Hi,
Thanks for posting. We definitely should try to meet again, if only to make a decision if this works for folks. I am not sure if this site has been widely distributed or not, but so far it doesn't feel active, most likely because there is not a critical mass of users to make it work. Like I said in the meeting, I am willing to put some administrative help behind this experiment. If this is ok with folks, we can coordinate through our offices. Let me know. I am also curious if there is a way to put this onto a FaceBook page... Steve |

So at our last meeting in November we thought that we would try out WISER earth for a resource sharing platform and build from there. How is it working, do we need a refresher? Who all is involved, knows about this as a resource, and who else do we need to reach out to? What is working, what isn't what else do we want to create?
Here is the action items I captured from the last meeting, please feel free to add to this or clarify anything here, I'm sure there's more that you've been thinking about for this collaborative. We also talked about the next meeting being in a cafe for a cozier environment, so name your favorite spot and we can go from there :) I like the Numi tea house in Oakland.
