About Me

Your work looks great and I hope it might be possible to work together
somehow (BARcampBAR.org is one example of how i would love to creatively
enhance your great org:)

www.FREEtraid.org. Who should I talk to about creating Open Space
Cafe's with your organisation?

We are also looking for funding to kick start the production (as we aim
to donate 100% net profit to fund the social enterprise that young
people create within the spaces). Can you suggest any good sources of
funding?
Below are the details. Would it be possible to work with you and DVELO
to enhance your great service?

We have been talking to
http://innovate.direct.gov.uk/
and
http://whowantstobe.co.uk/
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tps/planet-pledge-pyramid
http://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/

about their collaboration models and would love to help others enhance
their great open source software (I understand both sets of software are
open source:)

If it were possible to link this software with the open source
microfinance software people can give/lend money AND give
advice/support/Knowledge (which can be given both ways) AS WELL AS
collaboration between teams to solve different problems in the most
efficient way. The concept is proposed to the Planet Pledge Pyramid here
https://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/idea.php?id=123&_fb_q=1

If this sounds of interest it would be great to use the software to
create a Microfinance collaboration platform that uses this not for
profit / cooperative business model http://www.Traidmark.org where any
surplus funds generated are then invested in NEW Innovative not for
profit enterprise using the same model.

I would love to help anyone interested in this and have just joined your
website community (err and am looking for work so I can creatively
enhance open source projects).

One example is http://ovc.mo.jo created by the pioneering people at
http://www.nesta.org.uk (maybe they could fund this!)

    Dec 28 2010: Can we creatively enhance your UI/X & social media? Can we help you make your work even better by running it as a charity? http://www.TRAIDmark.org explains how:) eg http://www.WEBiversity.org shares free learning for all Ed http://www.whymandesign.com

  • A comment on Talk: Chris Anderson on TED's nonprofit transition

    Sep 3 2010: Love it all.

    Can you open source your great software and also allow us the community to improve it with you (without your permission)? Trusting human nature is key:). Can you fund this development (which will benefit you)?

    Crowdsourcing can be one way to democratically solve many problems as they can be solved without anyones permission by groups of people who agree on a given goal. We (the crowd) would like to help develop what everyone is doing. How can I/you/they enable us the crowd to improve your work (without having to get permission?). How can this be done for any Charity, organisation or government?

    There are several things that any organisation can do to help us the crowd improve your work...

    A.
    You can release your software as open source so everyone can use it for other 'do good' activities (and help you improve it).
    Read up on the benefits of sharing online so that the rest of the world can benefit from your great work rather than just a few people.

    B.
