The idea here is that we can reproduce all of the features of Meetup.com and Google Groups in about an hour using a couple of off-the-shelf open source tools, like Drupal with the Organic Groups module installed.
I just did a really quick setup at FloridaCreatives.com/community - nothing fancy yet, but groups are turned on, so […]

Today at BarCamp I suggested we create a “secret” handshake for Florida Creatives members or people who are involved in the local community.
Here are some suggestions: hugs, peace sign, hang loose, three-fingered wave, etc.
What would you use as the Florida Creatives secret handshake? Record something and post it in the comments!

BarCamp Orlando is a weekend for all types of creative folks to come together and share with each other. The event is dubbed an “unconference”, a format which derives power from the people instead of the event organizers or the presenters. Everyone has an equal opportunity to get on stage and speak, teach […]

marc. with a c. (aka Marc Sirdoreus) is someone I’ve been a friend of for the last 2+ years, and a fan of from the first moment I saw him play on the same day. I have had the honor of performing on stage with his band, but someone doesn’t really help […]

Today a friend of mine sent me an email asking him to help him find some resources (like money) for a film project he’s working on. I thought, as I often do, that the best way to chase down opportunities like making money is to get involved with the community. Therefore, I got him in […]

There are […]
