---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Neal Gorenflo <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 5:30 AM Subject: Shareable Monthly Update -- July 2015 To: Dear Shareable Stakeholders, I took on a long overdo vacation with family in July. With a few days of inbox clearing complete, we are now moving forward with our late Summer/Fall programmatic work and have resumed our strategic planning process. We added to the team with the hire of Ambika Kandasamy to fill our open Communications Coordinator role. We found Ambika with the suggestion from Advisory Board member Michael Stoll (thank you Michael!) who had previously worked with her at SF Public Press. In addition to the weekly tasks of the newsletter, events calendar, social media and outreach, she will be assisting with the #MapJam, supporting the Sharing Cities Network and coordinating the production/distribution of a new e-book of our most popular ‘How To’ guides. Programmatically, we’re moving forward with our the online magazine, #MapJam and Sharing Cities Book. We have begun an assessment of the structure, reach, and editorial voice of the editorial program and will be convening next month to focus on this a bit more. The #MapJam will run during the final two weeks in October for the 3rd year in a row. We are currently revising all of our campaign materials with what we learned from last year’s mappings and we’ll be sending out an initial “Save the Date” to the Sharing Cities Network and all former participants next week. The design process for the Sharing Cities book is continuing to move forward and we anticipate having some exciting things to share by next month's update. And our traffic was respectable in July: 88,728 unique visitors, down 3% from June. Are you interested in hearing more about what is to come? Have follow up questions about our current work or direction? Or have a burning suggestion or idea that you would like to share with us? Please join us this Wednesday Aug 19th at 9am PST for a Google Hangout.
