[My Name is Kate] Billed as Canada's Web 2.0 Conference, Mesh wants to be hip, but sorry, I don't think any confernece that can only find about 6 slots for women in a speaking roster over 50 strong qualifies as anything but old-school, Web 2.0 or not.

Worker Bees Blog: Usually tech (read: O'Reilly) conferences trot out the excuse that they're looking for deeply geeky presenters, and while I would argue that deeply geeky women abound, I agree that deeply geeky men are the low-hanging fruit. Of course, I've already established that I believe it's the conference organizer's job to seek out representatives of diverse perspectives, not the other way around, but let that go for the moment.

Main Page -- A View from the Isle: I'm a tad tardy with this post. I think Mark, Matt, Stewart, and Rob will cut me some slack cause I've been a wee bit busy lately (there's an understatement!). So, yes, I'll be at Mesh. Yes, I'll even be speaking. The schedule was just released today, I'm speaking in the afternoon of the first day (May 15th) and talking/showing/doing Blogs 101. This is one of my favourite topics and classes to do. Yes, I am absolutely as passionate in person as I am here. Imagine as I'm writing this I'm pacing around the room waving my arms and such. Yeah, that's me speaking in person. (via Cosmos)

The project is called Blogswana and the idea is that they will train 20 university students from Botswana in journalism and blogging, then those students will go into the field once a month and interview some one who does not have access to the web or blogging.
[Allied.blogspot.com] ALLIED by Jeneane Sessum: CANADA--WHOZ REPRESENTIN!?: Keep writing nice stuff like this, and I'll have our government will send you a 8 oz. bottle of Quebec maple syrup, some smoked salmon from Nova Sotia, a year's worth of petroleum from Alberta's oil sands, a one-day pass to the 2010 Winter Olympics at Whistler, and a 3-day seminar on how to govern a country with more than one political party of mostly rich white men.
