I was contacted to get involved in this as well, so I'm mirroring Chaviva's post on the subject - make sure to vote!
I was recently contacted about something that I absolutely have to share with the masses, and I'm hoping you all will get excited about it and take part in the voting process. Yes, I said voting process.
I'm sure you all have heard about SXSW -- the "South-by-Southwest" Music Festival that takes place in Austin every year. It's one of the nation's biggest music festivals, and it now features one of the world's biggest and most popular New Media Festivals, the SXSW Interactive Festival. A social media proponent contacted me because he has submitted a panel for approval for the Interactive Festival -- Judaism 2.0. From the author, Justin Oberman, the panel is described as such: "In a world that has become somewhat hostile, this panel will explore the different avenues Jews have started using New Media to talk about Judaism, Religion and Israel."
. . .
So this is where you guys come in. I need you to spread the word about this panel, and to go to the SXSW festival website and VOTE in favor of the panel. Justin tells me that although the panel selection is not completely in the hands of voters, it largely is. So I need you guys to vote, vote, and vote some more. If we play our cards right, I might be featured on the panel since I love to gush about the joys of Twitter and Blogging in the frame of Torah Judaism!So go ahead, head over, VOTE, and let me know what you think about the panel and if you have any ideas or suggestions. I'm sure Justin would love to hear them. Also, be sure to look out for his upcoming blog.
Oh, and in case you are confused by all the links, please just click HERE!!!

What's to be confused about? (I still don't know what I'm voting on...)
Hey, thanks for sharing the love. I'm guessing he emailed you?
I told him you'd be PERFECT for the Panel :D
-Altie: you're voting to get Judaism 2.0. approved as a panel at South by South West in Austin this March. Now you know. Now you can vote!
-Chaviva: He did indeed speak to me. I'm interested! Thanks for the thumbs up from you :)
is it a band?
TO quote the venerable Wikipedia: SXSW "is a set of interactive, film, and music festivals and conferences that take place every spring in Austin, Texas. SXSW first began in 1987 and is centered on the downtown Austin Convention Center. Each of the three parts runs relatively independently, with different start and end dates."
This would be for the interactive part.
