>From Michael Herman:
Hello Friends, Thought some might enjoy seeing this. Would be great if some could join us. This is a direct descendent (but not really a replication, if that makes sense) of the Giving Conference we did last year in Chicago. Many of the participants last year got mixed up in the Omidyar Network (O.Net), named for eBay and Omidyar Network founder Pierre Omidyar. This is one product of the connections and conversations that followed the Giving Conference and mixed into all of what was already going on at O.Net. What I can tell you about O.Net is that the people are great. The projects are diverse and innovative and exciting. The location is Harrison's favorite venue in Chicago. Oh yes, and the theme/purpose ain't bad either: Working Together So That More and More People Discover Their Own Power to Make Good Things Happen. Here's how the invite begins... Please join us for a three-day event of, by and for the Omidyar.net community and friends -- to build our capacity to make good things happen. What: Discovering Our Power to Make Good Things Happen When: July 29-31, 2005 Where: Carleton Hotel, Oak Park, IL (http://www.carletonhotel.com) Details: http://www.omidyar.net/group/conference/ws/invitation Who We Are: Omidyar.net is a new, growing online community. We believe every individual has the power to make a difference. We exist for one single purpose: So that more and more people discover their own power to make good things happen. If you have not joined this community yet, you can go to http://www.omidyar.net/home and check it out. footnote You're Invited: This conference is for Omidyar.net members, friends and other curious do-gooders to come together, make connections, have fun, do as much good work as each and every one of us can... and then go home, more connected, energized and capable of doing more and more of whatever we call good in the world. Come join a good party getting better! ...and bring your good friends, too! Want to see more of the invitation? See http://www.omidyar.net/group/conference/ws/invitation ! Have other questions?
