Looking forward to the show! Last year I tried the Net2 experience through virtual means, which proved as expected much less satisfactory that seeing everyone face to face.

I am now independently consulting full time (since November) with Leland Design, working on projects ranging from violence prevention, to lung health, senior housing and nonprofit management.

My recent technology interest is to discover the application(s) that make basic map rendering of data super easy for nontechnical users. Google is great, and the mashups have been exciting and widespread, but the solutions yet have still proven difficult for the average joe with a data export in their hands to manage.

I am always looking for excuses to get more involved in international technology work, would love to learn about your experiences and share mine!
