For those of you who made it out for the #goodsharing conference, we want to thank you for your passionate participation which made the event such a success. We were overwhelmed by the shared chord that was struck among us, and inspired to work even harder to build the collaborations that we all seem to be craving.
For those who couldn’t make it out, we want to thank you for your support getting us to the place where we could imagine and then pull off such a unique event.
We also want to INVITE you to join what clearly is a movement burgeoning around us.
SO, WHAT IS #GOODSHARING ANYWAY?
In our minds (so far) it’s…
a MENTALITY of collaborating with one another, within our issue-silos, and across issues, in order to improve our community service.
a PROCESS of sharing stories, ideas, insights in to obstacles we all face, resources, connections, and encouragement. It is a cooperative process of developing
both tools and community projects.
a MOVEMENT of on-going shared community work. We are building a shared calendar, a #goodsharing Facebook group, and various collaborative projects as part of the infrastructure we intend to use to enhance our work moving forward.
