Johannesburg, South Africa - First Net2 Event Next Week
Netsquared Jozi will be held once every two months in Johannesburg. These gatherings provide a networking and collaboration opportunity for all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change, whether you are part of a non-profit organisation or a for-profit organisation, a funder or a consultant, a developer or an entrepreneur. The first Netsquared Jozi meetup will be held on 14 July 2009.
July Net2 Think Tank: Evolution of Community Engagement
The July Net2 Think Tank hopes to provide an opportunity to look at some of the changes in our organizations, our messages, and even our strategies because of the impact of social media. We know that the Internet in general, and social technologies especially, have greatly impacted the way social benefit organizations do their work. You can participate in the Net2 Think Tank by blogging your answer to the topic below - all submissions will be republished at the end of the month.
Video-power, Action in Burma, Digital Democracy, and the two degrees of NPTech separation
This post is ultimately about the role technology plays in Burma-centered human rights action, the bulk of which is carried by a conversation with U.S. Campaign for Burma
board member Nickie Sekera. Bear with me, however, as the rambling preamble touches on how relatively small and intimate the nonprofit/activist tech world is.
NetSquared Redesign: The Search for a New Home[page]
We are working on a redesign of the NetSquared platform. With feedback from the Community and even from ourselves, we have put together a big list of wishes and needs. After some great redesign mockups, we are ready to invite the Community back into the conversation to help us continue the process. (Learn more about the redesign here.) Today, we're focusing in on the home page!
NetSquared Redesign: A Community-Driven Remodel
NetSquared is the online landing pad for social changemakers leveraging technology for social change. Over the last four years, we have hacked and gutted the various Drupal modules that make up the online NetSquared experience to provide users with easy ways to connect to useful tools and each other.
Translating Community Input Into Insight
During the N2Y4 Mobile Challenge, we created a feedback form for users to evaluate the Voting process but also the site in general. More than 100 people weighed-in with their views and reviews, and someone even stepped up to help create some design concepts! (Thanks to Matthew of theCoup!)
