Theme	Online Activism
Brings	Six years experience in Web project management and two years in nonprofit online communications. My strengths (or hot buttons) are in promoting technology within a greater context and never for its own sake. Seeking out collaboration rather than self-promotion under a single, common, progressive vision. I keep an eye toward the many people who are mistrustful of technology and am a proponent of not only usability but of ensuring that technical solutions enhance rather than diminish our humanity
Seeks	To meet people who want to find ways to facilitate communication through technology within social systems built on a culture of empowerment and altruistic energy. Want to discover ways in which the technology sector can be a microcosm and teacher within the greater progressive movement - specifically regarding self-organizing, more network-centric models of advocacy, and facilitating campaign and entire social movement objectives in creative and unprecedented ways.

Theme	Environmentalism
Brings	I bring 15 years experience creating and managing visionary media and technology projects with a focus on environmentalism. I want to bring what I've created in Greenhome.com, a leading resource for environmentally friendly goods and services, and grow it into a shared commons for building the market for sustainable products. I bring my plan for how to do this. Green Home is helping green PlaNetworks this year.
Seeks	I want to marry Greenhome.com off to an augmented social network, since the marketplace is a core traditional reason for gathering. With PlaNetwork's help, Green Home can become a truly cooperative eco-buyers club, putting people in touch with each other, and with sustainable products and practices. I want to blow the mind of the world with the power such a network can have. It's what I call a Trance End Dance.

Theme	Political Organizing
Brings	I currently work at Global Business Network which was founded by Stewart Brand, among others, and has had an enduring interest in sustainable, long-term thinking. I recently coauthored a book (called What’s Next) built off in-depth interviews with 50 of our network members about what they expected to see in their diverse fields in the next 10 years. I previously coauthored The Long Boom book, which was an attempt to think through how the world could begin to solve many impending problems.
Seeks	I am fascinated by what I see as a new political sensibility that seems to be emerging in California and other parts of "Blue America." I think the PlanetWork community is an early harbinger of this broader phenomenon. There is a set of values, and a set of big ideas that is starting to come together around a new politics. I’d like to try to start defining that emerging agenda, that set of new ideas that is starting to come together. I think others at this conference could help out.

Brings	Gratefulness to be in such fabulous company and commitment to have fun! And also... a passion for catalyzing and synergizing leaders, teams and projects and an ability to call forth their greatest potential - intuitive wisdom and boundless creativity and energy - deep commitment to creating conscious paradigms, strategies and forms of collaboration - a sometimes annoying addiction to inquire about "how we can play bigger" and explore what else is possible.
Seeks	Clarity about how internet technologies can support the creation of much deeper levels of collaboration between individuals, organizations and networks. Philanthropists, investors, connectors and meta-networkers who are interested in creating conscious tipping point networks in transformational philanthropy and SRI to unleash the kind of money flow needed to fuel organizations and companies that are building a world that works for all.
