I'm interested in all three of the points Ben mentions... I'd be happy 
to give the ecological and social costs of technology talk in various 
places (and that would fit the Green Gathering bill if people are 
interested in that too) and help out with other bits and bobs (there are 
various talks about media and activism I've given in the past which 
could be resurrected). Time wise I should be able to put in at least a 
few days to help sort stuff out.

Re:Documenting workshops, The presentation that goes with the talk I 
gave is available here:

and a selected bibliography can be found at:

Finally... BarnCamp was loadsa fun, thanks to everyone who made it such 
a great few days

Cheers
