Re: [projectvrm] CiviCRM in the UK

[Kaliya < >]

Planetwork - http://www.planetwork.net, the community that I began my journey 
into the world of the technology and identity (they published the Augmented 
Social Network White paper - http://asn.planetwork.net). 

The network has been dormant for about 5 years and Jim the found is "back" 
from spending time building a biochar company he just sold and we are working 
on rebuilding the network and considering how we collaborate a project that 
are thinking about networks of civil society groups focused on local and 
sustainable economies. 

We are currently planning to "get started again" with a CRM system that talks 
to VRM tools.  We are committed to open source so looking at CiviCRM and 
SugarCRM seriously.  We would like to collaborate with others looking at 
similar use cases. 

I am CCing Jim Fournier and Lee Buric on this e-mail.
