I would like to  would like to invite you to an important gathering that mixes digital inclusion for diverse community voices, neighborhood and civic engagement, and open government.

I will be in town briefly to lead the session. A similar gathering in Seattle was a big success with dozens of community organizations attending.

In addition to the public workshop, on the 15th I am hosting a Digital Democracy Drinks gathering at the Clift Hotel :-) in the evening: http://www.facebook.com/events/406747702735646/
