[David Sasaki]

Dear All,

A full announcement is available here:

You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and by subscribing to our newly launched Transparency Podcast:

We would be grateful if you could help spread awareness about this new project and community by posting links via Twitter, Facebook, mailing lists, and blog posts.

These are busy days at Global Voices. We are currently concentrating most of our time and resources on covering and amplifying the voices of Haitian citizens following the earthquake there. Our managing director, Georgia Popplewell, will soon be in Haiti herself to cover citizen voices on the ground. Stay up to date with our thorough special coverage page:

We also have our eyes on the Google in China story. Managing editor Solana Larsen is maintaining a helpful and informative special coverage page:

All the best,

Hi, everyone!

My name is Daniela and I am from Brazil. I am a co-founder of Esfera, a think tank that engages groups in the society to work with open government data and public information on the network. There is a little bit more about what we do here: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/12/02/brazil-hacking-for-transparency-and-the-right-to-information/

I would like to congratulate David and everybody else on the team for the Transparency for Technology Network website. And also to let you all know you can count on us to take part on this project and to exchange information about transparency and political action here in Brazil :)

Cheers,

Daniela Silva
