			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Race Online 2012</strong> has today declared a target of getting 100% of the UK&#8217;s working age population online by 2012.</p>
<p>This is a key part of Digital Inclusion, missing only the key point as to where any funding for it comes from!</p>
<p>There is a website for the campaign here <a href="http://www.raceonline2012.org" target="_blank">www.raceonline2012.org</a> and the new manifesto <strong>&#8220;Manfesto for a Networked Nation&#8221;</strong> can be read online or <a href="http://raceonline2012.org/sites/default/files/resources/manifesto_for_a_networked_nation.pdf" target="_blank">downloaded here</a>.</p>
<p>Take a look at the news article on the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10575266.stm" target="_blank">BBC here</a>.</p>
<p>As part of a useful toolkit there is also the &#8220;Pass IT on&#8221; website and resources (<a href="http://www.helppassiton.co.uk" target="_blank">www.helppassiton.co.uk</a>).  Can our community organisations help others to make the most of IT &amp; the Internet??</p>
<p>Bearing in mind that funding via the &#8220;Digital Participation Fund&#8221; is no longer available (<a href="http://www.digitalparticipation.com/about/how-we-work/applications" target="_blank">see details here</a>), where might these initiatives be funded?<br />
I&#8217;ve created a new <a href="http://www.vanelhub.org.uk/itnet/groups/digital-inclusion/"><strong>&#8220;Digital Participation&#8221; Group</strong></a> on this website.  So if you have comments or thoughts to share on the local implications of these national strategies then please join the group!</p>
