so, we haven't even started yet and we're already getting some excellent feedback! thanks to the N2Y3 exposure, a kid from bangalore (!) who's been following the conference (a few time zones ahead...) has sent us his support, not just in tech terms but also for volunteering activities on the ground and feeding us local info.

I am excited to be at the NetSquared conference alongside several other non-profits actively using virtual worlds in their work. Global Kids ( http://olp.globalkids.org ) have a number of interesting virtual world and transmedia projects that I look forward to presenting to folks on Wednesday, along with my colleagues. And I can't want to hear about the other mash-up projects being proposed by others and meet other non-profit and tech industry folks interested in the social media space.

Now it's after midnight and I should get some rest before tomorrow's activities begin.

Hi, everyone. I am looking forward to meeting you at the NetSquared conference this week. N2 is one of the most interesting and impactful organizations I have run across in more than 20 years of work in media, nonprofits, and social enterprises. So I am very grateful to have the opportunity to support the organization in a small way as a live-blogger at this year's conference.

A little about me:

Hello Fellow NetSquaredians,

Looking forward to the conference to start tomorrow morning. Some of my interests include technology, sociology, volunteering and project management. I think I can work all of those into play tomorrow.

Everyone's introductions sound impressive and accomplished so I'm looking forward to meeting folks in person.

I'm not with any company or organization. I'll be a free agent.

Hi everyone,

 My name is Andy Lieberman and I recently began working with Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology, and Society on the KnowledeX Project.  We are building a community of practice for social benefit entrepreneurs working to solve all kinds of problems, primarily in developing countries.

Prior to this job, I lived for a number of years in Guatemala and founded a non-profit that helps Mayans cross the digital divide without leaving their language and culture behind.

 I look forward to an exciting couple of days with all of you.

NetSquared already has started. Sitting next to again an impressive cake, the room is buzzing while I write my intro. Rolf Kleef, from Amsterdam, here to enjoy San Francisco for some three weeks, and doing the last little bits with Roshani and Mike of Oneworld US to be ready for two rollercoaster days!

May 27 & 28 nonprofits, techies and nonprofit techies will gather at the NetSquared Conference (N2Y3) to network, socialize, share resources and facilitate the 21 NetSquared Mashup Challenge Featured Projects' taking their work to the next level.

You can follow the conference online in a number of ways:

1. We've set up a special NetSquared (N2Y3) Conference News page that will aggregate posts by attendees, designated live-bloggers and live-vloggers, and folks who tag their posts n2y3con.

Can you believe we are in the final countdown to N2Y3? It’s hard to believe there is just one day left. I’d like to extend a huge thank you to the NetSquared team for all their hard work and organization, and especially for their intro to Vinnie, our project lead. It has been energizing, to say the very least, to learn more about all the amazing projects in this year’s lineup and to talk to so many motivated people.

Greetings, you don't know me yet, but I'm Alexandra Krasne and I'll be one of the live bloggers at N2Y3. I am a former journalist, former Managing Editor of TechSoup, have attended Net2 the past two years, and am thrilled to be attending again this year.

Seeing my former co-workers and meeting nonprofits doing innovative things with technology are just a couple of reasons I'm looking forward to this year's conference. And there are some great projects this year!

Go go 2.0 video!! You may have seen my recent work at a web theater near you. For near a year now I've been vlogging for Net2 at NetTuesday, the once-monthly gatherings in SF showcasing the freshest of the social web do-good vanguard. Needless to say, I'm excited to be behind the lens again spreading motion-pictures of 2.0 changemakers at N2Y3. Also looking forward to live and learn with the incredibly inspiring social web community at large that is attending from all over (if SF NetTuesday samplings are any indication, this is going to be HELLA fun!).

See you soon! (on and off the record)
