I'd just like to say that meeting Tim and everyone else last night was really
enjoyable, so much so that I stayed out far longer than I intended! Thanks for
your company everyone and let's do it again - only let's not wait for Tim's
next visit!

Cecilia:
It was a pleasure to meet you as well - and everyone else. I think I
forgot to thank Ben Barker for buying me a drink. Thanks Ben, I owe
you one - when you come to visit St. Paul!!!
I had a great time! I think that a total of about ten people showed up
over the course of the evening, some of whom were meeting each other
for the first time. I too stayed out longer than I should have.
Please, do get together again sometime soon - and certainly don't wait
for me to come back (of course, I'm hoping you will get together when
I come back, just please don't wait that long). It was great to hear
stories about how the forum has been helpful to people, and to hear
ideas about how it might be better. Certainly, I did hear some concern
about the fact that there aren't more people who participate, but that
will change over time - if members of the forum continue to spread the
word.
My earliest membership counts show that this forum had 74 members in
March and it is now at 97 members, relying on word of mouth alone.
Please, keep spreading the work and set a short term goal of
recruiting just 3 new members, to break 100!
I did record a short interview with Cecilia and Ban, which is part of
a podcast that I've uploaded to the E-Democracy.Org blog. Please check
it out. I had hoped to "interview" more of the participants, but the
battery on my computer died before I had the chance.
:-(

Keep up the great work!

Sorry to have missed you all hope you got good treatment. Make sure I am
