Dear Social Finance Ecosystem,<a href="http://goog_1192541341" target="_blank"><br>
</a><br>
Since Venessa Miemis has beaten me to the punch ;-)... it is only appropriate to now introduce you to <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111" target="_blank">ProM</a>, 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!<br>
<i><b><br>
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!</b></i><br>
<br>
In order to accomplish this, we are developing a platform (technology infrastructure, collaboration and <a href="http://etherpad.openstewardship.net/ConvergenceProcess" target="_blank">Convergence Processes</a>) that will enable and assist organizations to converge and align their activity and processes around specific <a href="http://cotw.cc/wiki/Open_Project" target="_blank">Open Projects</a> (and closed ones of course as well).<br>
<i><b><br>
</b></i><ul><li><i><b>The details can be found in the attached slide deck (draft being iterated!) which you can also link to <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111" target="_blank">here</a>.</b></i></li>
<li><i><b>The current status of the project is published <a href="http://cotw.cc/wiki/Project_Matching" target="_blank">here</a>.</b></i></li><li><i><b>We run the project through this open </b><b><a href="http://goog_1192541404" target="_blank">Google Group</a><a href="https://groups.google.com/group/cc-pms?hl=en" target="_blank">.</a> If you want greater visibility into our activity, feel free to join!</b></i></li>
</ul>
<br>
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.<br>
<i><b><br>
We are pioneering the way that open projects of the future will be run!</b></i><br>
<br>
<br>
As Venessa mentioned, we will be presenting <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/sureshf/pro-m-draftreview0308111" target="_blank">ProM</a> at the <a href="http://www.contactcon.com/" target="_blank">Contact Conference</a> 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!<br>
<br>
<br>
Last but not least, the <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/socialfinance-ecosystem?hl=en" target="_blank">Social Finance Ecosystem Google Group</a> 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 <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1vdpwOB47o83G6BAdyMMWaESzMF93TXm7_oDZJzApr1A" target="_blank">represented organizations</a>! We encourage you to invite your best and brightest to this group!<br>
<br>
<br>
We look forward to discussing all of this further...<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
