Dear Social Finance Ecosystem,
<http://goog_1192541341>
Since Venessa Miemis has beaten me to the punch ;-)... it is only
appropriate to now introduce you to
ProM<http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111>,
a dating site for the climate action movement! A distributed team of
visionaries, change agents, technologists and, most importantly, those that
see the imperative need to develop infrastructure and processes to assist
climate change organizations to coordinate their activity, have converged on
the development of a project that will take mass collaboration to the next
level!
*
What makes our vision unique is that we are developing matching algorithms
and protocols that will connect projects in the same way that personal
dating sites make recommendations for people that you should connect with!*

In order to accomplish this, we are developing a platform (technology
infrastructure, collaboration and Convergence
Processes<http://etherpad.openstewardship.net/ConvergenceProcess>)
that will enable and assist organizations to converge and align their
activity and processes around specific Open
Projects<http://cotw.cc/wiki/Open_Project>(and closed ones of course
as well).
*
*

   - *The details can be found in the attached slide deck (draft being
   iterated!) which you can also link to
here<http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111>
   .*
   - *The current status of the project is published
here<http://cotw.cc/wiki/Project_Matching>
   .*
   - *We run the project through this open Google Group<http://goog_1192541404>
   . <https://groups.google.com/group/cc-pms?hl=en> If you want greater
   visibility into our activity, feel free to join!*

The ProM team is both developing technology to enable collaboration as well
as living our vision by creating a framework and infrastructure that allows
us to crowdsource the resource requirements for the project.
*
We are pioneering the way that open projects of the future will be run!*

As Venessa mentioned, we will be presenting
ProM<http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111>at the
Contact
Conference <http://www.contactcon.com/> in NY on Oct. 20th. We look forward
to discussing this further with you in advance of this date in order to
explore areas of potential collaboration!

Last but not least, the Social Finance Ecosystem Google
Group<https://groups.google.com/group/socialfinance-ecosystem?hl=en>has
been set up to foster a spirit of open collaboration amongst those
that
are building capacity to support social innovators! Here is the list
of represented
organizations<https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1vdpwOB47o83G6BAdyMMWaESzMF93TXm7_oDZJzApr1A>!
We encourage you to invite your best and brightest to this group!

We look forward to discussing all of this further...

Regards,
