Hi Jens - I'm Kris - I host the Aussie/Kiwi group here on Nexus. I'm also the media and communications consultant for the forthcoming "Rise of Atheism" Global Atheist Convention to be held in Melbourne in March 2010. The Convention is being organized jointly by Atheist Alliance International and the Atheist Foundation of Australia.

I wonder if you could let your members know that tickets for the convention are now available online at the Convention website. We are expecting nearly 3,000 delegates, so this convention is going to be huge.

Confirmed speakers include: Richard Dawkins, AC Grayling, PZ Myers, Dan Barker, Peter Singer, Taslima Nasrin and many more.

Anything you can do to help us get the word out would be greatly appreciated.

Jens, I'm responding to a comment in your group. Atheist Nexus may be helmed by a US citizen, but I do believe the intention is for the site to be an international site. It's been run on a shoestring so far, and mostly by volunteers.

Nice to "meet" you!

thank you Jens. i'll give it a shot now.
