A special blog has been set up to post English note and summary taken from the speeches and panel discussions in Chinese Blogger Conference. The blog was hosted on Blogspot, which is still inaccessible in many areas of mainland China without using proxy. It would be also on a Wordpress.com blog soon. Thanks for Angelo Embuldeniya to do the setup and blog post. Rebecca and Cathyma are also doing a fabulous translation job on the IRC Channel.
