[EFN-Collaboration] Information Centers-Newswire

Mon Jan 22 14:13:38 EST 2007

hey katrina!

thanks for hooking me up with these folks.  did you get my email i sent right after you left seattle?  

hi julie and others.  i'm happy to talk to you about indymedia and the intersection with your work.  it's true as kk says, i'm a cofounder and spent 4 beloved years of my life immersed in the birth and growth of the indymedia network.  

i'd love to hear about your intention with emerging futures as it's something i'm very close to in my thinking as a futurist.  i'm working on several projects at the moment which are about the positive images of the future, center for the image of the future, and alternatives indymedia.  

let's talk!

namaste,
sheri
in seattle
