> Dear everybody!
>
> During the last month a group of us have been trying to organise a  
> working seminar on Networked Politics and Technology in the Bay  
> Area. We are making the most of the fact that some of us are at  
> present in the US. It has taken some time to get everything  
> organised. Now we can confirm it. It will take place in Berkeley on  
> the weekend of the 6th and 7th of December 2008. It will be hosted  
> by the School of Information – UC Berkeley. We are also organising  
> a public event at San Francisco the day before, on Friday the 5th,  
> in collaboration with the Global Commons Foundation and the  
> International Forum on Globalisation.
>
> This working seminar is a step towards an projects to develop the  
> work of Networked Politics and related ideas at the World Social  
> Forum in Betlem (January 2008). There will be two participants in  
> the workshop from Brazil, working towards the WSF.
>
> The goals of organizing this working group in the San Francisco Bay  
> Area are: to expand the exchanges and the cooperation in the  
> Networked Politics project between Europe and the United States; to  
> connect and learn from the experiences of social forums and social  
> movements in both continents as well as from the WSF; to benefit  
> from the uniqueness of the technological innovations and free  
> culture, research and experiences based at the Bay Area; and to  
> prepare activities which strengthen the contribution of Networked  
> Politics to the development of the WSF.
>
> The structure of the seminar is organized on three lines of  
> discussion in the seminar (Weekend) and a fourth line of discussion  
> addressed in a public session (Friday afternoon).
>
> * First line of discussion: Governance of platforms for  
> participation: Social forum and online collaborative communities
> * Second line of discussion: When do new social media and political  
> activism converge/match?
> * Third line of discussion: New institutions: the rediscovery of  
> the commons.
> * Fourth section of discussion: Movement Organizing and Networked  
> Politics: The experience of the Social Forums. This discussion will  
> also attempt explicitly to address the  challenges and  
> opportunities posed to networked politics by the financial crisis.
>
> The participants expected are mainly people based at the Bay Area.
>
> How to follow the seminar from abroad?
>
> Materials for the working group will be sent to this e-list and be  
> available through the Networked-politics.info website. A reader is  
> in preparation and the discussions will be recorded and the audio  
> files will be put available online. If we are able to find  
> resources, a publication of edited transcripts of the discussion  
> will also provided.
> We are trying to provide broadcasting, so that some e-participants  
> will be able to follow the seminar and eventually transmit  
> questions and comments through a chat-room. We will circulate a  
> call for contributions to the reader in the next day or so. All  
> it's content  will of course  be copyleft
