N2Y2Con: Project Pitches
The first 6 projects got 5 minutes each to give a pitch. Some things that caught my ear:
- Stop Family Violence: "we need to bring web 1.0 to domestic violence centers"; the first step is to connect people in need with the resource
- Genocide Network: "tools to become local leaders"; give em the tools and get out of the way
- Open Source Video: "more than a video player"; open source; addressing the quality of mass media (its poor); "who should control video online?" Should it be corporations?
- Maps 2.0: how many of us have used maps to save lives? how can nonprofits determine what maps solutions are appropriate for the problems they are trying to address?
- YouthAssets: financial model - selling aggregated data. I am not clear to me how this will work

Not just a catch phrase
It is actually not always a common approach. Often leaders want to shape and control social change movements.
Your statement implies your organization has a lot of faith in human nature....that given the right tool people will do the right thing.
