I'd be glad to do so if Dave is willing.  The focus of the conference
this year is on wireless and "social software."  In addition to the
regular conference program, we're also holding a self-organizing
wiki-planned ad-hoc conference in the evenings, along the lines of what
I did at my "foo camp." (See http://conferences.oreilly.com/etech and
http://wiki.oreillynet.com/etech/hosted.conf?ParticipantSessions for
details.)

On the first day of the conference, February 9, we're also running a
separate event on digital democracy (see http://ddemo.oreilly.com),
focusing on the use of blogging and meetup by candidates, the
techniques for building a large and motivated based of activists used
by MoveOn and its Republican imitators, and the transparency issues
around electronic voting machines.

If Dave wants to run this message, the offer is as it was last year --
five free passes to either ETech or the Digital Democracy Teach-In
(i.e. five of each) to the first folks to contact Linda Holder
(lholder () oreilly com) requesting one of the IP spots.  (And we'll say
that you're the first one.)
