I will be unable to make it to two great conferences coming up – one soon, one not so soon – which is a darned shame.  Especially so because many of my friends I never get to see outside of a work context will be there, including Social Markets and Digital Democracy.

February 21: Mobile Tech 4 Social Change, put together by MobileActive, this barcamp will be taking place at Hunter College in NYC.  Registration is full, but I’ll link to commentary on how it goes.

May 4-5: The Soul of the New Machine, a conference on the expanding role of technology in human rights documentation and advocacy, complete with a cash-prize contest for a mobile activism project.
