Communities By Defintion. Know How It Works...
** December 31, 2011 - It's been a good year for Cognitive Metaphors community building. My wife and I are really starting to click as a Drupal Gardens site building team. We are building on 4 years of working with Filipino Computer Science Student Interns from the University of Santo Tomas. This year, we launched GreenConshy.Org and Paopi.Org. Above and beyond site building, these efforts included grant writing/winning, intern training, community involvement, social media training of users, and passionate evangelism. We have 2 more sites on the verge of rolling out in early 2011. I have 6 personal sites that I want to refactor or build from the ground up. If you are an out of work or under employed Filipino American or a Filipino computer science student, I am looking for a hand and someone to train/mentor. I will set aside a small stipend for the right individual or team to work on these 5 sites. Contact me at info@cognitivemetaphors.com if you have interest and passion to build and learn. **
A Brain.
 |
We use our brains to figure out if our organization is moving in the right direction. We sift through disparate data sources like accounting, sales, operations, marketing, visits and other logistics. We look for patterns and trends. Then, we try, test, and measure strategies to make things better. Pentaho offers an integrated set of tools for bringing disparate data together, slicing and dicing it, reporting it in useful visual representations, and even detecting hidden patterns. |
A Heart.
|
We must be show a lot of heart, a lot of passion in advocacy of the organizations that we are stakeholders in. It's this passion that attracts others to your cause and provides the energy needed for your community to thrive. Drupal is a content management system which offers all the "community plumbing" you need to put your message, your passion out there on the internet for like-minded individuals to see and interact with. YouTube video compilations provide another channel to relay your message. These video compilations can be integrated into your Drupal site. |
The Nerve.
|
|
We do not work in a vacuum. An organizational nervous system senses changes in our external environment and triggers the brain and heart to act on it. Google Analytics shows how people found your site, where they came from, what they looked at. It's the nervous system we use to measure if your online presence is growing and why. Amazon Web Services let's your computing resources grow as your community grows. |
