Help send Noneck Noel around the world

June 29th, 2007

My good friend Noel is planning to spend the next 7 months seeing the world. He’s going to be bringing 2 important things with him. First, he’ll be bringing his love of all things open - open conferences, open-source software, etc, demonstrating how people can accomplish amazing things by helping each other. Second, he’ll be bringing his camera, and sharing the things that he sees and learns with the rest of us.

I don’t know if he’ll make it to everything he plans to, but I’m anxious to see where Noel’s journey takes him and watch as he goes. It’s only 11.11 to chip in, I’m doubling down on the luck of seven myself tonight

Noel is planning a very unique trip around the world, open-source style. He calls the project “Luck of Seven,” and he’s preparing to depart on July 7th. That’s 07/07/07. He’s also trying to raise $7777.77 for the trip. Clearly, Noel’s got a thing for sevens. For seven months, he’ll traverse the seven continents, dive into the seven oceans, and attempt to visit the seven ancient wonders of the world. Using a new media voodo (blog, vlog, wiki, flickr, couchsurfing, twitter, myspace, dopplr, and facebook), Noel will harness the collective knowledge of the globe and report weekly on seven topics relating to freedom and the organic component of digital communication.

If we all chip in, Noel’s going to make that trip and bring the world to us. Make a donation, spread the word, post about Noel in your own blog or at the very least, visit his site and show your support.
