Next week I'm doing a Webinar for Extension Professionals , a remix of 10 Steps to Association 2.0 which was a remix of Marnie Webb 's Ten Ways Nonprofits Can Change the World. My initial remix thought (wrong) was to look for examples that were related to agriculture, but the extension is so much more. I'm nervous. It's messy.

I was curious how a large national network with local affiliates approaches a social media strategy in a networked way. Iavor says they started with an over arching strategy, "We had to think through what we do as a brand in the social space and how it relates to our business goals so we could deploy social media strategically."

The online facilitation list recently had a thread about choosing wikis. The discussion included some pointers to the tools as well as some clarifying questions. I found the above image in Flickr under a license that allows me to remix it -- so I changed the title. I'm also reminded of Andy Robert's wiki on wiki facilitation.

I discovered this new tool during a discussion on the NTEN Affinity Group list for nonprofits and flickr about how to be efficient using flickr. The students had to create an image that was representative of the organization's core values and then create another image that another student could remix. Anyway, here's the flickr set.

The objective of the The Innovation Exchange is to facilitate rapid and widespread adoption of environmental innovation in business.

This year, I'm staying in on for Penguin Day and am facilitating sesion on Open Content and Nonprofits. While there is much discussion about the promise of "Open Source" software, there is arguably more promise and potential in creation and utilization of "Open Content" for nonprofit needs.

" The discussion reminded of the one I heard in the UK and read later on the Circuit Riders list " Is Open Source Fair Trade for Nonprofits ?"
