Dearest colleagues and friends,
While I will send out a newsletter soon to our larger community of 3,000+, I wanted to first touch in with you personally, to let you know about the wonderful growth we are experiencing, and how the Dreamfish ecosystem is evolving.
Thank you for all the world-changing work you are doing and all of your support and emails to me. I am moved and touched by how much support there is for the vision of Dreamfish. Below are updates on 1) Dreamfish projects, 2) Dreamfish story 3) Dreamfish Dinner and Dreamfish people 4) Dreamfish membership 5) Dreamfishing at conferences
1. Dreamfishing in new projects:
PopTech Fellows Program, Maine -- From around the world, entrepreneurs are coming together for three days in Maine to learn about business practices, leadership and create a peer learning community. The Fellows Program is held during the inspiring PopTech conference. Loni Davis and Peter Kaminski are facilitating the Fellows Program for three days - Check out the inspiring people and ideas ... http://poptech.org
Institute for Sustainable Development, North Carolina and Cleveland. The project has kicked off! The project will enable many thousands of business owners, including 18,000 businesses in Cleveland, to learn about social equity and environmental practices for their businesses. Cheers to all who are making it happen - Chris Carmody, the champion of the project and everyone at ISD, Ted Ko, Loni Davis and Pete Kaminski! To begin to build the wiki community of practice, Laura Shaffer, project lead, is starting off with focus groups with small business owners and graduate students, to engage them in the design and wiki "barn-raising". http://sustainablefoundation.org/Programs/development.html
Social Capital Markets Conference, San Francisco - This conference will help businesses to know that their business can both be profitable and do good in the world. GoodCap, the social venture firm and friends of Dreamfish, are founding this event to bring together people across divides to change the relationship between capital and world good, and bring together investors and social entrepreneurs.
Check out this monumental event in San Francisco - http://www.socialcapitalmarkets.net
Organization Development Network, Austin, Texas - With Dreamfish, the organization will be going completely virtual and giving up their offices in NJ. Dreamfish will enable them to begin to use a wiki as a homebase, and a suite of social tools. This will enable staff to reduce the cost, environmental footprint, and to better collaborate across geographic divides.
Join us at the conference in Austin, Texas http://www.odnetwork.org/events/conferences/conf2008/program/
Center for Human Systems, DC, San Francisco, Alaska - Michael Broom and Edie Seashore, are the OD pioneers and educators of the Organization Development Practitioner Program. Thanks to, Maiya Holliday, Loni Davis and Peter Kaminski for facilitating the launch of a wiki and forum to their students to enable an inclusive peer learning environment, a collective knowledge-base, and rich learning conversation.
Tell us about the projects you are doing. Stay tuned for projects getting underway: Ventura's local community project; Social media for a People First e-commerce business; Women Environmental Arts Directory, and Technical Planning for Greenmuseum.org
2. The Dreamfish Story
The verb, to Dreamfish, means to work together for a just, sustainble world. How we dreamfish has changed and morphed along our way to support this vision. As we expand to include co-working spaces in addition to our technologies and events, we are now offering a new value proposition, in order to drive forward the big vision directly. Yesterday, Pete and I jammed to come up with the new marketing copy. Here is the Dreamfish story:
3. Welcome Dreamfish People and Dreamfish Dinners!
Please welcome the extraordinary people who are coming to dreamfish with us: All of the participants at Change Jam San Francisco, Kevin Jones and Tim Freundlich of GoodCap, Adeeba Deterville (Enterprise Capacity and Collaboration), Alison King (Design thinking with Data), Johannes (Video and Media), and Elizabeth Chur (Interdisciplinary Radio Producer and Writer), Leila Chiriyath of SamSource (IT outsourcing to Kenya and Himalayas), and Gloria Young (Government Knowledge Management).
We are working on developing infrastructure and proceses for practitioners and projects to come together. Thanks for your patience and participation.
For local Dreamfish communities around the world, we are going to begin regular Dreamfish Dinners, to network and celebrate Dreamfish people. If you would like to co-host a dinner or volunteer, please contact me.
4. Dreamfish now offers a membership with co-working space, locally and globally
We are piloting the new membership to our closer network on a limited basis. In the coming months, as we move to larger space, we will open our doors more publicly to change agents. in 2009, we will expand our locations, worldwide. Stay tuned for exciting news to come.

5. Dreamfishing at Conferences in October -- We will dreamfish at BarCamp Africa, Social Capital Markets Conference, PopTech conference, and OD Network conferences this month. The goal of Dreamfishing, in our sponsorship of the conferences, is to provide all of these change agents with an ecosystem, in which they have everything they need to connect and work together to change the world.

Dreamfish
and the world flourishes around you
Dreamfish knows that change comes from the edge of the system. It's an exciting place. But we know that stitching together networks of people and ideas at the edges can get lonely and exhausting, too. To support you, Dreamfish hosts a fertile ecosystem where change agents thrive. When you're dreamfishing, you have everything you need to make the world flourish - co-working space, online tools, peer learning events, creative projects, and great people.
