Greenpeace UK CMS Project - Final Stages

I'm extremely happy to report that we've now entered the final stages of the Greenpeace UK CMS project — Cristen, Michael and Tom of EchoDitto were here in London this week to take the GPUK web team through 2 days of Drupal training and to revisit the online strategy recommendations they'd presented to us back in August; we've got a bunch of acceptance testing and cosmetic tweaking still to do, but otherwise are looking good for a January launch :)

And in the meantime, here's a sneak peak at what the new site will look like (mock-up courtesy of BiroCreative in Vancouver, Canada):

Stay tuned!

Back from Montevideo

Been back from Montevideo since Tuesday and it's taken me until now to blog on the trip (went straight into a day-long Drupal training with EchoDitto and Greenpeace UK on Wednesday and spent the rest of the week teaching at the university and chatting with various people about very exciting potential work for next year).

Delayed blog entry notwithstanding, the trip was awesome: Montevideo is beautiful, the Latin American APC members I met are lovely, and the project management training I was there to deliver — translated in real time from English to Spanish and back again — was a totally new and mind-blowing experience for me (two translators sat in a box at the back of the room, those of us who required translation wore headphones and spoke into microphones, the translators translated and presto! we all understood each other).

Thank you once again, Anriette and Estelle, for the opportunity; Valeria, Vanessa and Vivienne, for coordinating everything; and the fabulous Danilo (pictured above), for being such an amazing co-facilitator — you are all a pleasure to work with :)

Oh — and as I mentioned previously, the APC very kindly had my presentations and templates translated into Spanish, which you can now grab along with the English versions here or directly here:
