Southern Cross Community Enterprises - New Online Raffle Site Launched
Early this year Southern Cross Community Enterprises' (SCCE) Founder Chris Ross came to Energetica with the vision of creating an online raffle system to support the not-for-profit and community sector. Chris wanted to create an online system that could support these organisations by providing them with the online infrastructure that so many organisations struggle to afford.
The first step in the process was to create a system to support not-for-profits in the area that causes these organisations the biggest headache, raising funds! Through their Players Charity Choice concept, winners of each online raffle nominate a percentage of the draws funds to be donated to the organisation of their choice.
Organisations can take advantage of this great online system in a number of ways:
- Buy tickets and encourage others to buy tickets in the raffles - if you win you choose your charity, or talk to SCCE about how your organisation can receive a proportion of every ticket your supporters buy;
- Join the SCCE Network - joining the network and pledging your support for the organisation allows you to benefit from an online presence and other great SCCE initiatives; or
- Invest in the SCCE organisation - your support could be publicised on lottery tickets, on the web site and on other promotional material.

National Herbalists Association of Australia Website Launched!
The Energetica team are proud to have worked with the National Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA) to complete their beautiful website.

For the NHAA team it was a choice between persevering with Joomla! or looking at another Content Management System. Fortunately they found us!

Is Watching your Students on Twitter Ok?
This week is National Privacy Awareness week. Privacy is a thing I think about a lot in our line of work. It’s an issue that arises every day. In recent weeks several examples have arisen. I’ll blog on those over the next few days.
At a seminar on Accessibility, I spoke about Gov 2.0 issues including social media. Someone asked “We are watching what our students say about us through Twitter. Is that ethical?"
We need an 'I kind of agree with your T&C' button
Terms and conditions are the things that “manage” privacy online. They are everywhere and I agree to one set or other at least once a week.
I had a recent twitter conversation with @kalska about T&C. She suggested that instead of an “I have read and agree with the T&C” button we need an “I haven’t read and may not agree but I want to continue anyway” button. I thought we also needed an “I have read and with a few changes I’ll agree with it” button.These buttons are a legally binding contracts and if everyone really read them all we’d not sign up for much.

When Clouds Breach Privacy Legislation
The Cloud presents a whole other set of privacy issues. If you have a list of your contacts members or clients on google docs – do you know where in the world it is located? And if it is not located in Australia chances are, you are in breach of Privacy Legislation.
This is a real problem with “in the cloud” systems and SAAS. Where is your data? – the personal info of your clients, contacts, members, donors, etc.
