Northern Voice Speakers and Schedule Announced!
I'm looking forward to meeting some folks I read and comment with at Northern Voice next year. Here are the speakers. I'm interested in an an informal add on (Blog Walk like our friends in Europe?) the day before or after around blogging for community issues. Anyone interested?

Y'know Nancy..a stroll around town with you would be more fun than almost anything I can think of. Especially in the rain. Let's do it.
OK, let's do this. The day before or the day after?
I vote for the day before.
Here's my (very) tentative suggestion:
1. Meet at the Waterfront Station Starbucks at 1:00 ish Friday Feb 18 (so I can work half the day!)
2. Walk to Phnom Penh (20 minute walk) for a Vietnamese lunch
3. Walk back to Waterfront station (20 minute walk)
Meet up later for pre conference dinner.
Again, just some ideas, please let me know if you have other thoughts!
I blogged about this on the conference blog:

Oooh, a blog walk and a cool new blog? I'm a very happy camper ;-)
I'll be in town all week actually, so I'm game for anything any day but Thursday. So, yeah, count me in :)
Also, see an after-conference idea: http://www.ensight.org/archives/2004/12/15/northern-voice-ski-trip/.
If it's a pre-conference blogwalk, how about a topic that primes us for the days to follow...something like:
What are we hoping to learn from the next two days? What are my reasons for being here? How is my blogging connected to what is on offer at Northern Voices?
Somthing like that...it always helps to come to a conference with a burning question that turns a sedentary two days into a journey.
Pre- sounds good to me as well. I've made a few comments more on the Northern Voice site, plus made my hotel reservations! YAY!
I'm going! Really looking forward to meeting you!
