Hello world!

By On September 13, 2011 · 5 Comments

OK, let’s get down to the business of getting this nonprofit going! Lots of things to say and report in upcoming blog posts, but I’m most excited about preparing for having a student intern. This snazzy internship will be the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Digital Storymakers Foundation.

Digital Storymakers Foundation is a registered nonprofit in North Carolina, but so far, Storymakers is just a twinkle in my eye. That doesn’t really cut it for federal nonprofit status and all the fun things that come with that – I hope to build a strong community around this effort. We will eventually be producing open-source story management systems (rather than content management systems) for community-based digital archiving websites. Storymakers wants you and your family or community to preserve and own your stories forever. But right now we need to build a little infrastructure. That’s where an intern can help.

Stay tuned for details and follow http://twitter.com/storymakers!

    Sounds like an ambitious project. Will follow your work with interest. I’m hoping to organize those working on story around the concept of all of us as storyworkers, as hinted at by Joe Lambert in a speech last year.

      Thanks Fred. I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from Lambert. I believe that storytelling is something we all do every day – it’s translating our stories through technology that’s challenging.

    Hi! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

    Appreciating the dedication you put into your site and detailed information you offer. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

    Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks
