Community networking conference, Brighton UK March 2004

The Community Informatics Research Network that met recently in Prato, Italy, has now announced details of a conference in Brighton, UK, next year. Australian-based Larry Stillman posted to a number of lists, and I have taken the slight liberty of putting details into a document - download conference details
The conference is funded under a research programme, so inevitably it sounds a bit academic, with a formal call for papers by mid February. However, the organising group is impressive, and I should think there'll be space for a good mix of policy and practice. They are looking for contributions on:
· Community networking case studies
· Community network analysis as a methodology and theory
· Community Informatics as an emerging research agenda
· The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and the role of Civil Society
· Communication and Development - theory and practice
· A human-centred approach to community technology - moving beyond causality to purposiveness
· Indigenous knowledge and cultural diversity
· Grass-roots community innovation and action
The main contact is Peter Day of the University of Brighton p.day@btinternet.com
As I wrote recently, there's some interesting development in Brighton and Hove, so I hope the home team gets a good show.
