There is a new Net Tuesday in town, and it's in Toronto. Jane Zhang of Partnership Platform is organizing the first Net Tuesday Toronto on May 6th at the Centre for Social Innovation. Speakers from the Documentary Organization of Canada, and the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants will share their experiences with using the social web in their work.
If you are at the International Computer Refurbishers Conference in Toronto May 5th and 6th, you should definitely head on over and check it out.
Be sure to RSVP for the event on the Toronto Net Tuesday Meetup Group.

We're going to have a NetSquared/TechSoup meetup on May 6th in Toronto, Canada during the 2008 International Computer Refurbishers Summit.Â
We're looking for a free/affordable venue relatively near the Delta Chelsea Hotel that has wifi and that would be appropriate for socializing, and hearing a speaker(s).
Please share any ideas in the comments of this post, or send them to net2@techsoup.org with the subject line, "Net Tuesday Toronto."
Thanks!
