This page is for us to generate ideas.

Here are the basics - add to or amend any of these topic areas (or post Comments with the Tab above):

THE COLLABORATIVE ACTION CENTER at BE’08

PRACTICE EXCHANGE

Meet the missing part of your brain. An accruing job and skills network that connects potential collaborators, practically and geographically.

DESIGN CHALLENGE

Design dilemmas that require collaborative solutions. An open source invitation to propose and participate in solving sustainable design problems in real time at BE’08. How about PV installers and architects developing ideas to fit PV's gracefully into architecture - no more popsicle PV's!

NESEA MEMBER MAP

Playing around with Google Maps and the Collaboration function that allows people to populate a map - including data and links in each location. We could invite people who have registered to attend to place themselves - or resources they know of - on the map. Then at the CAC we could have a computer logged on and a display screen that would get peoples attention displaying the growing mapped network.

NESEA CHAPTERS

Information and interaction with active NESEA Chapters and their members.

NESEA NETWORK

Political action opportunities and influence gained thru collaborative action with other NESEA members. Meet and strategize.

MEET THE PRESS

Designate one Break period as a time to meet editors and writers from the E-Press, many of whom are media sponsors of BE08.

ORGANIZATIONAL INTERDEPENDENTS

Local, regional, national, and global organizations with shared interests identify and connect with each other to recognize the collaborative opportunities that potentiate their missions.

Activities supporting these themes will be organized to occur between sessions.

MEMBER MAP

We'd like to see a visual representation of where NESEA members are located and what they do so that people might recognize collaborative opportunities and get to know each other locally. This could also become a Google Earth dataset.
