We're sitting here at Isen's Freedom to Connect Conference in DC (er... Silver Spring, MD in the AFI Silver Theatre) where Jim Baller just spoke along with Tery Huvel of LUS. Also just spoke with Wendy Wigen of http://www.EduCause.edu, and J.H Snider of New America Foundation.
There is a live audio feed at: http://freedom-to-connect.net/ Listen in! Most of the folks here are on the same page. But everyone here is asking the question: what do we do? It's not clear that we have the answer... We all have great ideas as to what the world of communications infrastructure should look like, but the question resides in the political sphere. How can communities respond with strategies to protect their rights, or to coordinate their efforts? As they don't have an answer for us here in DC, I invite you to Open Space Austin at the end of the month where Community ICT leaders will forge a coordinated response. http://www.openspaceaustin.net ______________________________________________________________ Michael Maranda President, The Association For Community Networking (AFCN) President, CTCNet Chicago Chapter Co-Chair, Illinois Community Technology Consortium (ilCTC) Vice President, NPOTechs http://www.afcn.org http://www.ctcnetchicago.org http://www.npotechs.org http://www.ilctc.org Come to Open Space Austin - Community ICT Leadership Summit: http://www.openspaceaustin.net/ _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
