Tri ang u lus

Annie Dunn Watson's endorsement of Triangulus (formerly Green Mountain Linux) taken verbatim from her letter to us on August 14th, 2006:

When we approached Joe Golden at Green Mountain Linux and told him what we wanted to do with our website, he said, “If I can help you guys, I can help anybody!” Far from being insulted, we were, in fact, relieved. I had only been working on websites for about 7 months, and as would-be editor of the revised and updated Vermont Peak Oil Network site, I had to be brought up to speed fairly quickly. The software I had been using to design the original site was more like word processing; drupal technology was a whole new ball of wax (and a lot of other stuff I don’t usually keep in the kitchen).

We enjoyed working with the Vermont Peak Oil Network and helping them consider options for energizing their community through their website. Their website is intuitive and easily navigable and has a wealth of useful information for their networking members. They were interested in bringing in an interactive component to allow their users to synthesize, cooperate and share to build ideas and connections online.

The VPON Regional Groups have a lot of folks with great ideas who have done valuable research and thinking on the topic of Peak Oil. Allowing their groups to share ideas and viewpoints online helps VPON members accomplish their goals and will provide valuable information to others around the globe. Some of the initial consultation on the site and the underlying architecture was done in collaboration with the Post Carbon Institue, of Vancouver, British Columbia.

Some of the local groups of VPON are affiliated with PCI and we wanted to be able to maintain connections between their site the new VPON site.

We wish VPON all the best in their endeavors.
