Hi new & old bootcampers –

Thanks to Eugene for the reminder to come back and use the water cooler. I’m doing so with an explicit thing to “get” but I hope to find time to “give” a little too!

Recently hosted a great retreat with several of our grantees in Boulder, designed by Rebecca Petzel, Eugene’s colleague. This was the project I was focusing on in Bootcamp. We would like a way to stay in touch with each other afterwards but don’t really want to use a listserv. I guess people feel that listserv’s get abused with too frequent posts and people start ignoring them.

One cool outcome of the retreat is that people decided to set up an “innovation team”. Their first task is to come up with a way to stay in contact and “have conversations about projects that develop post retreat”.

Any suggestions for technologies that would be useful? I will suggest wordpress. I have enjoyed this format. But I also think if posts don’t hit your inbox, people are unlikely to follow through with requests, etc.

Thanks all!
