Seattle & Olympia Wa.
I have been working on the Events and Virtual Presence subcommittees. Very interested in the Twitter action research study.
Rachel Lyn Rumson: @cosmogenisis
Portland, ME
I am attending the conference and I am interested in what Twitter can do as a media in regard to self organizing, generating engadgment and community building.
Kevin Gilbertson: @kwgilbertson
Bozeman, MT
I am attending.
I will be a first time attendee to the conference and feel participating will make it a more fulfilling experience. I have interests from two perspectives. Professionally, I work for a company that incorporates Twitter into how organizations manage their customers and am interested in the role of the institution in social media (especially one such as twitter which is individually focused). I'm also a Psych grad student at Capella and am interested in the role of social media in leader development and community building.
Anna Russell: @anetteua

Will be volunteering during at least 2 conference days, so will be able to tweet live while attending on those days.
I am a student at Antioch U and this is my Change Project. I am interested in expanding opportunities for communication.

I will not be at the OD Network Conference, so I want to participate via Twitter. This will be my first attempt at Twitter as well. I consult with a large US Foundation and we are in the middle of exploring social media applications for non-profit social impact so this learning lab will also serve that effort. My partner and I consult with non-profits around the world mostly via email/phone from our Oakland and Puerto Vallarta offices. We coauthored with 12 US and Cuban authors "Cultures of Participation at Work in Cuba and the US" which was published in the US by OD Network as a special issues of the journal in 2006.
Mitch Moses: @msmosesdvm
Dallas, TX:
Im trained as a Veterinarian and work in a Learning and Development group for a Fortune 100 company. I recieved my MBA in OD earlier this year so a neophyte in the field. I'm new to Tweeter. One of my work projects is evaluating social media and social learning to enhance the learning process in our company. SO: I"m very much a learner about OD work, Tweeter, Social Media AND will help where ever I can. Looking forward to it.

I heard about this project through an email from the ODN. Sorry to have missed this afternoon's call. I and my colleagues at CoVision Inc. are very interested in this experiment. For many years we have been working on including the voice of participants in large and very large meetings through processes that are enabled by technology. We have a rich particiant feedback software that we field on wirelessly networked laptops in large meetings. We are extrremely interested in exploring the use of Twitter for engaging participants both in conferences and in meetings. I myself am barely a user of Twitter, but it seems that with this opportunity that may be changing!

My MS/OD project was for the OD Network, a virtual organization assessment and design, and I greatly enjoyed working with Peter Norlin and his team (I published the case study in the summer 2009 OD Practitioner journal). I have been a tech geek since the 70's (remember the 1970's?) and love to study practical applications for internet tools. I am not currently planning to attend the Seattle conference but I am happy to help and contribute to this Twitter effort.
Victoria G. Axelrod: @vaxelrod

I'm an organization strategist focused on open innovation for sustainability and the emerging 21st century organization. Blog at http://c21org.typepad.com with colleague Jenny Ambrozek. We do action research, write and run workshops on open innovation impacted by collaborative technologies like Twitter, FB and wikis. Check under Resources for links.
OD practitioners have a potentially large role to play in integrationg business strategy, technologies, and human performance.
Would like to contribute knowledge and expertise to this project by connecting our diverse network and links.
Will be presenting in Seattle with Karen Davis, afternoon Monday 19th -Sustainable Globalization: 6 lenses for every organization.

i'm not on twitter yet. i'm going to need a coach and some hand-holding. does that fit within your job description anna? i think i may have set up an account at one point, but i don't remember. how could i find out or start-over? some start-up fears include...a) having one more account to manage when i use to be able to find everything easily by just looking at my email history, b) privacy, c) info-overload. maybe for starters if you could outline steps like rachel did on this page for the wiki editing and i can give it a stab myself later today? how's this for action-research when the researchers/subjects don't even know how to use twitter?!?!?!

i'm now on twitter and having fun with it, but i blocked anyone until i approve them, does that make sense? before doing so, i was visited by my first two twitter friends - trying to sell themselves with what little they were wearing. i don't think they read my profile closely.

I am glad you got on, Jeff! Sorry I did not see your comment sooner. Yeah, Twitter is infested, I block at least a couple of people a day! A while ago we looked into maybe using Second Life for the conference and I set up a profile and tried to look around for a bit - same problem! Well, c'est la vie...
