there is also the european feminist forum coming up, altho i haven't managed to get very informed about it, i just see stuff coming thru the /etc & faces lists ... meanwhile i'm busy busy in my own communities ... h : ) >I am a bit concerned about the relevance and the vitality of >cyberfeminism today.
