NetSquared chat logs posted
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, nptech, rants on June 1, 2007
Thanks to Tantek Çelik for setting up a wiki for us at NetSquared.pbwiki.com. I have posted partial chat transcripts there on the N2Y2 page. Here’s day 1 and day 2.
I made these transcripts by just copying the log whenever I remembered, so there are some gaps especially at the beginning. Please fill [...]
Mind the gap, part 1
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, NTC, nptech on May 30, 2007
This is the first part of a rant I have been mulling over for about 3 years now. I want to get it up before the end of the event, so I will save my proposal for a second post. Cross-posted at www.netsquared.org/blog/rubyji/mind-gap-part-1
Advanced nonprofit technology practitioners need a place to connect and [...]
Following NetSquared
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, nptech on May 29, 2007
So NetSquared is going well. As expected: tons of great people and too much information (in a good way). I’ve been posting updates on Twitter, you can see mine and other people’s comments at twitter.com/NetSquared/with_friends
I also started a new “back channel” as the official IRC wasn’t working for everyone. We’re using the [...]
NetCubed

I’ll be getting up veeery early tomorrow morning to head west for the second annual NetSquared conference-thingy. Last year’s event had a profound effect on me. It’s where I first started using Second Life , and it’s where I had the opportunity to deepen my relationship with the brilliant Micah Sifry which [...]
Widgets for change
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in Advocacy 2.0, NET2, nptech on May 23, 2007
In honor of the launch of Change.org’s new political actions tools and of the fact that I am going the be the “project champion” for the Genocide Intervention Network next week at NetSquared, here’s a widget that brings them both together.
The Genocide Intervention Network envisions a world in which the global community is willing and [...]
A collective “nice to meet you”
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, nptech, rants on June 2, 2006
It seems like after every conference I come away with a handful of business cards and the intention to follow up with lots of new people and possibilities. However, my intention does not always translate into action. Although I still hope to contact these folks and/or blog about about all the cool things [...]
Thanks for making it happen with me
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, nptech on June 2, 2006
I just got home after a very long day of inter-coastal travel. I will post a longer thing tommorrow about the rest of the awesome people I met at NetSquared.
So I was recruited to lead a Making it Happen: Tips & Tricks session at NetSquared. I called it: how to be more cause-based, [...]
Whew!
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, rants on May 31, 2006
NetSquared was one of the best conferences I’ve been to in years. I kept having experiences that were so interesting I wanted to blog about them but the coolness didn’t stop and I was torn between doing cool stuff and blogging about it. (Yes I am a geek!)
There were just as many cool [...]
Lessons learned
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, nptech, rants on May 31, 2006
Tim Bishop (aka Geodog) took some great Notes from the Activism session at NetSquared on Tuesday. I think our session “Activism: when emailing your congressperson doesn’t quite feel like enough…” went well, but after attending “Gender and the social web: new tools, same…stuff?” I think it could have been organized much better to have [...]
Business panel
Posted by Ruby Sinreich in NET2, rants on May 31, 2006
This morning’s NetSquared panel is three white guys in suits talking about their corporate Business Model Revolution. They even said “monetize” – the death knell of any panel as far I’m concerned. Finally I’ll get a chance to catch up on my e-mail. (I also want post some notes from yesterday, [...]
