Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.

A blog post about collective wisdom - for those seeking to know more about graphic recording

An incredible resource - Toolkit and instructional guides about how social media strategies and tools can enable nonprofit organizations to create, compile, and distribute their stories and change the world.

This collaborative wiki is an incredible resource for non-profits on when and how to use social media tools to "to create, compile, and distribute their stories and change the world." World Café GiGi and non-profit technology maven Beth Kanter is working with the folks at NTEN (Non-profit Technology Network) to develop it.

From Keith McCandless:

It was wild ride and a great privilege to be a part of this fabulous event. A “spiritual Olympics” comes to Seattle.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu were amazing. Like many others, I was strongly attracted to their goodness and depth of compassion in the face of despair. I hope the story of graphically recording the event shares some of the love, forgiveness, and insight generated over these five glorious days.

[World Café GiGi (Girl Geek) Nancy White was among the graphic recorders in Seattle.]
