Tonight in Portland, friends of Josh Tickell's Fuel documentary will walk, bike, run, skip, navigate automobiles fueled by biodiesel, and sidle their way to the film's Sneak Preview downtown. It promises to be an exciting event that brings together attendees from many disciplines: software executives, local activists, biodiesel evangelists. You get the idea.

Fuel, which won the Sundance audience award for a Documentary (under the title Fields of Fuel), has been released with wider distribution this fall. The documentary will play in Portland on November 14th, followed by showings in Seattle, Austin, and Bend, OR. Their revamped site has some great interactive tools, including a form for demanding Fuel to be shown in your city, a media section bursting with video, audio and photographs, and various ways to get involved.

You can learn more about the film's premise on the website as well, including activities average film-goers can partake in to help reduce individual and nationwide dependence on fossil fuels.

Tonight's event is completely booked, but mark your calendars for November 14th and check the website for further details.

We're excited to roll out refactors of two sites OpenSourcery had the pleasure of working on in the past. Our clients had very different reasons for reexamining their content and design, but we think both resulted in tangible improvements.

The first redesign, for Fuel, took place because the film has been picked up for broader release. We're very excited for the team over there, and we wish them the best. Check out the website to learn more about times and locations. They've changed the title, revamped the site, added more multimedia, and generally created a more robust user experience.

The second redesign we've rolled out this week comes from Wellgram, which allows users to create email or text message reminders that help them achieve goals, improve self-control, remember important tasks, etc. Most importantly, you can schedule receipt of reminders to keep you on track. Write your own Wellgram here. Our work with Wellgram is another example of an Agile project gone right.

We urge you to check out both sites take advantage of the tools they've made available.
