Whether it's about equal marriage or Star Wars, the next election promises to be full of fun. With minority governments lasting on average 18 months in Canada, we could be facing an election soon.

The February 2005 Social Tech Brewing - "How to Get Involved in the Next Election" - is all about linking tech types with political campaigners, starting conversations, and making Canada a better place.

We are going to bring together some Toronto-area campaigners and techies who worked on the last election, talk about some of the things that worked (and didn't work) online, and offer lots of time for meeting like-minded folks in an informal setting.

We hope you can join us at the Fields Institute (222 College St., one block East of Spadina and College, North side) at 5:30 pm, Thursday, February 3. We will be adjourning to The Red Room, 444 Spadina, one block south of College, West side) for beverages and more informal talk at around 6:45 pm.

Please help spread the word so that techies interested in politics and politicos interested in tech will show up!
