We have a longstanding interest in communication and technology, and the connection between them.  Our body of work centers around bringing open source tools into the service of environmental and scientific organizations. The common themes that unite our work are building community and supporting online collaboration.

Since 2004 we have been an active member of the Plone community and a code contributor to the Plone.  We've also organized sprints and contributed to the development of several add-on products including RichTopic, CMFBibliography, Calendaring, PressRoom, Plone4Artists, EnviroPortals, and more.

We can help you customize, deploy, and support applications developed in Plone. We can also help you deploy Plone in robust installations including clustering, caching, and integration with 3rd party software. 

Deployed Sites

Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (United States)

The Bay Area Integrated Regional Management Plan is a nine-county effort to coordinate and improve water supply reliability, protect water quality, manage flood protection, maintain public health standards, protect habitat and watershed resources, and enhance the overall health of the bay. We've developed this portal as a digital library and collaboration space for the IRWMP organization. The site catalogs more than 200 project listings and provides a secure intranet workspace for each. These tools were so effecitve that the IRWMP decided to provide secure workspaces to the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies project. We've also built a custom tool for generating e-mail updates of new site content. The open source software developed in this project is now being reused be several other IRWMP collaboratives in California.

Contra Costa Watershed Forum (United States)

The Forum is an open committee of some fifty organizations, including state and local agencies, local non-profit environmental and education organizations, community volunteer groups, and private citizens. This site provides CCWF with both a public-facing web presence as well as secure intranet workspaces for their various committees. The group uses this site to organize and promote their many activities in the watershed including volunteer creek monitoring, annual creek cleanup day. The site also features spaces for job announcements and a group calendaring solution.

Cosumnes, American, Bear, and Yuba Rivers IRWMP (United States)

An IRWMP is a comprehensive planning document prepared on a region-wide scale that identifies priority water resources projects and programs with multiple benefits. This site was built to support the CABY group through the information-intensive process of developing their IRWMP.

Great Communities Transit Collaborative (United States)

The Great Communities Collaborative brings together residents and local organizations to participate in community planning processes across the San Francisco Bay Area. Our goal is to create a region of vibrant neighborhoods with affordable housing, shops, jobs, and services within convenient walking distance near transit. This site serves as a secure collaboration space as well as public web presence for the group. The project team uses this site to securely share documents and produce monthly reports. Content from the site is exported into a Word-importable format for producing monthly reports. The site features an interactive OpenLayers-based mapping tool for exploring current and proposed transit stations in the SF Bay Area.

Pollinator Conservation Digital Library (United States)

The Pollinator Conservation Digital Library is a knowledge base and online community for pollinator researchers. Through this interactive site you can browse and search databases of resources and projects, find other people and organizations, as well as find news and events about pollinator related topics. [in progress]

Wind Harvest International (United States)

Since 2001 we've provided Wind Harvest with a comprehensive set of design solutions, including website, trade-show booth displays, brochures and other print collateral. In addition to Wind Harvest's public site, we've also built a secure investor extranet for distributing financial information and a technical extranet for storing CAD engineering resources.
