In searching for potentially community valuable Web based content I've primarily been looking with two things in mind: (1) Allows shared experience (hence the movie, once it's seen the experience of the film becomes shared and increases similarities which in turn increases the possibility of empathy). (2) Increases the ability to effectively work together. Many of the tools that my searching turns up have been created to increase business productivity and efficiency. I see no reason why many (if not all) of these tools could not be used by community activists. With that said, tonight's link is to a free online web conference service called Yugma. As well, I include a link to an interesting study about the economic impact of the Open Source revolution on the European Union. It makes me happy.

 Greetings all! After much interpersonal debate, chatting with business owners, patrons of said businesses, and consulting with family and friends, I have decided to run for Olympia City Council, Position 2. However, I have run into a major snag. I have, after much searching on the 'net, found absolutely NOTHING as far as information on how to get my name on tha ballot. My next step is to go down to City Hall and ask them, but I suspect that the Powers That Be may not have that information readily availible. Being a "political outsider", I also suspect that the reason such information is not made availible to the general public (via the internet) is because those in power do not wish to lose it. Indeed, when I go down to City Hall, I expect to be pointed to a filing cabinet and told: "If you want to run, the information is somewhere in there, somewhere." Can anyone please point me to a resource that doesn't involve me leaving my house? Thank you in advance. Here's a web-version of my campaign poster for your enjoyment. |
