Version 1.0 of the Global Digital Activism Set is now available.

Last month my other initiative, the Digital Activism Research Project, released version 1.0 of the Global Digital Activism Data Set (GDADS), a collection of digital activism cases from around the world, created as an open resource to scholars.  I am finally getting around to posting the announcement here, which seems only fair as GDADS began at the Meta-Activism Project.
