As we reach out to conference presenters and community organizers, we have been reviewing how people organize their thinking about technology and organizing. Right now we have 5 tentative track titles:1. Amplification; 2. Net Activism; 3. Networking & Crowd Sourcing; 4. Organizational Development; 5. Issues & Technology. Your feedback about each of these will help determine the final list. Here's a summary of the typologies that we considered.
