Hi all,

So... I've been talking to a few people over the past few weeks, and
it looks like eDemocracyCamp is actually going to happen:

  eDemocracyCamp
  March 1-2, 2008
  Washington DC

There are 30 days left between now and the event, and a lot of things
still need to be done. We're working hard to pull it off.

Here's how you can help (please do):

1.  Get the word out.
2.  Connect us with someone active in the field (e.g. a person or
organization in the political, government, non-profit, or web/tech
sector who has a thing or two to say and share around e-democracy).
3.  Volunteer (core team needs 2-3 more people).
4.  Recruit a sponsor (for venue, cash, or in-kind donations).
5.  Sign up and participate.

You can point people to the following online resources for more info
and RSVP:

*  http://twitter.com/edemocracycamp
*  http://groups.google.com/group/edemocracycamp/

There are currently 40+ people signed up (both on the wiki and
Facebook), and we'd certainly like to grow that number to appropriate
barcamp size.  ;-)

Any questions, let me know.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Look forward to seeing some of you in March.

Tim

Please note the schedule update!

Kick-off get-together is now Saturday, March 1 at 8pm (move from
Friday, April 29).
Sessions will be on Sunday, March 2 (from about 9am to 5pm).

We decided that at currently about 100 sign-ups it's ok to do one day
of sessions only.  There is still a good chance we'll organize
something for Saturday afternoon (for anyone who's in town and wants
to meet up).  Watch the wiki etc. for updates.

Thanks,
Tim
