So here is the brightly colored Silona reporting from the land of black suits, DC.  I spoke yesterday at the Politics Online Conference.  Basically I organized a panel with Steven Clift from dowire.org and e-democracy, Dan Newman from Maplight.org, Sarah Schacht from KnowledgeAsPower.org, and Tim Bonnemann from intellitics.com.

 We did basic overviews and then Steven lets us create a wiki page illustrating both the panelists prezos as well as the audience's resources.  http://pages.e-democracy.org/Politics_online_conference_panel_2008

 I loved bringing a little barcamp flavor to the politicos!
