About enviro-geek.net

enviro-geek.net was originally set up as a host for a number of web sites for environmental organisations based in Newcastle, Australia, by Oliver, and naught101. It has since opened up with the hope of furthering all environmental/ecological and social justice struggles in relation to the 'net - but always as a means to an end.

Welcome to enviro-geek.net

Welcome to enviro-geek.net. This site is a place for social justice and environment activists/geeks to network, organise, share knowledge, and to help other groups in these movements use technologies such as the Internet and computers to spread their messages.

The website acts as a networking hub for knowledge and skill sharing for social justice and environment-minded geeks.

enviro-geek.net is run by the enviro-geek collective. We also provide technical support, web hosting and design, email and mailing lists, to not-for-profit social justice and environment groups.

enviro-geek.net is what we make it.

If you have ideas, let us know. If you'd like to get involved there are a number of ways to tell us how:

  • You can sign up and post in the forums, or just post anonymously,
  • You can join the broader networking e-list for sharing ideas, skills and knowledge between geeks and groups by sending a blank email to < network-subscribe AT enviro-geek.net > or by clicking here
  • You can join the collective e-list by clicking here, or sending a blank email to < collective-subscribe AT enviro-geek.net >. You can also email ideas to < collective AT enviro-geek.net >. The collective e-list is mostly about sites hosted on the enviro-geek server.

drupal 5.0

so, drupal 5.0 is almost out! enviro-geek.net is running the first release candidate. as as admin, I like it - it very clean and easy to set up. seems to get easier with each upgrade. the new default theme is a bit chunky, but looks alright.

only problem so far is that a couple of the modules aren't ready, including the all important captcha module - which is why unregistered users can't post yet, unfortunately.

apart from that, let's test it out. any ideas?
