One Nation Online
Jordan Berg is the outreach coordinator for Free Press. Free Press is a national, nonpartisan organization working to reform the media through education, organizing and advocacy. They promote diverse and independent media ownership, strong public media, and universal access to communications.
Anyhow, Free Press was a co-sponsor of Blogging While Brown conference. Jordan flew in from Massachusetts to share information about net neutrality. He wants us to reach out to our congressional representatives in support of net neutrality.

BDPA leaders and chapters should consider taking a formal position on net neutrality. Our community needs to ensure that we don't become second-class citizens in this area. 
My hope is that BDPA leaders and chapters learn more about this One Nation Online concept. In other words, we need to say loud & proud that we want every American to be connected to a fast, affordable, and open Internet to prosper in today's economy and to serve as an active citizen in a 21st century democracy.
This is serious stuff. BDPA needs to get serious about it. What say u?

Web teams from more than two dozen Austin, Texas, companies converged for a voluntary day of competition October 13th to build new Web sites or improve existing ones for non-profit organizations whose clientele includes those with disabilities. The 10th Annual Accessibility Internet Rally (AIR-Austin) is part of a nationwide initiative to make the Internet accessible for those with disabilities as a tool for gaining knowledge.
Hat tip to Lorna Stewart-Booker (BDPA Austin chapter president) for letting us know how her chapter's team did in the competition. She wrote,

"WOW!!! We Won! We Won! Can you tell we're excited! BDPA Austin chapter's new website has won First Place in the Air-Austin 2007 Stock Car Division. This is exciting for the BDPA family and for the Vesper Web Design team that designed our website. This win means that BDPA is eligible for the state competition scheduled for a later date.Share some love in the comments section for Lorna and the others from BDPA Austin chapter!
