To: nixdell@cs.washington.edu Hi Nicki, A good friend of mine works with NetSquared, which connects programmers with time to donate, with nonprofits who need technical help. Would you mind forwarding the following to the change mailing list? Thanks! Natalie My friend Michael is helping organize the Greattle Seattle NetSquared series for 2013. NetSquared <http://netsquared.org/local> is a monthly series of volunteer-organized meetups that brings together folks in technology and the social sector who want to work on projects for the common good. They are sponsored by a nonprofit in SF called Techsoup<http://techsoup.org/> . NetSquared groups in various cities in the US hold social mixers, presentations, workshops, mentorships, and other similar events, based on the interests of the community. Check out the webpages for Vancouver<http://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-social-media-nonprofits-social-change/> , Portland <http://www.meetup.com/netsquared-13/> and the events held in Seattle (Eastside) <http://www.meetup.com/Greater-Seattle-NetSquared/> until Jun 2012 for more information on the types of events that are held. Michael has his hands pretty full as a lead in Sierra Club's national online organizing team so he'd love to have someone help him with organizing events for NetSquared. He's looking for co-organizers as well as interns! Please feel free to reach out to me at sameer@digital-progress.org and I'd love to make a connection!
