Hi Deborah, I would check with your local ASPCA chapter. The aspca.org website might have local listings of events, but I haven't checked. In the case of Boston, this event was scheduled before the hurricane, so it's just a coincidence that they're able to put to good use. ac Deborah

I think that's a good idea, but most of who who happen to live in Boston probably won't be able to attend since we're not registered. So if someone wants to organize a digital divide-related BoF at the conference, please do, but in the meantime we'll organize a DDN member gathering. Right now
