PlaNetwork Conference 2004 in San Francisco #

The 2004 PlaNetwork Conference is next weekend, June 5-7, 2004, at the GoldenGateClub in SanFrancisco. This will be the place to gather to talk about the upcoming election, OnlineActivism, EnvironmentalSustainability?, SocialJustice?, and applying technology towards furthering all of these causes. JoanBlades? of MoveOn and BenCohen (the "Ben" in Ben & Jerry's) of TrueMajority will be keynoting this year. (1FT)

As I mentioned previously, BlueOxenAssociates is codesigning this year's event with TomorrowMakers. The InterActive component is going to be a great place for people to gather, learn, and make connections (both the personal and the knowledge kinds). It will also be a great demonstration of some of the hybrid collaborative processes I've talked about so often in this blog and elsewhere. (1FU)

We'll also be demonstrating the first prototypes of the IdentityCommons system. More on this later. (1FV)

We've set up a conference Wiki for the event itself and also for conversing before and after the event. We also have an IRC channel on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net, #planetwork) with logs. I'll be on that channel a lot over the next week or so, so be sure to drop by and say hello. Finally, if you plan to blog about the conference yourself, please see PlaNetwork:BloggingTheConference. (1FW)

I hope to see many of you there. It will be a great opportunity to meet, organize, have fun, and do lots of good. (1FX)
