[Community Communication Project]

The Community Communication Project is an attempt to find better ways for communities to interact, to share information -- to communicate. Ideally, this would lead to the identification or discovery of a model (a group of principles or structures) that could scale to fit a particular size community (say, a campus or a neighborhood or a city and so on). Imagine trying to solve a community problem and being able to tie into the most appropriate, effective, and efficient modes of communication you need: whether printed newsletters and flyers, video and television, web and email, facilitated group meetings, radio and telephone, personal contact, and so on.

Imagine developing a comprehensive, or unified, way for our communities to communicate: to communify who we are, where we are.

While there are several pieces already available and some already in use, the puzzle still hasn't been pieced together into a comprehensive picture. It is exactly that picture we seek. The slogan I return to again and again is "Our community is content-rich, but distribution-poor." Share the wealth.

The September Project

I just heard about The September Project: a national effort to encourage everyone to meet at their local library to discuss their community on Saturday, September 11, 2004. Intriguing concept. I wonder if this would be a good starting point for the next incarnation of this Community Communication Project as we seek to communify ourselves. Hmm...

Well I'm just finding this post and the site as a whole today. It says here 2004 and it 2009 now. Whadaya think, is it working? I had my own community communication project and now I find this. Of course we need to meet and have this place to talk. The important part of the community meeting is not the place but the content. My project looks to develop content for community communication. I was just working on a budget when I came across this site while using google as a spell check. A budget gives the action structure. What's out budget? Lets make a set of actions that will lead to community communication. Its not a project with a final out come, it's only a process that leads to many more projects...
