We've had two different conversations on ABCD in Action that are focused on software for asset mapping. I've closed the other conversation and I'm sending people to this one.
Now go talk amongst yourselves!
We seem to have two different conversations going on regarding software for asset mapping, so I'm going to close this conversation and refer you all to the other one, which you can find here.
The people who come to this online community are typically on the outlook for ways to care for and support their communities. During this difficult time, what are you doing to take care of yourselves? Feel free to post your thoughts and/or pictures.
What tips and ideas do you have for communities dealing with coronavirus? What should communities be doing that governments are not doing or can not do?
How has your community responded to the coronavirus pandemic? How have neighbors stepped up or supported each other?
Great question, Sarah! One suggestion I have for you is to contact Kim Hopes at the ABCD Institute at DePaul University in Chicago. Kim has a list of all the ABCD faculty affiliated with the Institute and can share your info with them. I'm sure that there would be folks interested on the east coast.
You can contact Kim at khopes@depaul.edu

Hi Jean -
I noticed that no one has responded to your question. I'm going to repost your question in a separate thread so that people might notice it... So don't be surprised if you start hearing from folks!

From Al Etmanski:
I am writing to let you know that with the help of many people I have started a new website devoted exclusively to social change quotations. The collection is called SPARKS! It seeks to amplify the voices of women, Indigenous people and those who experience disability.
It is not yet the world’s largest collection of social change quotes. But, with your help, I hope it will be. So please spread the word.
The website is “open source” which means you are invited to add to the collection by submitting your favourite quotations.
It is also “minimum specs,” which means there are roughly 2000 quotes in 80 categories. I’d appreciate your feedback on the usefulness and accessibility of the design. Let me know if you spot any errors or what changes you would make.
As someone who has subscribed to my weekly blogs you will know that I end every post with a quotation. Whenever I sit down to write I make sure that I am surrounded by quotations. They shine a light on what I am trying to write.
May these quotations light your way too!
Thanks and take care,
Al
Anyone who feels the impact of a policy, or a situation is a stakeholder whether they are engaged or not. Any stakeholder who is "engaged" assumes responsibility and risk in order to create change.
Interesting comment about assuming responsibility and risk... do you think organizations think about that when they talk about needing to focus on "community engagement" through their work, projects, or initiatives?
So who do you think of when you think of "stakeholders"?
