Hi everyone, At 7pm on Thursday, April 6, I'm going to be giving a preview of my new book, "From the Ground Up: Evolution of the Telecentre Movement," at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Every Thursday, a group of local bloggers get together to discuss Internet issues, and I'll be talking about the book for this week's meeting.
The book, edited by me and Mark Surman of Telecentre.org, explores the diversity of public computing initiatives around the world, examining the common visions and goals that unite them. It's intended to inspire technology activists to realize that they're part of a worldwide movement to bridge the digital divide, rather than working in isolation. The USA chapter focuses on Lowell Telecommunications Corporation in Lowell, MA, and includes quotes from our fellow vlogger Randy Mann. The book will be distributed this spring by IDRC.ca in Canada, but for now you can review a very large PDF version (It's around 10 megabytes - a necessary evil given the hundreds of photographs in the book.) An accessible HTML version will be made available when IDRC begins distributing the book. http://www.andycarvin.com/from-the-ground-up.pdf I've also posted screen shots from the book on my blog: http://www.andycarvin.com permalink: http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/04/talking_about_my_new.html If you happen to be in the Boston area, please feel free to join us Thursday evening at Berkman. It'll take place at 7 PM at Baker House, 1587 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, north of Harvard Square. Hope to see some of you there! thanks, andy -- ------------------------------ Andy Carvin acarvin (at) edc . org andycarvin (at) yahoo . com http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.andycarvin.com ------------------------------ Yahoo!
