[NGO] Re: [Community] Looking for PloneConf Enviro Panelists

[Nate Aune]

My company Jazkarta has built two Plone sites for environmental  
organizations, both based in Washington D.C.

Food and Water Watch
http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org

US Climate Network (members-only area uses Teamspace for collaboration)
http://www.usclimatenetwork.org

I've cc'ed the directors of both of these organizations to see if  
they're interested in participating on the environmental panel at the  
Plone Conference.

You may want to add "Plone and environmental organizations" to the  
"Case study panels" section at http://plone.org/events/conferences/ 
seattle-2006/agenda-1/agenda
