[rtpnet-tact] Planning a nonprofit technology conference for June 25 in Chapel Hill

[Judy Hallman]

The NCTech4Good organizers and PINInc/RTPnet would like to have a local 
nonprofit technology conference similar to those RTPnet had in 
2000-2005. We've reserved space for the conference at the Friday Center
in Chapel Hill for Friday, June 25, 2010.

We've scheduled the first planning meeting for Feb. 11, 11:30-1:30, at 
United Way of the Greater Triangle, to do initial planning and set up 
committees. If you would like to help out, please join us, RSVP at 
http://www.meetup.com/NCTech4Good/calendar/12506506/, and bring your own 
lunch. Whether you come to the meeting or not, please join the 
discussion group for planning the conference at 
http://nccommunities.org/conference-team . I hope we can do a lot of the 
work using online tools and won't need many face-to-face meetings. 
Working online will also make it easier for folks around the state to 
participate in the planning.

If you have not registered yet on NCCommunities, go to

already registered, go to http://nccommunities.org/og and click "join."

I've started a wiki-like section for conference resources at

timeline at http://nccommunities.org/conference-timeline .
