EtherPad: Realtime Collaborative Text Editing Victories | Inspiring action for a green and peaceful future We share these victories with our dedicated supporters around the world. In 1971, a group of activists set sail to Amchitka Island, Alaska to protest nuclear testing. As Bob Hunter, one of the crew members put it, "Whatever history decides about the big picture, the legacy of the voyage itself is not just a bunch of guys in a fishing boat, but the Greenpeace the entire world has come to love and hate." Since then, with a combination of daring action, solid science, and political pressure, Greenpeace has revealed the threats, confronted the villains and forced the solutions necessary for a green and peaceful world. We’re 100 percent supporter funded which means our fights are your fights. 2013 Victories Forests Victories!

Secret Lives of Tiny People There aren't too many photo sets more fun than this... Barcelona-based photographer Oscar Ciutat put these creative scenes together by placing miniature human figurines in precarious situations. The disproportionate scale between the tiny people and their surroundings is hilarious... Whale Translator Ways and Means Toolkits As the largest non-profit urban housing developer in the US, The Community Builders (TCB) has developed and sustained communities for low-income families for more than 40 years. Facing a series of new challenges, opportunities, and technologies, TCB began to re-examine its approach for helping residents and communities realize their full potential. Looking to evolve from the role of landlord to innovator, TCB came to IDEO for help creating a series of tenant services and opportunities. IDEO began conducting fieldwork, visiting mixed- income housing sites to examine how tenants interact with TCB communities. Using insights from in-context interviews and home stays, the team uncovered a set of values and aspirations shared by tenants: to own homes, to attain financial independence, and to send their children to college. These cross-demographic, cross-cultural insights led to a framework for further understanding tenants and shaping related services. Project date: 2007
Virtueller Projektraum Ein virtueller Projektraum (auch Projekt-Kommunikations-Management-System (PKM oder PKMS)) ist eine webbasierte Software für das Projektmanagement. Projekträume verbinden über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg Projektbeteiligte via Internet im Sinne fraktaler Organisationen. Hauptziele dieser virtuellen Community sind die Schaffung von Prozessaktualität, Geschwindigkeit, Dokumentation, Transparenz und Rechtssicherheit und damit höhere Qualität und Kostenersparnis im Bauprozess. Projekträume spielen im Bauwesen eine besonders wichtige Rolle, da historisch gesehen schon seit vielen Jahrzehnten die Erstellung des Bauwerks industriell und bereits seit vielen Jahrhunderten eher handwerklich über arbeitsteilige, aber eigenständige Organisationen (Gewerke, Handwerkerzünfte) durchgeführt werden. Funktionsweise von Projekträumen[Bearbeiten] Funktionen[Bearbeiten] In der Regel stehen folgende Funktionen auf einem zentralen Internetserver zur Verfügung Abrechnung[Bearbeiten] Weblinks[Bearbeiten]
The Community Roundtable: A Peer Network for Community Managers The Social Marketplace - Social Marketing for Social Impact Meebo: More of What You Love Business world not ready for millennials I’ve spent a lot of time on the road with clients lately. Among the topics we discussed, managing the changes associated with the current generational transition was the hottest. The conversations focused mainly on the differences in consumer behaviours between younger and older buyers, and in work and career orientation between millennials and those in senior management. I think the topic is not only fascinating from a human behaviour perspective, it’s also an important discussion for every management team in the country that’s looking outward at customers and inward at employees. If we think back to what life was like 20 years ago from a consumer perspective, many fundamentals have changed. There was a lot of waiting 20 years ago. There is a generation coming through school now, and entering the work force – it’s already a powerful consumer segment – that hasn’t really waited for anything. And our business world isn’t quite ready for them. Think about it. They are hyper-efficient.
