Projects

I like to stay busy and at least have one big project in the works. Below are some projects that I am currently working on.

BarCamp Charleston

It all started with a twitter post after seeing all the cool sessions at another barcamp in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area…and the rest is history.  We will be having our very first Barcamp on October 24th, at the Lowcountry Innovation Center

Here’s a little about what a barcamp is:

“BarCamp is about participation not observation”

BarCamp is a local, ad-hoc “un-conference” where those attending determine what will be presented. Sessions, discussions, demos and interaction occur from everyone attending, not a select panel of speakers. BarCamp provides an open environment for learning and sharing knowledge.

Unlike conventional conferences, BarCamp is 100% free.

BarCamp is typically geared towards technology topics, but considering all of the creative diversity in Charleston, we want to broaden the scope and encourage artists, writers, designers, non-profits, and more to participate.

Green Ambassadors

As an inspiration organization empowering youth to change the world, be on the lookout for big things in the near future

The current site is static, but I am exploring ways to make it dynamic via a content management system like drupal or joomla. Unfortunately, I am still unsure of the hosting specs.

Some of the future features are to include a CRM, Newsletter, Polls, Blog, and many more!

While based in California, the Green Ambassadors are going to go on tours of America, spreading the know-how of making biodiesel. They also have a plastics and conservation campaign. The latter sending them to remote areas like the Pantanal in Brasil.

Koji and Naazli’s wedding site

Some good friends of mine, and in a nod to some other friends Brian and Ruby, I want to help make their wedding site.

Outdoor Education Online

I have recieved feedback from my supervisor that this seems like a really good idea. What a better way to get kids excited about learning than to let them use technology to go places they have never been before.

This project is still on the backburner due to my busy schedule, but if you want to see a sampling of some of the videos, visit my YouTube Page

Some of my ideas are to include a moodle implementation for online courses and a good snappy way to view lots of rich media like streaming video and podcasts.
