Live Salsa Demo Tomorrow in D.C.
With apologies for the late notice, Chris Lundberg from DIA will be offering a public demonstration of the Salsa interface Friday, March 9 from 4 to 5 at the conclusion of the New Organizing Institute March training.
It's free and open to the public -- you need not have attended NOI to join. Current user? Prospective user? Just happen to be in town and want to know what all the hype is about? Come on down.
We need to keep a head count, so bang it here for directions and to let us know you'll be joining us.

Tuesday Tips: 10 Ways to Make a Meeting Boring
I have a minor avocation as a referee in two different sports, and in that capacity have been credentialing up during the past couple months for upcoming seasons.
