Joe Edelman at the Ethos Roundtable December 22, 2009

The Ethos Roundtable an informal group of people who are interested in 1) measuring and extending ethos, and 2) using technology for positive social change. We meet once a month in Harvard Square (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA) for discussions and presentations.

Featured guest: Joe Edelman of Citizen Logistics

Joe will present about Groundcrew — a framework being used for real-time volunteer coordination — and the PosX system of rewarding the organizers, leaders, and nonprofits which do the most good and cause the most positive experience. He will cover the immediately practical uses of Groundcrew, from field and community organizing to volunteer mobilization, and then discuss the direction we want to go, towards creating a world and an economic system where doing good is tracked and well-rewarded, and where people have both the information and the availability to rapidly assemble to help one another. He'll talk about the steps necessary to reach that goal, some of the missing pieces, and how everyone can be involved.
