Mark your calendars and hope to see you there;
Below is the full text of the invitation letter from Catherine Bracy, The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Please note she requests the invite be passed along, so pass it forward -

Dear Friends,

As part of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard
University?s commitment to building human networks and community
around our projects, connecting our friends and colleagues with one
another, and protecting against Cambridge isolation, we have initiated
a series of gatherings around the country where we jointly explore
substantive issues and social time to reflect on them.

In San Francisco, we'll be celebrating the release our newest
publication -- John Palfrey and Urs Gassers' Born Digital:
Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives -- in which they
explore many of the key issues at the intersection of new technology
and young people, including privacy, safety, creativity, learning,
civic engagement. We're hoping Berkman friends, colleagues, alumni,
and others who have interest in Internet and society issues will
attend, and we would love to bring you and your community into the
mix, by both joining us and inviting people you think would be
interested.

The book talk and reception will take place on Monday, September 15 at
Hotel Vitale at 6:00PM, and is generously co-hosted by our colleagues:
David Hornik (HLS '94) of August Capital, the Berkeley Center for Law
and Technology, Creative Commons, Tod Cohen of eBay Inc., the
Electronic Frontier Foundation, Stanford's Center for Internet &
Society, and Meg Garlinghouse of Yahoo! Inc. Directions and details
are below.

We look forward to the 15th, and hope you will be able to join us!
Please be in touch if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions.

Sincerely,
Catherine Bracy
on behalf of
The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University
