Well, I am completely swamped and need to write more. I've been so busy doing that I haven't written on lj, the crisiscamp blog or my own new blog that I am supposed to be building.
I need your help.
Know people in Ottawa who might be interested in Crisis Commons. Montreal and Toronto are up and running, but I need some help getting Ottawa on their feet.

I'm in Ottawa for a visit and am one of organizers for Crisis Commons (Toronto).
I'd love to share the progress from the CrisisCommons Founders Weekend (held at the World Bank March 20/21, 2010 (Washington DC)) and share details about the CrisisCamp (Haiti) and (Chile) - Toronto experiences. Some folks from Montreal are kindly driving in to talk about their experiences. There was a Crisis Camp (Ottawa) and we have also invited them to join us.
You are welcome to join us for coffee and learn all about Crisis Commons. We would love to help you build Crisis Commons in your city.
We got covered on the CBC website yesterday.
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/03/30/f-haiti-rebuild-tapscott.html I posted some pictures from Washington on Facebook. I should add them elsewhere.
On average I am spending 2-3 hours a night on CC work. I know it matters and will be a path of volunteering for life.

I hope you are well btw. I am reading every few days and try to comment occasionally.
