Discussion!YOU + Activism + Project Management

Note-taking SUPERHERO?

Why are you here?What interests you in activism and/or project management?

What makes other project management tools hard to

use or crappy?

If a perfect project management tool existed,

what would you use it to accomplish?

SHARE WITH A FRIEND!!

Report back…

How do we get non-nerdy activists to use a techy

system like this?

How can I bring YOU into this vision?

Where can WE find money to fund this work?For you and me now that we’re working on it together!

What other ideas do you have?

On anything?
