which will be housed in participating college or university public policy or community outreach centers or institutes. These locally-focused bureaus will be linked through an affiliate structure to cover state issues and to a central national office that will cover national and international policy and program activity.

Idealist.org Builds a Network and a Brand

Idealist.org just hatched a campaign to create a decentralized and adaptable network of idealists. Within the first few days of launch, people from over 140 countries have signed up. For what? Well, I'm not quite sure, and Idealist.org isn't either. This is a network experiment and, as they explain on their site, it will transparently evolve with feedback from the participants.

idealist logoIn addition to its activist merit, the campaign is an example of an ingenious brand-building strategy. Idealist.org's website offers the standard features for sharing the idealist logo on social networking sites and forwarding to friends. More significantly, however, participants conflate a personal attribute and the organization's name as one and the same. Strong brand names offer that kind of potential. I'm an idealist, are you?

I'm part of another decentralized network of idealists: CivicActions. Decentralization provides CivicActions with strategic advantages; the organization can quickly tap local technological and cultural trends, work with the best talent in the world, and communicate with a global audience. I'm a CivicActioner, are you? We love to partner with smart, idealistic organizations and individuals. Contact us and let's get the conversation started.
