Hi everyone, As some of you know, AoIR.org's website has a blog (www.aoir.org/news). The blog is full of activity as we ramp up to the conference, and then it gets kinda quiet during the in-between time. I've been contemplating with the AoIR Executive Committee featuring writing and ideas by AoIR members on the blog. We've begun to repost articles that members of our community write to The Conversation (www.theconversation.com<http://www.theconversation.com>), for example. If you are interested in writing for the blog or sharing writing that is Creative Commons licensed with us about all things related to the Internet, we would welcome your thoughts. Feel free to email me at prez@aoir.org or Michelle Gardner, AoIR's association coordinator at ac@aoir.org<mailto:ac@aoir.org> with ideas or recommendations for cross-posting from other creative commons sites.
