We invite interested social innovators to be a part of this: Bring your gadget, your project, your website or your experiences to create the tools for the next generation of social actions. Free entrance - donations appreciated.
Shout outs to The Hub for providing us with a great space with such a short notice!
Gunner is founder and director of Aspiration, an organisation that connects nonprofits to software solutions that help them more effectively meet their missions of positive global change. He organises and facilitates events around the world, like AfricaSource, AsiaSource, Penguin Day, and the NetSquared conferences in San Jose. This month, he is in Amsterdam for Open Translation Tools 2009, a gathering of 75 stakeholders in the field of open content translation around software tools that support translation of content that is licensed under free or open content licenses such as Creative Commons or Free Document License.
Every month, the NetSquared community comes together offline at Net Tuesday events to mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships, and collaborate. These gatherings provide a chance for all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change, whether you're part of a nonprofit organization or a for-profit organization, a funder or a consultant, a developer or an entrepreneur.
The Net Tuesday network is growing: view active groups, or start a group in your community!
