[CTCVISTA] CTC VISTA org's using open source and/or Drupal tools?

Hi all,

Nettrice Gaskins, former digital media area coordinator for the Project, is writing an article for the Nonprofit Quarterly (Third Sector New
England) about how nonprofits could be using new media and open source tools.  She included a little case study on the CTC VISTA Project but she's looking for some other examples of org's with CTC VISTAs now or recently that are doing projects using new media or open source tools...especially org's that are not necessarily CTCs or technology focused.  Let me know if you (or someone at your org) is and she'd love to include you in the article.


Thanks!

PS Here's a draft of what she wrote about our project to give you an idea:



AmeriCorps CTC VISTA Project –

The CTC VISTA Project places AmeriCorps VISTA members with nonprofit
organizations across the country, including the greater Boston area
that utilizes information and communications technologies to address
the needs of low-income and at-risk communities.  The project is
in the process of developing a Drupal-based platform to pool resources
for their members and partner nonprofits.  They actively recruit VISTA members with expertise in Web 2.0 software that help to develop
the platform and provide support, knowledge and expertise of open
source tools for nonprofit, community media, and community technology
organizations in New England and around the country.



Local or regional organizations served by the Vista project include the
Castle Square Tenants Organization, Community Software Lab, Young
Entrepreneurs Society, United Teen Equality Center, Tri-City Community
Action Program, Project: Think Different, Herein Our Motives Evolve,
and the Madison Park Development Corporation.
