Building community in your area? Check out the newly-launched Community Organizers Handbook! Everything you need to start and grow a NetSquared Local group or any other community-powered program.
For 23 years, TechSoup Global has been working to build networks—networks of organizations that need technology support, networks of corporations that are willing to donate their products, networks of funders interested in building the capacity of civil society, and networks of technical volunteers. In the last six years, we have built two formal networks—one of more than 24,000 on-the-ground technology activists via our NetSquared initiative; and the other of capacity-building organizations, capable of delivering technology solutions to other NGOs in 35 countries around the world.
The hunt continues for finding contributors for our project, but being one of the winners sure does help. Our corporate malfeasance wiki, Crocodyl.org has attracted a large number of qualified and interested people, so reaching out to those folks has been really useful.
We have one contributor who works for Mozilla, some people from Wikileaks and a couple of avid Wikipedians with expert technical know-how, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that these folks will join up officially soon.
Anyone interested in helping out, please contact me at ian [at] corpwatch.org. Thanks!
