I've been reading your series on Tunisia ok dkos and tweeting it to my followers, many of whom assisted during the Iranian protests and helped with online Haiti relief efforts. I certainly hope your solicitations for involvement will garner some help in needed areas for this effort.

I'd like to see if I can contribute somehow. Could you please send me the IRC tutorial? Provided I can work through the instructions, I'd like to participate in the meeting tomorrow.

Is there anyone I should follow on twitter or friend on FB?
I'm @SLSiri on twitter - not a huge following but have had a stable 430+ for over a year now and I'm on 21 lists.

Siri Vita on Facebook and Siri Vita in Second Life where I can post to the Amnesty International, Peace Train, Social Justice and various other progressive groups to get info in front of a few thousand more people. I did all the Iran updates inworld for various groups and spoke at various events. I could do something similar for Tunisia in an effort to at least keep people informed beyond what they may be hearing in the media.

I am an advocate of non-violent resistance. A good model of what can be accomplished is Gene Sharp's From Dictatorship to Democracy. You may very well be familiar with it but if not, here is a link to the PDF.

I look forward to finding out if there is some way I can contribute to this effort.

Thanks!
