PowerBase site visit notes

Read about some recent site vists with PowerBase pilot groups over on the CiviCRM blog:

Here’s an excerpt:

The Progressive Technology Project (PTP) has a pilot project running using Powerbase, an enhanced version of CiviCRM for base-building community organizing groups. I am responsible for two of the four sites, a community group in Oakland and one in San Diego. I did a site visit last week and wanted to share some of the feedback I received with the community here. As PTP further develops this database project, we hope to keep contributing to CiviCRM and we thought sharing what comes up could be one way for us to do that.

    I’m working on developing a new platform for promoting, organizing and running campaigns- I’m calling it the Dayton Process for now: http://esrati.com/?p=3696
    I’d like to start working with Powerbase- after a pretty difficult experience with CiviCRM- and finding that the modules that we needed had been left behind: http://esrati.com/?p=2960
    Our main problem may be getting our database hooked into the Board of Elections DB. In Ohio- it’s up to each County to choose their own vendor for voter data- and there are 5 to choose from (totally inefficient).
    Thank you for working on this- it’s greatly needed.
