[Nadia Afrin]

If the transcripts/video clips are available I would love to post it on the Development Gateway's ICT for Development portal (it's an online knowledge sharing community) http://topics.developmentgateway.org/ict
 
Who is putting this together?

Sean,

Any chance of webcasting this event or at least
that a transcript will be available at some
point--that is, for those of who can't be there?
It sounds like a good event, but no travel funds
left after going to the WSF...

Thanks,

Lisa
