[Greenbuilding] Help needed during Greenbuild... (And separately, perhaps someone out there is a programmer?)

[Allison Friedman]

My company will be at Greenbuild (booth #187 - come visit!), and we need
extra pairs of hands.  Right now, I am the only person coming to the show,
and I need to both staff our booth and make sure that we let all of the
other exhibitors know who we are.  I personally said hello to all exhibiting
companies last year and gave each  a card and our cool recycled pen - It
took me 16 hours alone!  But some of these people have become warm
supporters of what we do, so I don't  want to miss out on having someone do
some outreach.  

 

Briefly, Rate It Green is an online resource for everyone interested in
green building.  The site offers a directory of green building related
products and services, and we encourage people to rate and review these
items so we can all share information and shorten each other's learning
curves.  Companies can put themselves in the system for free and add more
content, but the site can act as a basic directory even if we let people
know that the products and services are out there.  Our goal is really to
list everything represented as green.  The site also hosts a forum (back up
and fully integrated with the site this coming Monday!) where people can
both ask and answer questions or discuss any green building-related topic.
The idea is just to offer a place for people to connect and share, and grow
really.  

 

Email me if you are in the Chicago area or will be for the show.  Even a
couple of hours can help!  I have free expo passes that they allow me to
give out, and I will pay for your time.  I have had great success with both
volunteer and paid helpers in the past.  I need about fifteen minutes to
train you on our frequently asked questions - and that's it.  We have made
great friends this way!

 

Also - I need some programming/database help, and I neglected to mention
this recently when I posted.  We are an asp site with a Sequel Server and a
My SQL database (hope I got that right - I don't program - unfortunately!)
Thanks to everyone who wrote in before!  We are working with some people
from this forum and will likely work with a few more as well.  I really
enjoy this community.
