To all the telecentre-europe bloggers at the e-inclusion meeting: Thank you!!!!
I just wanted to thank all the Vienna bloggers for keeping us up to date with the discussions happening at the event. I wasn't able to travel to Vienna and you've provided a bridge for me to be there, not in person but in the discussions. There is no other life feed about the discussions happening in the meeting I could find so your contribution is really appreciated and incredibly important.
Big thanks!! from Seattle and keep up the good work

Lessons from Riga | Networks are about personal relations and trust
There are so many interesting things that happened during these two days of the Telecenters Forum... many lessons and ways for the network to move forward. The most relevant learning I am taking with me back to Seattle is that networks are about people who care for each other personally, first and foremost.
It is difficult to convey in few words how relevant this lesson is. Networks, as a form of organization, do not provide much value if personal relations, trust, and care for each other at a m… Continue

Telecenter Leaders Forum in Riga | Building a network for collaboration in Europe
My work has brought me once again to this wonderful city for a gathering of Telecenter leaders representing almost every country in the European Union + some others. The effort to bring together organizations from around the EU working on e-inclusion programs started last year in Barcelona. In this second meeting of this nascent EU telecenters network these organizations will discuss ways to strengthen collaboration, establish venues to learn from each other, and find a common voice to promote t… Continue

Unfortunately I couldn't go to Barcelona because of the visa issues :( At least i made it to Prague for the NGO Accessibility Workshop with our trainers - great event!! though translating non-stop for several hours was quite challenging :) It was wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones. Catching up on things now, as always :)
Hugs from the finally warm Moscow!

telecentre-europe said… - I solved the problem with getting the RSS of outside blogs into your page (I just had to activate this feature). Now, when go to your page, in the left colum you will find a box "RSS" with an edit button, where you can specify a title for the feed, the feed's URL, choose whether to display detailed posts or titles only and decide on how many items you want to show.
As soon as you activated your feed here, I will take your feed out off the RSS feed of the middle column, otherwise it will appear twice (once as a main RSS feed, once as part of your blog posts).
