I’m here in Santa Barbara, Calif., for the daylong Forum on Digital Transitions, focusing on where online communities are heading. Here’s the speaker list. Author Howard Rheingold gave the keynote last night putting collective action and community-building into historical perspective (with his usual presentational flair). Rep. Lois Capps, the progressive local House representative, just gave a talk about health care and other issues where civic engagement is essential.
Among those sitting at tables here at Corwin Pavilion on the UC Santa Barbara campus: Howard, Doc Searls, Elizabeth Osder, Angela Beesley, Markus Sandy, Jay Dedman, Ryanne Hodson, Micki Krimmel, Robert Kaye, Jennifer McClure, Britt Blaser, John Seely Brown, Mary Hodder, Brad Templeton, Danah Boyd, Bruce Bimber, Dave Toole and lots of other familiar faces.
I hope to post some video from the event later.
Later: Jen McClure is blogging it on her new blog. Here’s our group SB Forum video blog on Blogger.
