Too all of you who came to the summit and those who could not make it – thank you. That weekend was long long over due. I am more excited now about this project than I have ever been. I will be sending out refined / compiled notes and take aways as soon as I can. For now though I am going home to sleep soundly and try not to think too drupaly of thoughts.

CivicSpace Labs is a funded continuation of the DeanSpace project. We are veterans of the Dean campaign web-effort and are building the tool-set of our dreams. We are busily completing work on CivicSpace, a powerful grassroots organizing toolkit that empowers collective action inside communities and cohesively connects remote groups of supporters.

CivicSpace is powerful.

CivicSpace is being built with the needs of distributed organizations in mind. It will give you and the supporters within your community a solid framework for organizing and engaging those around you in action. But it also will allow you to plug your community into a network of other communities where you can share your ideas, knowledge, relationships, and organizational information. Here are some things it will enable you to do:

• Create a customizable community driven website with Blogs, Photo Galleries, User Profiles, Friend / Buddy Tracking, Polls, and File Storage more…
• Send targeted email more…
• Import and aggregate remote content, share users, and sync calendars with any other CivicSpace site more…
• Manage your groups membership and contacts more…
• Organize events, ride sharing, and RSVP more…
• Collaboratively create, edit, and publish documents more…
• Easily create discussion forum / mailing lists more…
• Allow you to create forms and surveys for data collection more…
• VoterID/GOTV more…

CivicSpace is Simple

CivicSpace will be avaliable by mid June for less than fifty dollars a month. It will be easy to set up and get off the ground. We will have many web-site templates for you to choose from and with very little configuration you will be off the ground and ready for action.
