As you know, we are working on a redesign of the NetSquared platform. First, we aggregated feedback from the Community, and even from ourselves.  Then, we shared our ideas and some mockups with you on the blog this summer to get more feedback, share our thinking, and keep the process open. Now, we're ready for action!  We have a small team in place hard at work implementing many of the elements you've all suggested.  And again, we're going to keep the process open...

Crowdsource your design projects to get the most choices for your money

As [we hope] you all know, here at NetSquared we love our Community and want to deliver for you: whether it's creating spaces for the Community members to share ideas and updates (the Community Blog) or for collaborating on innovative Projects to some of the biggest social issues around the world (the Project Gallery).  We are always looking to engage you in our work with feedback and ideas, like the recent Redesign series where we opened up our plans for redesigning the website so you could contribute to the conversation

As many of you may or may not know by participating in the NetSquared network, TechSoup.org has been a technology resource for over 400,000 (!) nonprofits and libraries since its inception in 2000. We want you to be among the first to know about the soon-to-be-released effort to make the site and services even better.

S.O.U.P.

Thanks to help from Microsoft and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, TechSoup.org has begun a Site Overhaul and Update Project (S.O.U.P.). Throughout the coming year, they’ll be making lots of improvements, the first of which you’ll see soon!

We are working on a redesign of the NetSquared platform. With feedback from the Community and even from ourselves, we have put together a big list of wishes and needs. After some great redesign mockups, we are inviting the Community back into the conversation to help us continue the process. (Learn more about the redesign here and follow the series.)

Today, we're focusing in on the Project Gallery!

The latest version of Google’s SketchUp software was released yesterday.  Aside from having a cute name, the software has some great potential use in your non-profit toolbox.

For those that haven’t played with it, SketchUp is a three dimensional modeling program.  That means you can create little virtual models of practically anything: a house, a train, a space station, a dinosaur.  Well, it’s really geared towards mechanical things - my dinosaur comes out looking a little funky.

The San Francisco Halloween Festival committee has enjoyed an organic community growth around the planning process for the city's October 31st celebration, but now needs help making a website. Following the closure of Castro Street last year for the annual celebration, the SF Halloween Festival committee plans to bring together all ages, all cultures, and people from SF and around the world in both free and ticketed activities and celebrations all afternoon and evening in Lot A, next to SF Giants AT&T Ballpark, and Terry Francois Boulevard.
