[i]In advance of this event, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3, New Tactics in Human Rights is hosting an online dialogue on this very subject:
New Tactics is pleased to feature 'Geo-Mapping for Human Rights, as the topic of our October featured online dialogue. Join New Tactics, our co-moderator, Christian Kreutz, and our featured resource practitioners from October 28 November 3, 2009 in a conversation about the ways in which geographical mapping has been used to share critical information, promote transparency and engage communities.
With the growing use of satellite imagery and easy-to-use technology, geographical maps are being used more often by human rights organizations. These maps can help an organization map crises, places of heritage, visualize data, monitor the impact of conflict, uncover critical evidence, and more! The goal of this dialogue will be to take the stories shared by practitioners with experience using these tools and tactics and draw out lessons to enable other organizations to strategically apply these resources.[/i]

New Jersey Tech Drinks December Meetup

Ok, folks, I'm making the executive decision to move Tech Drinks a little north this month. Then next month we will have it in East Windsor on the same day as NJDotNet user group. Possibly we could rotate monthly, we will see how this works out. If you were previously planning on attending and now can't make it please let me know, if there is a demand we will keep it in New Brunswick. Delicious Heights is awesome, they have a great bar. I'm going to see if I can wrangle us some drink specials.
