EvokersEvoke Challenge: NonProfits Join Together Virtually
My vision is to have the first Virtual Evoke Conference. The challenge to the network will be to attend it by preparing for the date and being there.
The power I want to grow is Collaboration because Evoke has provided an opportunity we must capitolize on. The network is connected thanks to Evoke but needs organizing into logical streams to keep the momentum going and the collaboration happening. There's lot's already started but not enough. That's what I'd like this conference focus on but for sure we'll have music and dancing time too.
HOW THE CHALLENGE CAME TO ME:
I volunteer for a nonprofit and am a member of the Nonprofit Commons (NPC) in Second Life, sponsored by TechSoup Global. We meet every Friday at 8:30 AM and in a little over two years have grown to host over 80 nonprofit offices from around the world on 4 islands, one for environmental causes, one for health and two a mixture of social causes. We have held many mixed reality and special events as well.
In our 'open mic' time at today's meeting, which happened to be a celebration of Earth Day as well as our 1 year anniversary for the environmental island, I spoke about Urgent Evoke, and how I've learned so much and see such potential for a global connection I felt it would be of interest to everyone.
It struck me that it would be just as valuable if I let Urgent Evoke know about the NPC, and from there I realized it is ideal as a platform for a global conference. We at the NPC already know how to hold meetings with people from around the world, we can stream in live video, music and... it's fun. The immersive experience has to be experienced, as like Urgent Evoke, Second Life, to me and many others inworld, it's not a game.
RESOURCES NEEDED:
I will need help with the planning and organizing, promoting and holding the conference. This includes:
program manager; project manager; organizers; mentors; graphic designer; media co-ordinator.
In Second Life: media co-ordinator, builders, support staff (help, meeting moderators, media, security).
Second Life is free so no cost to participants.
Keep in mind this is in the "Imagine" stage, but imagine a virtual global meeting - for those who have a capable computer and network so not everyone, but still, we have the potential to connect hundreds of social innovators with nearly zero energy footprint used (no travel costs).
POWERS EARNED:
Many, tbd.
AND FINALLY
Meanwhile, a shameless plug notice for nonprofits:
TechSoup Global, a nonprofit organization helping other nonprofits with technology by providing reduced price software and support, is a must-know for any nonprofit who uses technology!
and everyone is welcome at the Nonprofit Commons see you there:
I challenge Evokers who have more to experience what it's like to have less, and post a photo or video to prove it. Post title = EvokersEvoking 2010, tag = haveless
I believe one needs to spend time in the company of those less fortunate to understand how lucky we are and this would be a reminder for us all in the collection we come up with.
The collection can also be used as a record of what we started with before we made a difference.
Thinking beyond that we can sell books/calendar/cards/etc, with a few limited editions signed by Alchemy for auction. All proceeds go towards a cause to make a difference for the goodness in life for all.
Let the First Annual Evokers Evoking competition begin. Worth 100 Courage points.

I started a group in Second Life called Urgent Evoke in preparation for the conference. I've scouted out some places and it may be I can get use of a private virtual world for free which uses the Second Life client. Stay tuned it's going to happen.
