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.

Hi, I'm Ruby and I usually introduce myself as a progressive activist, local politico, professional organizer, and compulsive blogger. For a more verbose explanation, please refer to my bio and my blog, where you can learn more than anyone could want to know about me.

I live in Chapel Hill, NC but I work (virtually) in Washington, DC as the "Web Maven" with Marty Kearns' Netcentric Campaigns helping progressive nonprofits utilize to empower their supporters and constituents with network-centric strategies.
