Projects. When dealing with large, distributed projects we benefit from a certain degree of organization coupled with solid communication. Over the past century we have seen demonstrated a significant improvement in organizational efficiency and general productivity through the use of more specialized, better engineered tools. More recently the web and the related computing and networking advances push the limits of data integration and real-time communication. What does all this mean? We can actually know what is happening and where within our organizations and simultaneously experience the situation on the ground. Thereby we are able to provide a positive influence on the realities within our communities.
Collaborate. Use the Activity Stream to keep the teams updated in real time. Have collective conversations with the Forum. Create categories as you need them, when you need them. Write articles, and work together to publish works to your colleagues or even to the public-at-large ...
We have launched an iCoalesce package geared to help non-profit organizations more effectively manage grant and program evaluation as well as more general intra-organizational collaboration. Please take a look at www.icoalesce.com/icoalesce/
We have complete the implemention of the intial release of the new analysis system in iCoalesce. This will allow our users to create far more extensive analyses than our previous system, while still retaining the soft-real time capabilities. We have also included the ability to templatize reports and run periodic reports using previously defined analyses sections. This is something of a quantum leap in functionality over the old system and we are really excited by the extensibility built in. In addition, we have coupled this with a distributed computational backend that handles the actual work so its far more scalable too.
I have put together a few graphs generated by the system so you can see what we mean.
We are working on implementing new analysis routines beyond the basics we have now and plan to include geographic methods and much more. If you need a custom routine or set ...
Our new survey and data collection system is complete! We have replaced our previous system that had been in use for 3 years or so with a newly expanded version that will allow us to add new question types and data fields far more easily than our old system. In addition, we have a far more efficient storage mechanism that results in faster operation while using less drive space. All around a fine improvement.
We hope you enjoy the new interface!
Known as quantumsummers in the Gentoo community, Matthew Summers has released a new package development repository initially focusing on the distributed task queue named celery, and some of its dependencies not available in the current Portage tree. The goal of this initial round of development is:
- Inclusion in the official Gentoo Portage tree.
- Continued development of the software ecosystem around celery itself (i.e. supports django, pylons, flask, and others via webhooks)
- Experimentation, benchmarking, stability analysis, and other fun.
Follow the overlay using gitweb or layman. More information can be found on:

iCoalesce changes the way you think about grant evaluating and not soon enough. Since the economic downturn, winning and evaluating grants requires clear statements of goals and objectives as well as how they are to be measured. Our specialized goal tree package allows grant writers and evaluators to enter grant structures directly into a secure project. iCoalesce streamlines the evaluation process with our report generator, analytic routines, and our customizable survey creation, distribution, and data collection system. To tie it all together each project includes a suite of communication and management tools including project news announcements, forum, to-do lists, automatic notifications and much more. Finally a software service made with grant evaluators in mind.
Goal Tree Evaluations
Every grant proposal uses a variant of the structure of goals, objectives, activities and performance measures. With the increased competition in recent years grantors now require a clear statement of goals, outcomes and ...
No news is generally considered good news, but in the tech world this assumption fails. Liquidus has been busy, working stealthily to create industry-changing solutions across many spheres. Why industry-changing? Because better, more intelligent, and more efficient solutions are absolutely required to compete in the 21st century business environment.
What on Earth have you been doing, you may ask?
First item on the list is a major new release of our flagship web application suite called iCoalesce. We have merged the concepts of a social virtual workspace, with superb project management, and high performance computing into one secure, web-enabled platform.
The second item on the list would have to be within AgentNation, a social media integrated digital marketing portfolio management system we created in partnership with Nation Services, Inc. As AgentNation is gearing up for a market challenge Liquidus has incorporated functionality that will allow for serious scalability across the ...
