Dear Liberation Tech Colleagues, After a hiatus of several months, the Ethos Roundtable is reconvening, and we are actively seeking folks to volunteer to be featured guests!
The Ethos Roundtable <http://ethosroundtable.blogspot.com/> is an informal group of people who are interested in 1) measuring and extending ethos, and 2) using technology for positive social change. We meet once a month in the Boston, Massachusetts area for discussions and presentations. Our upcoming events will be scheduled for the late afternoon or early evening, most likely on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in a location that is accessible by public transit. Ethos Roundtable sessions are open to all who are interested in the topic and willing to abide by the principles of civil discourse. The types of participants around the table vary considerably, and attendance ranges from ten to fifty people. There is some possibility that the upcoming sessions will be webcast live and videotaped for future cablecasts. Ethos Roundtable featured guests have brought many different topics to sessions; they range from abstract ideas to proposed projects to demos of completed projects. The ideal featured guest for the Ethos Roundtable is: o Deeply involved in using information and communication technologies for positive social change. o Deeply interested in measuring and expanding ethos. o Located in the greater Boston area, or willing to schedule a slot as a guest presenter while traveling to the greater Boston area. o Willing to give a brief presentation and lead a lively discussion with a voluble, highly interactive group. o Friendly, articulate, spontaneous, funny. The Ethos Roundtable is not - most emphatically not - a platform for any of the following: o Sales pitches o Monologues o Rants I would go so far as to say that PowerPoint presentations almost never work well; we rarely have a featured guest get beyond the third slide, because the group has too many questions and points for discussion to sit through that sort of show. If you are interested in being an Ethos Roundtable presenter this fall or winter please email us off list to let us know what you have in mind. Our addresses are <[email protected]> and <[email protected]>.
