			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.netrootsuk.org"><img class="alignright" title="Netroots UK" src="http://www.netrootsuk.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/netrootsuk-icon2001" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>I&#8217;ll be helping out at <a href="http://www.netrootsuk.org">Netroots UK</a>, a big event for progressive online activists on 8 Jan in London. It&#8217;s shaping up to be a very exciting looking day, with practical training sessions running alongside movement strategy stuff, and plenty of neworking opportunities.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m particularly interested in a session looking at how bloggers and online activists can group together to boost each other&#8217;s efforts and reduce their organsiation overheads. From my experience with <a href="http://www.Tigmoo.co.uk" target="_blank">Tigmoo.co.uk</a>, a little can go a long way, and the more &#8220;infrastructure&#8221; projects we can get in the left blogohemisphere the better for all concerned.<span id="more-1179"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be great too to learn from some US speakers &#8211; from Netroots Nation themselves, Blue State Digital, ex-Obama campaigners and hopefully more too (especially on trends where they&#8217;re ahead of us &#8211; the TPA are but the thin end of a wedge, people!).</p>
<p>But at the same time, I think it will have a very UK flavour &#8211; the numbers just don&#8217;t translate between our countries, and politics and the media are very different beasts on both sides. Just linking ourselves up will be value in itself &#8211; imagine the Twitter tax protests fortified with the organisational rigour of Hope Not Hate, or unions learning (shudder) from the flexibility of the student occupations.</p>
<p>2011 is going to be one battle after another, and this is my resolution to get skilled up and linked up for the campaigns to come.</p>
