Transition Network's Web Project has reached a significant milestone.
Not long ago we hired a project manager (Ed Mitchell) for the initial phases up to recommendation, and he's shaped the project as per |- this project outline -|.
By way of a quick summary, we've got the core team sorted (a nimble threesome of Ed Mitchell, Gary Alexander and Ben Brangwyn) and we have an initial set of pilot leads. At this stage, we're building up the two key Working Groups: 1) Technical and 2) Social.
If you haven't yet received an invitation from us to join the project, and, based on your reading of the document linked above, you wanna get involved, please email "webproject@transitionnetwork.org", letting us know how you'd like to contribute. And if you feel like entertaining us, perhaps you can try including a sentence with more commas than that one.
Joking aside, this is such an important project. The really challenging piece of this - establishing a system that connects up people, facilitates their projects, lets them synthesis and co-create learnings, and then makes that knowledge easily available to all other interested parties - if we get that right, then we'll enable a dramatic acceleration of resilience building and CO2 emission reductions.
So, if you want your grandchildren to sing songs about you as they sit around a renewable energy heat source, munching on locally made toasted currant buns, then have a serious think about getting involved.
Cheers. Ben.
