Open Source E-Democracy and Local Issues Forums
Date: Wednesday, September 14, 2005
Time: 09:30 - 11.30
Place: Instituut voor Publiek en Politiek (IPP), Prinsengracht

RSVP to: s.lenos@publiek-politiek.nl
Steven Clift, Board Chair of E-Democracy.Org and international expert
on the use of the Internet in democracy, will present on Local Issues
Forums and GroupServer.
GroupServer is a new open source online group tool that combines e-
mail lists and web forums. By hosting the new UK-based local Issues
Forums in Brighton & Hove and Newham, E-Democracy.Org is opening a
new
path toward open source collaboration among e-democracy initiatives
around the world. Issues Forum evolved from the world's first
election-oriented website in 1994, Minnesota E-Democracy. Today
E-Democracy.Org hosts citizen- based local forums in Minnesota and
England. They are effectively designed to have an agenda- setting
impact on local communities.
Those attending this free session are asked to download and review
the
Issues Forum Guidebook <http://e-democracy.org/uk/guide.pdf> before
the session. More documents and multimedia are available
<http://e-democracy.org/uk>.
Whether you want to create an Issues Forum in your local community or
are interested in applying lessons related to online facilitation of
political discussions to your own projects, this session will have
value to you. If you are mostly interested in the open source
aspects,
details on GroupServer should also be reviewed before the session
<http://e-democracy.org/groupserver>.
This two hour session will include an overview of Issues Forum, a
tour
of GroupServer, and a discussion of the potential for open source
collaboration in e-democracy projects around the world. This
presentation builds on a similar event in London from June (audio
webcast available): http://www.dowire.org/wiki/Issues_forum_event
