Susan Tenby is the TechSoup Community Manager, where she is responsible for the promotion, management and direction of the TS community forums, with an audience of 100,000 unique visitors a month.
She recently launched a community of over 400 nonprofit staff members and volunteers in Second Life. This community has a shared community blog at and a wiki about nonprofit activities in SL. They have a shared community tagging project using the tag “NPSL” (Nonprofits in Second Life) on sites such as del.icio.us, Technorati and Flickr, weekly in-world meetings, every Friday from 8:30-9:30am PST to teach scripting and best-practices to nonprofits in SL.
She launched a sim in Second Life called The Nonprofit Commons, with the NPSL community, on land and buildings, all donated by Anshe Chung Studios.
This nonprofits-only sim houses 40 organizations, free of charge, to lower the barrier of access to the virtual world.
She runs monthly online community meet-ups in San Francisco. She speaks at conferences (in June, she will be running a panel on Nonprofits in Second Life at Games for Change on Virtual Activism) And she writes on the topic of online community building in its various forms.
Hello Susan nice to be a member of your group.
