Morgan Sully - Community Technologist for the Public Good and Creative Commons
In less than 30 hours (!) I am trying to raise $1500 to fund a trip through Europe to tell the stories of social change makers and social innovators in creative spaces. I’m really excited about this project and have gotten an amazing amount of financial and moral support from all kinds of awesome people. This project will only be funded if at least $1,500 is pledged by Jul 04, 12:00am…
I’m proud to say that the project I was serving as Project Champion for at Netsquared won a $5000 FACT Social Justice Award!

Hi Interwebz! I want to go to Europe this summer to make and learn about the electronic arts with local organizations, events and communities:
MY GOAL IS TO LEVERAGE MY MUSIC AND SOCIAL NETWORKS TO TOUR AND DOCUMENT CREATIVE COMMUNITIES THROUGH EUROPE
I know it will require a lot of work, but this is something [...]
I’m a community technology activist and believe that access to knowledge is a key factor in reaching our potential as humans. Lately, I’ve had a few ideas running around in my head.
bridging the work of old school activists (knowledge, history, experience) with new school activists (enthusiasm, technical aptitude, hyperconnected online and off)
listservs as ’spinal cords’ [...]

This past week, I got invited to be a Project Champion for NetSquared’s N2Y4 Mobile Development Challenge. With some nice great encouragement from Beth Kanter, Amy Sample Ward and Justin Massa, I decided to become the Champion for Digital Democracy’s Handheld Human Rights.
From the project description:
“Handheld Human Rights provides a secure hub for groups around [...]
When I served as an AmeriCorps CTC VISTA Leader, I mailed a package to all of my VISTAs introducing myself and giving them an exercise* I found invaluable during my own Year of Service. I called it a ‘Purpose Keeping’ exercise - basically, it’s a mission statement generator that uses this formula: i.e.
[your unique [...]
Just a brief post. Some downloadable goodies at the end of the post too.
“On Monday, we had our first meeting as a collective to come up with a strategy and plan for promoting and supporting local electronic music communities in the East Bay Area (Oakland, Berkeley, Downtown, etc.).”
During my work with NAMAC, I created a ‘Social Media Engagement Cycle’ template in order to communicate with my supervisors just how we might dive in to using blogs, RSS, Facebook and Twitter to engage with our members. Inspired by Beth Kanter’s post ‘How Much time Does it Take to Do Social Media’ I thought I’d remix it specifically for electronic musicians and provide a template for online electronic musicians to use in promoting what’s important to them - moving from gathering online information and transitioning into offline knowledge exchange.
Mix I made while waiting. I was anxious to get the party started - I mean, c’mon, Loco Dice’s mix of Hard South Americans AND the Claude von Stroke mix of Samim’s Heater? The toms of Danilo Vigorito’s Heka Dark Side took it to a darker place while Slutbox’s Filthy Fibber into Stimming’s The Anger [...]
This is a new dj mix I recently completed on behalf of an electronic music collective I’m forming with my buddies Aaron and Monk. We aim to support and promote local, East Bay Area (Oakland, Berkeley, Albany, etc.) electronic music communities by:
producing electronic music events
marketing and promoting local electronic music artists
connecting these audiences and artists [...]

This was a track I made shortly after seeing Chris Clark. I really liked his dense, gritty textures found on ‘Empty the Bones of You‘ and attempted to emulate a little bit of that in this track. The opening bar is me beatboxing into a MicroKorg vocoder. I made heavy use of [...]
…so many different styles of music you know?
Recently, I got this SWEEET track - a remix of another track called ‘Community 2007′ from Audio Soul Project. A duo I really like called Peace Division did the remix and a fellow named Ron Carroll penned the lyrics.
I think the lyrics really say it all.
