00:00:01,107 --> 00:00:03,335
For almost 10 years the Zeitgeist Movement

2
00:00:03,446 --> 00:00:06,166
has been working to help
create relevant social change

3
00:00:06,369 --> 00:00:08,812
and the proof of a post-scarcity society,

4
00:00:08,953 --> 00:00:11,569
structured to bring out the
best of the human condition.

5
00:00:12,276 --> 00:00:13,606
In this ongoing development,

6
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:16,910
changing, updating, and perfecting
our methods and strategy

7
00:00:17,064 --> 00:00:19,030
is critical. As such,

8
00:00:19,243 --> 00:00:22,424
it is apparent that an update to
the Movement’s web infrastructure

9
00:00:22,535 --> 00:00:23,930
is now critical.

10
00:00:24,196 --> 00:00:27,784
The newly formed Zeitgeist
Movement’s 501c3 non-profit

11
00:00:27,969 --> 00:00:30,436
is hard at work on how
to best accomplish this

12
00:00:30,584 --> 00:00:32,590
in an efficient and affordable manner,

13
00:00:32,793 --> 00:00:34,520
but needs community support.

14
00:00:35,033 --> 00:00:38,867
The goal is not only comprehensive
revision of our global websites,

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,396
integrating them for better access and ease,

16
00:00:41,538 --> 00:00:45,298
but also to develop a powerful
new online chapter network,

17
00:00:45,501 --> 00:00:48,720
that will relieve chapter
coordinators from the financial burden

18
00:00:48,867 --> 00:00:51,440
of hosting, and administrative tedium.

19
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:55,489
As of now, TZM’s hundreds of
chapter websites are detached

20
00:00:55,650 --> 00:00:57,938
and locally and independently.

21
00:00:58,510 --> 00:00:59,556
With this new approach

22
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:02,000
the easy-to-use front-end interface

23
00:01:02,123 --> 00:01:05,698
facilitated via this new NPO-hosted platform,

24
00:01:05,858 --> 00:01:09,581
will make managing a chapter
site far easier and integrated,

25
00:01:09,692 --> 00:01:11,932
and with no cost to the chapter.

26
00:01:12,215 --> 00:01:14,664
This will reduce the stress of coordination,

27
00:01:14,855 --> 00:01:17,021
thereby freeing up volunteer time

28
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:19,643
that could be better spent on other efforts.

29
00:01:20,418 --> 00:01:22,769
As far as the global website revision,

30
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:26,572
full dynamic and responsive
integration of existing websites,

31
00:01:26,812 --> 00:01:28,769
improving community-based features,

32
00:01:29,076 --> 00:01:31,495
will allow us to grow and share ideas

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,276
in a much more fluid, organic manner.

34
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:36,707
This also includes dramatic improvement

35
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:40,092
in SEO, security, and data redundancy,

36
00:01:40,215 --> 00:01:42,547
improving overall integrity.

37
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,781
If you would like to help fund this promising
new web development for the Movement,

38
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,553
bringing this TZM international
community closer together

39
00:01:50,787 --> 00:01:53,452
to organize and work towards a better world,

40
00:01:53,606 --> 00:01:55,003
then please contribute today
