Transition Network is now completely re-doing its web platform, and as part of this, we have a position for 3 months for someone to project manage the first stage of this process. This is a really exciting opportunity for the right person to work for the Network and to shape something which is key to the future success of the organisation. Whoever gets the position will be formalising team structures and people, gathering requirements, evaluating potential solutions, identifying quick win solutions for one area of functionality, making final recommendations to the steering group and Transition Network board and helping interview and select an implementation manager for the ongoing project. For more information, see here.

It has long been a source of frustration that Transition Network has been unable to produce a regular newsletter of some kind to enable Transitionistas of various hues to keep in touch with each other and with events, news and developments across the network. Now we need no longer bemoan its non-existence, as Transition Network News is now here! Mike Grenville of Transition Forest Row has nobly stepped into the breach and taken on the task of ensuring that once a month, you all can get a nutritious Transition snack, a satisfying digest of all that is good and delicious out there in Transition Land. You can see October’s newsletter (Mike’s first) here, and the main page, which will be updated with news as and when it arrives here. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, so that it appears miraculously in your email once a month, click here. Our thanks to Mike for providing this wonderful service. If you want anything to go in November’s newsletter, please email your stories and news to Mike.

Here are the Minutes from the recent Transition Network Structure Document Strategy Day at the Full Moon in Bristol. The day was the last round of the discussion on this key document, and it was very productive. The final version is now in preparation and will be available soon. This has been a fascinating process, one which has involved many peoples’ comments and input. When the final document emerges (as it will soon) It will be very useful, and I look forward to its regular revision, keeping it fresh and up to date. Thanks to everyone who made it to Bristol and to everyone who contributed to the Transition Chat on the subject a couple of days prior to that.

Communities plan for a low-energy future
‘Transition initiatives,’ begun in Britain, aim to empower people to tackle effects of climate change and decline of oil.
By Judith D. Schwartz |The Christian Science Monitor/ September 11, 2008 edition
A year ago, Pat Proulx-Lough felt so overwhelmed by reports about climate change that she couldn’t even listen to the news. “My husband was finishing a dissertation on water resources, and I became hopeless and fearful,” says Ms. Proulx-Lough, a therapist in Portland, Maine.
Fast-forward to summer ’08 and Proulx-Lough is not just hopeful, but excited about the future. What happened? She tapped into the Transition movement.
