Thanks Steve, thanks Tommy, I appreciate the support. Unfortunately, 
like I said in my original post, they were due yesterday, so unless it 
was submitted before midnight last night, the deadline has passed.

Hi, Everybody. Most of you don't know me--I just lurk on Andy's discussion
group. However, I do use the material here. I would like to nominate him for
an award that he posted about. However, in order to do it, I need to give
two or three other names.

If you would be willing to join me, please send me your name, email etc. and
tell me why!

I think this bulletin board is reason enough, but his blog is also excellent
as is his other work.

Please help me nominate Andy!!

Thanks, Tommy (And no, I'm not a guy!)

Hi everyone,

Tomorrow evening, I'll be off to Hungary for a five-day whirlwind tour of
the country's telecottage movement. Telecottages are community technology
centers that address a variety of local development needs, from Internet
literacy training to e-government services. Hungary's telecottage movement
is one of the oldest and best established projects of its kind anywhere in
the world, so I'm really looking forward to visiting.

Matyas Gaspar, founder of the telecottage movement, will be my host for
the week. We'll visit urban telecottages in and around Budapest, as well
as in rural areas in southern Transdanubia, just north of the city of
Pecs. If all goes well I'll get to visit eight or 10 telecottages,
spending the night in at least three different cities (Budapest, Gyorkony
and Alsomocsolad).

Because I'm visiting Hungary for a book I'm editing on community
technology centers around the world, my schedule will be jam-packed with
visits to telecottages, as well as interviews with project staff, local
users and community leaders. I'll also get to field test my new 8.0
megapixel Konica-Minolta dimage A200 digital camera, which I also plan to
use for shooting video blogs.

Since I'll be spending most of my time in telecottages, Internet access
shouldn't be a major dilemma. So I plan to blog as much as possible during
my stay, posting photos, audio and video whenever feasible. So stay tuned
from May 11-15; hopefully I'll have some interesting stories to share
during that time.

Meanwhile, a few days after I get home from Hungary, I'm back on the road
again, this time to give a keynote at the GCC e-government conference in
Dubai from May 20-25. I plan to talk about e-government for all,
including discussing the recent example of the MyPyramid.gov website and
some of the equity challenges facing it. Since Dubai is quite wired as
well, I'll try to blog and podcast whenever possible.

As always, you can find my posts at www.andycarvin.com. A mirror of the
site is also located on DDN at http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/acarvin.
