Citizen journalism

Citizen journalism epitomizes the belief that the experiences of people personally involved with an issue present a different -- and often more complete -- picture of events than can be derived from the perspective of an outsider. Congratulations! You are invited to generate news, discussion, resources, and commentary about the 2012 Jasig Sakai conference events. Not only are you providing a valuable community service to those unable to attend, but you will also have fun, meet interesting people, and gain more from the conference in doing so!
