The second Tuesday of each month, social change-makers and web innovators get together to network, socialize and share ideas at Net Tuesday, an event produced by NetSquared, http://www.netsquared.org, a project of TechSoup, http://www.techsoup.org.

Darian will be be sharing how Village started, where the project is now, and where they want to be by 2009. Fully developed, Village is a multiplayer real time strategy game that immerses the player into the role of an entrepreneur building companies to bring prosperity to the villages of the developing world.
