Britt Bravo is on a much-deserved vacation, so I'm stepping in for her to keep news and information about the social change web coming your way!

Members of the Vancouver Net Tuesday group gathered recently to discuss podcasting for social change. There were quite a few people (check out the pictures!) there for the conversation, but if you weren't one of them, don't worry, you can get a recap right here!

In March, we had a NetSquared Meetup during NTEN's Nonprofit Technology Conference at the at Loa Bar in New Orleans (where this photo was taken).

While I was there, I met Jessica Rohloff and we talked about her starting a Net Tuesday in New Orleans. I spoke with Jessica today, and she is ready to set the wheels in motion!

If you are interested in being a co-organizer, speaker or member of Net Tuesday New Orleans, send her an email at jessrohloff@gmail.com.
