Anything you would like to say about you or your projects?: I'm an entrepreneur and councillor for New Technologies in Copons, a small village in Catalonia, Spain. I spend my time learning, teaching at school, and starting new colaborative projects through my small company, Redall.

When I became a councillor I put into motion a project of digital inclusion and citizen participation using free web tools: Copons 2.0. It was one year before we could see benefits, problems, results... We've progressed by trial & error and now we are engaged in more projects like ours in villages near Copons. I've just started a new project called "La Teva Alta Anoia" (Your Alta Anoia), thinking in a big development project.

You can get more information in my personal blog: www.theplateishot.com. I write about my projects, my learnings, and I publish my agenda as a public servant.

I'm sure we'll find that some things in the social media world are the same - but many are different, depending on local context. I hope you will let us know what you think on that front - or any other. Do let me know if I can help in any way.
