On Tuesday, May 30th at 4pm PDT Micki Krimmel, the Director of Internet Outreach for Participant Productions, will be speaking about, "Media that Mobilizes: An Inconvenient Truth, ClimateCrisis and More Tales from Participate.net" as part of NetSquared's remote conference.

Even though I'll be working at the face to face Net2 Conference, I'm going to try to sneak off to the Net2 Remote Conference Chat Room to participate in this chat.

Participant Productions is the company behind socially conscious films like Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, Good Night and Good Luck, Syriana, Fast Food Nation, Murderball and North Country. Not only do they produce movies with meaning, they also host a complementary web site, Participate.net that give users tons of ways to get involved and create positive change around the issues they care about.  You can learn more about Participate.net and see an interview with Micki Krimmel on the Net2 vlog

The chat will take place using Gabbly, which is SO easy to use, especially for an accidental techie like myself.  All you have to do is go to the Net2 Remote Conference Chat Room and type in your name.  Gabbly works with Firefox 1.5, Internet Explorer 6.0 , Safari 2.0 or Flock.

See ya there!
