Aloha! I’m excited by the prospect of this experiment. As you can see from the first few months of our schedule, we’re lining up some interesting thinkers and doers in the fields of DIY/participatory media. Although only a room full of people in Los Angeles will be able to attend the face to face seminars, we’re hoping to involve people from around the world who share our interest in the technical, social, cultural, political, legal, economic, pedagogical facets of media such as digital video, blogs, wikis, podcasts and other means of many-to-many cultural production.

Here’s the plan: Within 24 hours of the seminar, I will post one or several blog posts about the most recent seminar, and invite participation by one and all by means of the comment threads. Please feel free to use the comments attached to this post to introduce yourselves.

Who am I? You can find out more than you need to know about me at my home website. I also blog at Smartmobs and Cooperation Commons.
