Community technology activities and ideas are popping up all over the
Triangle.  Many local people involved in this work -- even those
operating in the same communities within the region -- don't yet know
each other.

You are invited to a gathering designed to share experiences, resources,
needs, plans, and a Triangle-wide perspective.  It's for staff,
volunteers, champions, visionaries -- any and all engaged with or
thinking about starting digital divide efforts in the Triangle region.

That includes (but is not limited to) community tech/ learning centers,
after school programs, distance learning projects, telework centers,
computer recycling efforts, public access sites, volunteer trainers and
technical support providers, nonprofit support projects, e-democracy
projects, community tech projects focused on young people, seniors,
minorities,etc,
