Berkman is hosting an event tonight on technology and development w/ Amartya Sen, Yochai, and others, and we're really hoping to reach a global audience (we've partnered with IDRC in Canada and Global Voices to get the word out), but I was wondering if there were folks you might be able to share this information with -- especially abroad -- to see if they might want to join remotely? Thanks!
