>Hi,
>
>As you may know, I've been participating in a fairly low-volume
>distribution list of people who are interested in research *and*
>activism around the themes of democratic communication technology. The
>main point of this note is to ask you if you'd like to join. Although
>the details are on our (in-work) web site (www.scn.org/tech/the_network)
>I'll mention some of main ideas in this note.
>
>We started the group nearly two years ago and now have about 35 people
>participants from 14 countries on 4 continents. Our aims are to build
>a research + activism network that will be useful to its participants
>and to positively influence work in cyberspace and other communication
>arenas. Our first event was a workshop in Seattle (November, 1998)
>entitled "Designing Across Borders: The Community Design of Community
>Networks" (www.scn.org/tech/the_network/Proj/ws98/index.html.) and a
>second one "Broadening Our Understanding: Community Networks and Other
>Forms of Computer Supported Community Work" is scheduled for September,
>1999 in Copenhagen (www.scn.org/tech/the_network/Proj/ws99/index.html).
>Many papers from the Seattle workshop will be published in SIGGROUP
>this fall. As far as we know, there is no other group precisely like ours.
>
>Each one of us is now asking other people if they would like to join.
>Our thought is that if we can get 100 or even 200 people, our network
>can be stronger -- and more useful -- both to us as researchers and
>activists and to the broader society. We hope that our work on this
>network will result in new journals and working projects, workshops and
>conferences, and other creative and influential collaborative
>enterprises.
>
>Help make this effort a success!
>
>Please let me know if we can add your name to our group. You can also
>get in touch with Doug Schuler (douglas@scn.org) who is maintaining our
>distribution list. Please get back to me with any questions, comments,
>or suggestions.
>
>Thanks!!
