We've just implemented Flickr Photo Badges (http://www.flickr.com/badge.gne) on the OC homepage. If you happen to have photos from past Organizers' Collaborative events, such as the Grassroots Use of Technology Conference or Organizational Divide Initiative Training, upload them to Flickr (free account at http://www.flicker.com) and tag them wiht "OCTech".

It will be fun to see our collective photo memory grow!!!!

This just in from NPower, a national nonprofit technology support organization.
