NetSquared's local organizers around the world are the real superheroes delivering the global NetSquared's mission on the ground.  Organizers have created groups that provide consistent opportunities for local communities to come together to learn about new technologies that benefit social impact work. Organizers are also stepping up to create events and opportunities for even deeper learning and collaboration around the world.

i-Vission International, the same organization managing the Douala Net Tuesday, is organizing an international colloquium in Douala, Cameroon, for February 19-21, 2009, and is currently calling for papers.  The topic is:  The Impact of Cyber Criminality on the Economy of a Developing Nation.

The deadline to submit an essay is January 19, 2009.  More details below.

3-Day Colloquium

The Impact of Cyber Criminality on the Economy of a Developing Nation

I'm always excited when a new Net Tuesday group starts to form, but I am especially excited about our newest Net Tuesday starting in Douala, Cameroon!

They are looking for co-organizers, presenters, and other interested folks.
