Hi everyone,
At 7pm on Thursday, April 6, I'm going to be giving a preview of my new
book, "From the Ground Up: Evolution of the Telecentre Movement," at the
Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Every Thursday, a group
of local bloggers get together to discuss Internet issues, and I'll be
talking about the book for this week's meeting.
The book, edited by me and Mark Surman of Telecentre.org, explores the
diversity of public computing initiatives around the world, examining
the common visions and goals that unite them. It's intended to inspire
technology activists to realize that they're part of a worldwide
movement to bridge the digital divide, rather than working in isolation.
The book will be distributed this spring by IDRC in Canada, but for now
you can review a very large PDF version (It's around 10 megabytes - a
necessary evil given the hundreds of photographs in the book.) An
accessible HTML version will be made available when IDRC begins
distributing the book.

I've also posted screen shots from the book on my blog:

If you happen to be in the Boston area, please feel free to join us
Thursday evening at Berkman. It'll take place at 7 PM at Baker House,
1587 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, north of Harvard Square. Hope to
see some of you there!
thanks,
andy
