We need to make Richard Stuebi a Cleveland celebrity! Its great to know someone good has come to Cleveland to do good.  I think Stuebi and his role with the Cleveland Foundation need to be much higher profile. Until the average Clevelander hears more about advanced energy than MIttal Cleveland will not be as green a city as it could be.

P.S. I was grossed out to see Mittal's name as a sponsor on the Taste of Tremont flyer

I hate blogs - yes, you can aggregate the content elsewhere and jump around from blog to blog, but the whole point of developing realneo in Drupal, moving Voices and Choices to Drupal, getting cities like East Cleveland in Drupal, getting the Cleveland Schools to use Drupal, getting Beach and Lefkowitz to move GCBL to Drupal, etc., etc., was to integrate the NEO user community into one superorganism and get homeostasis working for each member of the community and the regional economy, in many important ways... the NEO community has not worked together for this. It is essential the region embrace world-class collaborative technology with open standards now, for current effectiveness and long term optimization here, as a distinctive competency in this region... all these silo and "network" blogs and web-sites fueling transformation in NEO are not functionally collaborative or economically sustainable, and worse place NEO's individual's identities and content in the wrong people's hands, in the wrong technologies, and at constant risk of being myspaced! Everyone here would be better off just using Tribe or People Aggregator if they don't want to collaborate on doing something real here.

Why don't you see if you can make some progress getting people to work together on this collaboration here - we're working with the next generation of Drupal, which has organic groups, CRM, all sorts of amazing stuff - the world's best resources here and around the world are ready and willing and want to work on this here. If people don't want to invent solutions here, I suggest they all work with People Aggregator - the founder is one of our advisors and way cool so that is an option... Ball's in your court...

I'm working on doing all this world-class for the First Nations so if you can make NEO develop right then we'll be co-developing something huge, world-class and truly transformational at many levels, right here in NEO. I'll work elsewhere - you focus here - good luck on the NEO teambuilding side - just keep the spirit snipers and haters away.

Disrupt IT

And so, i will work towards that end....or shall i say that beginning...

Does anyone have email contact info  for Mr. Stuebi?  Unfortunately, I will be in Akron tomorrow working  when Mr. Stuebi is speaking, so if someone here can get his contact info, I would be very appreciative.

Also, anyone know of a blog, local or otherwise, that is running in drupal?  I would be curious to explore it aesthetically, functionally, etc.

thanks for the challenge!
