I'm super stoked to announce that InterTwinkles has hired Mary Regan, Kendra Moyer and Noah Swartz to work on outreach, organizing, documentation and user testing for InterTwinkles over the next three months.  Together we're going to be forging forth with the goal of setting up a cluster-based decision making process in Boston this summer among Boston area cooperative houses, something I'll talk about in more detail in coming posts.

Mary brings deep expertise with community organizing, and several years of direct experience living in Boston co-ops. She'll be helping with recruiting, workshop facilitation, and more.

Kendra brings substantial experience in working with activists to make effective use of technology for organizing. She'll be helping with documentation, end-user tech support, among other things.

Noah brings programming experience and experience with organizing technology workshops.  He'll be will be helping out with usability testing and extending InterTwinkles into other platforms.
