My name is Stephen Lee, and I am an independent consultant with a focus at the intersection of sustainable development, technology, and entrepreneurship. I spent the last several years as the operations director of AIDG, an international NGO supporting clean tech entrepreneurs in Guatemala and Haiti.  Prior to that, I was a proud member of the Techsoup Global team! Currently, I'm building a new organization, called the Alterna Foundation, to support locally-driven innovation and entrepreneurship in underserved communities throughout the world.

My priorities include learning how best to mobilize resources around accelerating community-based innovation, and what the role of technology is, not just as a resource in itself, but also as a tool in developing the ecosystem.

Greetings Net Squared Community,

SCHAP is introducing our first exclusive preview into a revolutionary concept of wikiSCHAP.  Below is a sneak peak behind the scenes preview into what is coming next.  SCHAP is taking International Program Development to a whole new level and is looking for citizens who are interested and excited about becoming a Global Citizen.  Global Citizens have a interest in what is happening around the world and would like to become part of an international team.

As you know, we’re currently competing in Netsquared’s Mashup Challenge competition with our project, “Assetmap.org/Uganda”

What if you could present virtually any data easily on the web? So easily that your average nonprofit employee could just upload a data file and have all the technical details worked out for them?

Generate crime maps to talk about why the police need to spend time in your neighborhood.

Zack Rosen shows us how its done today:

Pretty easy, but not quite to the level of simplicity to be useful to tens of thousands of organizations. This is the type of ease of use we are seeking to build into CivicSpace On Deamand-- hide all the Drupal power and complexity.
