My name is Alice-Marie Archer, and I am a working on a collaborative thesis towards a masters in 'Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability' at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden. My peers (Rong Fei, Rebecca Petzel), and I are exploring how collaborative innovation networks can contribute to transformational change towards a sustainable society.
This research builds on an initial inquiry undertaken by NESTA (UK), Beyond Zero (UK) and innovation design student Ed Murfitt into the collaborative potential of the web for social innovations. We are working with this group, currently known as the collaboration ninjas, to build a living, on-going web based resource (ad-interim site: http://collaborationninja.wordpress.com/) to provide strategic and practical guidance for people interested in utilizing this potential for environmental and social innovations. So this is a notification of the collaboration ninja project and a request for assistance in maximising the potential of the resource by making is user friendly and open: (http://collaborationninja.wordpress.com/improve-this-website/). Please help us to make this a really useful and dynamic resource! We are looking for people, to help us overhaul this resource, replacing it with a CMS (Plone or Drupal or something) with a KISS (Keep-it-simple-stupid) user interface supporting a forum, space for people to interact and collaborate on content a bit (we want the whole site to be pretty open and easy to use), and a really easy way for administrators to alter the look and feel of the site. We also want people to contribute their experiences and insights into e-collaboration, so that we can be better collaborators. If you would like to be involved please email me: [email protected] -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/collaborative-innovation-networks%3A-Plone-help-tp2408606p2408606.html Sent from the Non-profits & NGOs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ NGO mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/ngo
