It is as important to tell a great story using technology as it is to author technology that allows more stories to be told.

This is a re-recording of a talk I gave to kick off Drupal Camp Wisconsin 2014. It wasn’t recorded and while I typically don’t rerecord presentations I do, this one is very different from any talk I’ve been asked to give previously. This is less a talk about ELMSLN proper and more a meta discussion about using Drupal as a platform for affecting social change. Digital Activism is not only something people do, it is something I feel is required if we are to ever overcome current, overwhelmingly negative societal trends.

Bigger Questions covered

• What does ELMSLN Represent?
• What is Digital Activism?
• What are current societal trends, and how can we impact them?
• How can we foster additional collaboration in the public sector?
• What makes things special?

As I said, this is a very different talk for me and I really enjoyed researching it and authoring it.
