Infrequent But Delicious - The Mike Blog

Post-WSIS

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

After my last blog about the 4am walk to the Kram expo with exhibit materials, things went quite smoothly! We were involved in close to a dozen events, between hosting and participation, and we also played a large role in helping participants from groups like CIPUF and Telecentre.org create blogs and media at the WSIS and publish it online.

After arriving home, I caught a cold (probably from the sub-zero temperatures in Toronto!) and it took me longer than it should have to recover, mostly because there was no time to breathe!

Among other things, in the last few weeks, I've been busy working on:

- Launching the TIG site in Chinese (to be formally announced soon - you need Chinese fonts installed to see it!)

- Finishing minor bugs and launching BeyondKyoto.org, a community site around the International Youth Summit supported by the Canadian government.

- Launching the PictureChange.ca web site with an alliance of Canadian NGOs working to address HIV/AIDS stigma and awareness across Canada. (thanks to Conail for helping to do most of the work on this!)

- Building Chapter pages for Journalists for Human Rights using our Project system, which will launch in the new year

- Geocoding Organization and Event data, which will soon be accessible from the site - but for a preview, check out this link for Toronto Organizations!

- Adding "Higher Education" as a feature on TIG - you can now edit your profile, and add your university/college experience, which then becomes clickable - you can find other TIG members who attended & are attending your school! Try it out!

I hope everyone out there had a great November - I can't believe it's December and holiday season already!

Don't you ever get tired?

It looks like you have some sort of limitless energy. You really are an inspiration to many of us!

Go Mike!
