Please share widely!

We’re also looking for people who might sahre their technical skills with others in the workshop sessions following the main agenda. Please contact me at KateDonaghue@aol.com for possible opportunities to work with BlogLeft and the Communications SubCommittee.
Ryan has given a lot more detail. Check it out.
Is there any thought to having wireless internet available throughout the venue so that delegates could have access during the convention from the floor?
I made that suggestion last year and I’d love to see some sort of wireless available. Not sure if the Tsongas Arena is set up for that, though.
Does anyone know how easy it would be to get a temporary wireless setup? It may be too late to do this, but is it even possible, technically?
setting up a wireless network should be a snap. Routers are cheap, and not hard to configure.
