“Great White Buffalo — A term for “the one that got away”. Used without explanation in the movie “Hot Tub Time Machine”.”
How much time do you spent doing projects you truly love? The ones that you want to share with your friends and family? Do you feel you do those enough? Do you have a dream project that keeps getting away from you and haunts you in your dreams?
These questions led me on my quest to find and catch my Great White Buffalo, CFCommunity; A WordPress powered social network for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis.
By the end of my presentation I hope to have provided you (and your team) enough knowledge, tools and inspiration to start hunting for your Great White Buffalo.
If you’ve already found your Great White Buffalo, here’s an overview of some of the technical things I’ll cover:
- How we use WordPress and BuddyPress for our social network
- Project management solutions like Slack, Trello and GitHub
- Social Media Strategy
- Crowdfunding (IndieGogo) and accepting donations on your WordPress site
