I'm interested in: Appropriate technology - Green living - Water - Energy

Edits to Appropedia by me are as a regular member of the community, and sometimes as an admin.
Unless otherwise stated, they are not legal or official actions as a director of the Appropedia Foundation.

I know this box is ugly. If you want to make it look better, feel free :-).

I'm an Australian engineer with a passion for sharing knowledge to make a better world, and I've been involved in Appropedia since the very early days. I spend most of my time in Asia, especially Indonesia.

What I'm doing here

I'm an admin on Appropedia, and I help to...

Work on the project pages
Promote Appropedia
Support the community
Perform "gnome" tasks (I run ChriswaterguyBot)

Specific tasks I'm focused on now:

Finding funding
Ekopedia merger
Porting - esp finding help in converting appropriate PDF documents and web pages to MediaWiki markup.

More

My favorite videos (on appropriate technology etc) are on my Youtube homepage.

Microblogging: Identi.ca & Twitter

Follow me on Identi.ca, an open source microblogging service that gives you more freedom than Twitter (and also lets you link to Twitter). But I use the same usernames on Twitter:

I manage Appropedia's Identica account and Twitter account, and my personal Identica account and Twitter account. Below are the Twitter feeds:

Feel free to look at or use anything from my Content ideas.

More extensive drafts, and draft postings for other sites, will be posted at my Sandbox.

In particular, note:

Personal stuff: More about me - an untidy page of trimmings from this page; and "Chris Watkins" - a page I made long ago to help anyone who might be looking for me :).

-== Appropedia Internship ==
-Chris,
-My name is Ashley and I am a very interested in your internship for the new year. I have over a year experience as an employed writer and am currently employed as a writer at Humboldt State University's Marketing and Communications Department. The position is only valid for students and I will be graduating this December from HSU with a degree in Journalism, Public Relations emphasis and Creative Writing minor. Therefore, I would be interested in joining the Appropedia team starting January, the new year.
-I have a strong passion for environmental and social change as well as writing and would like to incorporate the two fields in my career. I understand that there is a lot of positive change happening around the world, but because there is a lack of stories and articles written about the changes, people are uninformed.
-Also, I know and am currently writing an article with Lonny Grafman, President of Appropedia about his last visit to the Dominica Republic with HSU students. I have done freelancing for the Eureka Times-Standard as well. I traveled to Japan and reported on the tsunami and earthquake disaster in May.
-I would be honored to help assist in breaking this barrier. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. If you would like to see examples of my work please visit my website, www.ashley-ward.com.
-Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you, Chris.
