These are the people who have said they're interested in working on a Rad Ref track at the 2008 Grassroots Media Conference:

• Alycia
• Emily -- "I'd love to have something on privacy and the internet. I am also feeling a little overcommitted, but would be up for conducting something and/or helping out with stuff I can do from my office at work."
• Gretchen
• Jenna
• John
• Mel G
• Mel Mo -- "Yes, we should totally be involved, but I can't commit to helping plan it -- I'm feeling kind of overcommitted and will be out of town for part of Oct and Nov anyway. But I'd love to help conduct a workshop at the conference."

Workshop ideas:

• fact checking/research like a librarian
• managing your info online (maybe even breaking it down--we could probably do a whole hour on RSS alone!)
• FOIA/FOIL
• free information, free resources at your local libraries

Questions from the GMC Organizers for 11/06/07 meeting at NACLA:

• Why does your group keep coming back to the GMC? What have you gotten out of it?
  - enjoy providing a service to indy journalist community
  - enjoy having a chance to share the librarian love and bringing critical thinking concepts into people's minds
  - enjoy connecting with nyc activist/journalist community
