UPDATE: Our next gathering date is December 14th at the Harbour House at 5 PM. The time was changed from 7 PM to 5 PM at the request of many of those who may be attending. We've also changed how you can participate in this collaboration. We've setup a Facebook group and are now using that instead of a mailing list. Instructions for joining are the bottom of this post.
Looks like there is a growing interest in continuing the conversation on Salt Spring about the potential of an island wide collaboration to build a digital economy here on the island. What does it mean? We're not exactly sure, but here's invitation to join us for the next meetup for those of us working in the digital economy here on Salt Spring. But here's the twist.
Thriving, local, living economies need sustainability so we're going to try something new. We're collaborating with Salt Spring Institute for Sustainability Education & Action (I-SEA) to bring together the green drinks community with those of us working in digital industries to see how we might merge the vision of a digital economy with the vision of a sustainable economy many islanders have been working on for years.
This is your invitation to join. We'll be gathering at Harbour House this time, they are a long-time supporter of Green Drinks who have generously offered to provide light food snacks for us to feed our conversation and good ideas.
If you're working in the digital economy or you're interested in sustainability on the island this will be a great event to bring together these important goals and to work together on the now and the future of Salt Spring. We'll have a few people collaborating before this gathering to co-create the un-structure of our evening. We'll announce details when we have more information.
Where: Harbour House
When: Tuesday, December 14th
Time: 5:00 PM
If you are a professional working in the digital economy today consider joining our Silicon Island Facebook group where we'll begin collaborating, sharing and looking for opportunities to work together right here on Salt Spring. Join here - http://on.fb.me/hRH5rM
