phases

From Jason's notes and our discussions, I came up with a sort of lifecycle for how I think we could engage.

(CONCEPTUALIZE)

ACT
ORGANIZE
PUBLICIZE
MOBILIZE
STABILIZE
TELL

As I see it, we're currently in the conceptualize phase, and will continue throughout (don't think of the waterfall lifecycle--one of these does not have to be complete for the next one to begin...in actuality, as one stage is reached, it will in all likelihood continue from that point forward).

Act is what we're beginning soon--the process of actually doing something, followed by figuring how to involve others, letting them know how they can be involved, getting them involved, figuring out how to make involvement an ongoing (enduring) thing, and then communicating the stories of people (allowing the lonely to be heroes to others--think George Dawson from "Life is So Good" or Zoe)
