http://PhillyNetSquared.org Philadelphia NetSquared gathers nonprofits & activists, tech leaders & funders, and everyone interested in using technology for social change. NONPROFIT STAFFERS will find a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for those not experienced with technology, and many chances to ask questions of tech-experienced nonprofits and experts. TECHIES will find opportunities to put their e
xpertise to social good, as well as the potential for lasting relationships (be they paid or volunteer) with leading organizations in our community. ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS will see and be given the chance to present on successful uses of technology for social change. Not content to simply focus on “shiny tech,” we’ll explore what the true potential for social change is in each case, where community organizing work can be made more effective, and where it will have to push technology forward. Philly NetSquared hosts FREE Net Tuesdays the first week of every month to discuss using the social web for social good, hear case studies and presentations from experts, and collectively chart a new course through technology. NetSquared, by which Philly NetSquared is sponsored, is a national organization with chapters in many cities. Net Tuesdays are independent gatherings encouraged by NetSquared.
