Global Voices Online Citizen’s Media Summit 08

Hey everybody. First off, Budapest is a great city! We’re about to start the GVO meting, which is focusing mostly on net censorship. Considering my other blog, Registan.net, is definitely blocked in Uzbekistan, and quite possibly elsewhere, this matters tremendously, to say nothing of real people in really dangerous places doing their best get their voices heard. It’s quite a gathering of people: in the last 48 hours, I have had lively conversations with writers from Bahrain, Uganda, Malawi, Tajikistan, Hungary, and Netherlands. This is a truly global group of people trying to make the world a more open, transparent place—exactly the kind of work I’m sure ASHC readers appreciate.
The meetings will be liveblogged and webcast at the Summit website: summit08.globalvoicesonline.org. I don’t know how busy I will be, but I’ll try to post whatever updates I can.
