Lots of news to report. First, it's looking like the CSI board is going to approve our petition for charter, so we can finally get down to the business of community building with some legitimacy.

Second, we've added an amazing team member to the staff of CSINext...Mr. Daniel Hargreaves, JoomlaJedi. Daniel is nothing short of amazing when it comes to coding in Joomla (the CSIN site is built on Joomla). Daniel's helped many a brick and mortar chapter get their web stuff together.

Speaking of Daniel, check out the cool little link button at the lower left hand of the site...for iP2Map...a wicked cool little website that displays the last 100 visitors to CSINext as a graphical world map.

Last night we had a visitor to the CSIN site from Thailand. I'm looking forward to the day when we can applaud the formation of a CSIN sub-chapter in Thailand so we can all grab some Pad Thai and toast the Institute being a truly international orginization.

Lastly, we're still looking for help in the areas of web tech support, social media outreach and some other details as we continue the roll out process. Please let me know if you can help us out. Email me at info at csinext.org.

It's starting to get really exciting here...Stay Tuned!
