In Sweden we have an election to the Parliament this autumn, in September.
There is a lot of bloggers who has one thing that unite them: none of them want the alliance of rightwing parties to win the election and take place inthe government.
One day for a month ago I had a lunch with one blogger and we talked about internet and the election.
He said: It would be great it there was a seminar, a conference, for inspiring all these internetactivists and bloggers.
I asked: Who do you would like to come?
- Joe Trippi, he is that one who really would inspire us. But I suppose he is impossible to get here.
Well, in my job I am responsible for webcommunication and I also administrate some blogs in my job and I arrange seminars for educating and inspire our own bloggers, who blog for and about trade unions issues.
I have got requests many times from free blogger is we cant arrange seminar for more than our own bloggers.
So, well, I talked with my boss and she said: Go for it.
I send an email to Joe Trippi - and guess what: He has accepted.
After that I came in touch with the webcommunicators for the socialdemocratic party and we have started to co-operate in some internet-issues, so they joined this plans for the Conference.
I am proud to now be be presenting:
Netroot 2006: Swedish netactivists against a rightwing government
A joint seminar between LO and the Social Democrats
More then hundred Swedish internetactivists and bloggers are invited to this inspiring seminar in the first chamber in the Parliament Saturday 20:th May.
