Hi folks,
This looks like PW's best work yet! Seems like a window of opportunity to establish human contacts and send electronic press kits to:

http://www.scientificamerican.com/
http://www.popularmechanics.com/
http://www.popsci.com/
http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters
http://dsc.discovery.com/green/
http://science.discovery.com/
http://www.ema-online.org/
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/green/


Another idea would be to get green film fests and distributors (such as: http://www.greenplanetfilms.org/) to pledge to buy wholesale and/or screen the dvds and send an email blast to their lists.

Here's a somewhat outdated but worthwhile international green media contact list. There are probably better ones out there but this is a start:

Anyone interested in creating/using a Permies Zello channel (http://zello.com/)? Zello is a free smart phone/pc based "live conversation" tool that provides a walkie-talkie-like environment to verbally chat via the internet. It would be awesome if the permies community created an official dedicated channel, however to maintain the integrity of the forum terms of use, it would require moderation.

If you install the app and search "permaculture" there is an existing channel called "permaculture" that currently has 38 subscribers. It was created by "jonnyrocket", I'm not sure who that is...

I've joined the channel and there hasn't been hardly any activity. I'm going to stay tuned in, hopefully people will pop in there, and if people find the platform useful, we could petition Paul and Adrien to consider creating an official permies channel...

Hey folks,
Does anyone know of a source of permaculture based business plan templates that are open-source or for sale. Or has anyone written a business plan they'd care to share for free, fee, or trade.

I'm currently in talks with investors and am working out a strategy for a permaculture "industrial park" on 40 acres near Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Cheers!

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forums and have attempted to search for a job board.

Does anyone know if there's a global job board anywhere on here.

I'd like to find a permie drupal ninja to hire for some web work. Is there something on permies like this: http://jobs.drupalsearch.org/a/jobs/find-jobs (basically a list of job postings so permies can look for local or nonlocal work in various subfields...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
-Ben
