What is the Us Now movie?
The Us Now movie "takes a look at how this type of participation could transform the way that countries are governed. It tells the stories of the online networks whose radical self-organising structures threaten to change the fabric of government forever."
Stuck here in the southern hemisphere, we missed out on the launch of the Us Now movie in London and Harvard. But as the movie is freely available online, there is no reason why we can't stage our own local 'event' (and very much in the spirit of Us Now!). So, are you interested in taking part in an informal meet up in Sydney, to watch and discuss the movie? Once we start to see that people are interested, we'll think about picking a date and a location (we've got a few things on the To Do list to sort out - can you help?).
When and where is this going to happen?
- Thursday 7th July, 2009
- 6pm for 6.15pm start until 8pm, followed by drinks and more conversation somewhere nearby
* The Atrium, IBM Building, 601 Pacific Hwy, St Leonards (near St Leonards train station or off street parking is available in the area)
- Please note that the venue for Us Now Sydney has now changed to the Australian Technology Park at Redfern. For details on how to get there by car, train (exit via Platform 10 at Redfern Station) or bus.
- If you plan to attend, you must register online.
Staying in the loop
We're going to use #usnowsydney as a hashtag, but check #usnow too!
