There's an interesting event happening on May 9 in London called Participation 2007: Who's Leading Who? It will explore the state of ecampaigning and feature a few of the people at the forefront of this important and rapidly emerging area (i.e. people from Avaaz, Oxfam, Greenpeace, BBC World Service Trust, and FairSay).

A couple of months ago I mentioned I'd been interviewed on the Listening Post about Google Bombing. Turns out they've used the segment, it's now up on YouTube, and starts at exactly 05:16 into the video:
I was pretty nervous: a lot of "um"s and some stammering. And the camera adds ten pounds ;-)

It's been a while since I've blogged on Project IMPACT but I have big news today!
First off, the International Secretariat of Amnesty has officially chosen Drupal and CiviCRM as the Web CMS and eCRM platforms it will invest in and build its Web infrastructure on going forward — a very big thanks to the great people at Beaconfire for helping to make that happen :)
Next, we're now well underway with the re-architecture phase of the project, having contracted user-centred design, website accessibility and information architecture experts Fortune Cookie to take us through an intensive re-architecture process, the output of which (among other things) will be a (user-tested!) user interface specification to start with in the next phase of the project.
Which brings me to this:
IMPACT – Technical Development RFP (43 KB)
We're now looking for a dedicated team of 3-5 experienced Drupal/CiviCRM developers to work with us over the next 6 months on this challenging and extremely important project. The deadline for expressions of interest is Friday, April 20 at 09:00 GMT and the rest of the submission details are in the document.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all re the RFP and please pass it on to development vendors you think might be interested :)
Thanks!

Just a quick note to let you know that the Greenpeace UK Drupal-powered website I've been working on will be launching sometime in the afternoon on Monday, April 16, and a bunch of us will be getting together afterwards (at approximately 6:30pm) at the Duke of Cambridge in Islington to celebrate — please join us!
If you do plan to come out, please list yourself as attending over at upcoming.org, or on the Drupal UK user group site (so we know how many tables to attempt to reserve). Hope to see you there!
