As you are probably aware, behind the scenes we are busily working on the organization of the 2nd Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is almost all set up - all that is missing are maps and information about travel, directions, etc. (and the dinner wiki) which will be there by the end of August. We will open the registration on September 1st, but you can always e-mail me with questions or to tell me about your intentions to register.
The program is slowly taking shape (go look - we have already lined up some phenomenal people to lead discussions), though I guess there will still be many changes and updates until the timetable and the content are firmly set in stone. The conference promises to be much bigger and better than the last one!
At this point, we are primarily working on securing funding. You (or your organization/company) can sponsor the conference (we'll need cash, food, t-shirts, swag and other items), or donate, or sign up to volunteer.
If you click on this link you should be able to download a PDF file of a promotional flyer. Spread the word about the conference by printing out a few and pinning them to bulletin boards in places where you work or live.
Finally, let me use this post for my monthly reminder to nominate posts, your own or other bloggers', for the 2nd science blogging anthology. Multiple submissions from the same blog are welcome. Use this online form. And go here to pick up the code that can help you spread the word about it.

Haven't we had enough of framing science? Must that be the keynote?
