O'Reilly Digital Democracy Teach-In is one of the most interesting events this year at the Emerging Technology Conference and it will be streamed, so you can watch/listen in from the far.
If you want to get up to speed where the current discussion is, check these sources:
Exiting Deanspace Clay Shirky
Is Social Software Bad for the Dean Campaign? Clay Shirky
Call for working examples of Emerging Democracy. Ethan Zuckerman and Joe Ito
The real echo chamber David Weinberger (actually everything on the Loose Democracy Blog)
The rising tide the usual insightful and linkfull Doc Searls follow the links there :-)
The great thing is, they are all here in San Diego, Joe Trippy too. It will be really interesting. Can't wait.
Bonus link: Voices without votes who's goal is a dialogue between those who can vote in the 2004 U.S. election and those who cannot.
Thanks Mark for the link. Traffic to the Voices without Votes web site is picking up: There are almost 40 letters from non-U.S. citizens addressing themselves to the voting population of the United States. Please have a look. Cheers. By the way, nice blog.
