A short description
Ivan Boothe is the creative director of Rootwork.org and a co-organizer of PDXTech4Good. I work as a freelance Drupal developer and online organizer, and I am the online communications associate for the Fellowship of Reconciliation. I'm active in the Nonprofit Technology Network and NetSquared communities and have presented in the past at the Nonprofit Technology Conference and Drupalcon.
I was a co-founder of the Genocide Intervention Network (now United to End Genocide), and sit on the board of the Peace and Justice Studies Association. I have led community organizing workshops at the U.S. Social Forum, the New Organizing Institute and the Gandhi-King Conference, and I was a community organizer with Casino-Free Philadelphia. I graduated from Swarthmore in 2005 with a degree in peace and conflict studies, and authored a thesis on third-party nonviolent intervention.
Back in 2003, I was part of a collective known as Why War? that launched nationwide electronic civil disobedience against voting machine manufacturer Diebold.
In addition to my technical work, I am a semi-professional handbell musician. You can follow me on Twitter or browse my presentations on Slideshare. Say hello!
