The Orton Foundation is inviting cities to participate in a beta test of a software package for community planning.
The Orton Family Foundation will be issuing a nationwide limited release of CommunityViz Version 1.0, a software package for community planning, during the first half of 2001. The CommunityViz Limited Release will consist of phased releases around the country, with each release preceded by a 3-day training session held at to-be-determined locations. Training sessions will begin in mid-March 2001. There are substantial benefits to participating in the CommunityViz limited release program. Participants will have the opportunity to join eight beta-test teams this summer in working with this revolutionary new software, and form the nucleus of a new CommunityViz user group. Participants will receive the software, training, documentation and technical support from the Orton Family Foundation.
Thanks to The Orton Family Foundation
