Politicizing Technology
Quinn posted a description of her dream conference, the o’reilly technology toward improvement conference with tracks like:
- women and minorities
- democratizing education
- emerging markets
- personal sovereignty
- information dissemination
Sounds like it would be a good collaboration between Ruckus, and O’Reilly. ### Geek Organizer
Related news MoveOn is launching a “Geek Organizer” online job fair (for a org which everyone says is so savvy, they make it incredibly difficult to link to their news) > Within our team, we’ve identified a crucial role we call (affectionately) the Geek Organizer. No, that’s not an organizer of geeks. It’s a person who combines the leadership and communication skills of a political organizer with the technical skills of a computer nerd. How rare are these people? We don’t know. But we know they exist, because we’ve built our organization around them.
I don’t know, seems every third person I know fits that description. ### CATS
Also the next Cascadia Anarchist Tech Skill-Share looks like it will be third weekend of March in Portland. More info on the list. Chorus lines optional.
