In this session it is proposed that we discuss how - as a community of e-campaigning practitioners - we wish to proceed.
This is based on the assumption that as a community we do want to collaborate online and offline. If you don't feel it is necessary, we could use this agenda time in other ways in so speak UP.
Possibilities for working more as a community
Using eCampaigning Forum site:
- For sharing ideas (forums/email lists/wikis/blogs)
- As an archive of what others have done (copies of email actions, of web actions, etc.)
- As a place to trial new technologies
- As a place to list and access the open source e-campaigning related developments of members
- As a place to post/get news on e-campaigning related developments
Using eCampaigning Forum network:
- Find partners to collaborate (budget & time) on technical developments
- Share findings on e-campaigning performance
- Promote job openings and other opportunities
- Other?
This will take facilitation to get and keep going which FairSay is willing to do. At the last event this was discussed by a small sub-set of participants but never happened due to life interupting (Duan became a father and his brother was killed in a climbing accident)
Future eCampaigning Forum Events?
Each year - the eCampaigning Forum events has been at different times of the year based on my availability to organise it. However it may be easier to plan for (by you and me) if we fix a general time each year. When would be the best times of year for you?

I like the idea of having a forum, and would love it to link to "Web of Change" as a "European version" (several "WoCers?" are coming: George, Rob, Katrin, myself) -- IMHO, one of the strong points of "WoC?" is to also set aside time for personal development, which really helps to succeed in what you do.

Yes, I agree. A forum sounds good. I'm not familiar with the Web of Change (would love to know more). And in terms of a regular annual meeting time, the first half of January is good, as work is rarely too busy straight after the holiday. Susie (s-t-m)

I agree - around this time of the year is good (not so busy at work) and people are fresh from their winter break. Karen (Amnesty International)
[others, please add to this]? notes from session -- Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:01:19 -0600 reply
In case it'll save someone (Sarah?) some typing... here are my (incomplete) notes from this session. Perhaps other people who took notes can add to them as well. Sarah, are you typing up the lists that were generated in this and other sessions? If so, thanks and I look forward to seeing them. —Roz
