\"\"For those of you who have gotten to know me over the last twelve months, Ad Astra (Analysis and Development of Awesome STRAtegies) was a grassroots strategy\/culture change project I led at Microsoft.\u00c2\u00a0 Its positive focus, wiki-centricity, and network-oriented strategies<\/a> foreshadowed a lot of work on Get FISA Right and the Voter Suppression Wiki; it’s also where I learned about advertising, something that’s proven very useful in our work with SaysMe.tv.

Wow, what a year!<\/p>\n

Welcome to Ad Astrans and friends.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a lot to catch up on and I hope that everybody uses this thread to start doing so.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 If you haven’t been tracking it closely, Ad Astra-style wiki\/social network activism has gone mainstream over the last six months — poke around the blog for more.\u00c2\u00a0 w00t w00t!\u00c2\u00a0 More on all that soon …<\/p>\n

The main order of business right now is to decide whether we want to try to have a get-together this holiday season.\u00c2\u00a0 While I’ve stayed in touch with a lot of people online, it’s been over a year since I’ve seen most Ad Astrans.\u00c2\u00a0 Last year’s virtual holiday get-together<\/a> was nice, but there’s a lot to be said for in-person meetings.<\/p>\n

Anybody interested?<\/p>\n

If so, please respond in the doodle poll<\/a> I’ve set up, offering a few different choices for times. Once we decide on something, we’ll create a Facebook event and start circulating it.\u00c2\u00a0 How web 2.0 of us!<\/p>\n

And whether or not you can make it to the in-person event, please say hi in the comments and let us know what you’re up to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
