Transition Social Network Communications Using Skype
Skype is the official phone and conference calling tool for our social networks.
- Install Skype -- Free calls and conference calls for skype-to-skype users. Set up LSquiresSkype as a Contact and call me with questions about Transition. I'll help you set up conference calls with your initiators, friends, family, committees, workgroups and virtual special interest groups. Communication is my passion and my contribution to Transitioners.
- Skype calls to landlines and cell phones -- Need to call non-Skype phones? Set up a pre-paid account. Call me if you have questions how pre-paids differ from skype-to-skype free accounts. Very handy when I was 4 months in India last year and called clients back in the U.S. at 2.1 cents a minute. This is how Skype can afford to give free service to skype-to-skype users. Skype me at LSquiresSkype if you have further questions.
Latest Activity
Transition Putney is in the pre-initiating phase. 55 people attended our TT information session Nov. 10, and 35 attended our book group (Transition Handbook) on Nov. 24.
We plan to form an initiating group in late December.

I just looked at the Post Oil Solutions page that we put up earlier this week and saw that it had us at 5 members. I don't know where that came from, but certainly not from me. Anyway, could we get that straightened out to have it read 25? Thanks, Les.
One we get past the Bradford LEAF event, I'll have a little more time to look into how the Transition Vermont site works and figure out a few of its features. My life goes in cycles these days -- busy on solar projects in the summer and fall, and more time for building community and awareness work in the winter. Soon, I'll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule, and will become a more regular visitor here.
Clear skies,

This week I filmed as much as I could of the Montpelier Village Building Convergence and I hope to make a video to both promote next years convergence, as well as inspire other communities to host their own convergence and spread the word about Transition Towns. I am open to any suggestions about this project or future ones!
Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to best utilize this common resource. And yes, I use Skype quite a bit these days. It will be great when it incorporates multiple video conferencing. Tokbox does this, but the sound is not great. Still a great tool for networking and support.
