Dear colleague, the detailed program for the rich and diverse program for the Community Informatics Research Network Conference and Colloquium, 'Sustainability and Community Technology: What Does this Mean for Community Informatics?' in Prato (near Florence ) Italy 29 Sept - 1 Oct is now online. 'Sustainability' has been identified as a key and controversial issue in community networking, and the purpose of the conference is to explore all its dimensions, resulting in a communique developed through plenary sessions, as well as the development of further activities of the CIRN network. There will also be opportunities for networking and social events in a beautiful small Tuscan city, close to Florence. In addition to keynotes, there are nearly 40 talks about projects and research from around the world, workshops, and a PhD colloquium. See http://www.ciresearch.net/conferences/schedule.php?cf=4 for the schedule (subject to amendments) and http://www.ciresearch.net/conferences/registration.php?cf=4 for registration information. Please don't miss this great opportunity to meet practitioners and researchers from around the globe, in a convivial atmosphere. Registrations are from EU125 and up. A listing of local hotels and travel information is also on the website. Please circulate this notice to colleagues.
