* Summary of working group projects, activities, and/or organizing work.
* If applicable, summary of working group ''(sub)committee'' projects, activities and/or organizing efforts.
* Upcoming deadlines or milestones.
* List of feedback, direction, and support needed from the OC and/or specific working groups.
* Name of representative(s) who submitted the report.

'''To edit this page''', click the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page, scan down to the header for your group and type or cut/paste your info. Use wiki coding to enhance your text, save at bottom of page. '''Brief wiki coding''' (or use icons in edit box):

==Comm-Media==

==Gender Justice==
Gender Justice Report

Work Done and in process:

*Conference calls on a weekly basis continue
*Submitted proposal for Gender PMA at the Social Forum
*In process of developing a Gender printed program

What we need:

*Specifics on how we can rent a tent at the forum
*Contact and regular communication with logistics given gender sensitive security and bathrooms issues

==Indigenous==

== ICT==

* Handled a huge flood of desperate workshop submitters who waited until the last minute to submit their workshop (both prior to 20th and 25th deadlines). To our knowledge, we got everyone taken care of who contacted us prior to the last deadline (we entered a half dozen workshops by hand that we received by email). We had 12 folks who requested support after the deadline (confusion about the time zone of the deadline and very last minute technical problems). We submitted a complete report of these people to P & G for a decision on how to handle them.

* Server move: we moved both the community.ussf2010.org and organize.ussf2010.org web sites to the dedicated USSF server (the www.ussf2010.org site has already been moved). Thanks to the move, during the rush on the 20th, the registration site kept going strong. The organize site (for workshop submissions), however, was under very heavy load for the 20th which caused up to 30 second delays to load a page (but it kept running). We made additional configuration changes later in the week, so that for the rush on the 25th we experienced absolutely no lag or delay on any of the USSF sites.

* Continued improvements for mail-in registrations: now, administrators can accept additional payments to add more registered users for an organization

* Major advances in live video streaming: thanks to the experience of Jamie and Mallory in Cochabamba, Bolivia (for the Global Climate Summit), we now have the skills and server setup to accomodate live video streaming for the US Social Forum

* Advanced searching of organization is complete. You can now search for organizations by city or state: http://organize.ussf2010.org/admin-org-list

* Together with comm - made a giant leap forward with the PMC goals and principles: http://wiki.ussf2010.org/wiki/Media_Center

=== On the horizon ===

* We're almost through with having registrants convert their pay later registration with an online credit card payment

* Continued work on assigning rooms to workshops

* Big plans for Peoples Media Cente

==Language Access==
Technology:
- requested from ICT an access link on home page
- check in with ICT re venue tech (A/V)
- figuring out how to harvest language requests from both participants and workshop presenters
- setting up mechanism for orgs to provide their own translations of their org names when they register

Translation Pipeline
- finishing up translation of main pages on website – mapping rest
- prepping for translation of wksp descriptions (push 4/26-5/12)
- after 5/12

Finance:
- prepping cash flow thru june for finance wg
o equipment
o terp travel and reimbursement
o contracts
- Detroit budget did not have line item for ASL interpreters pending convo with DJWG; post convo need to add at a minimum $4K line item for ASL terps
- Drafted contract for services for interpreters and translators outlining value of donated services and USSF’s commitment to travel/lodging support; pending approval

Equipment:
- Put out call for orgs with terp equipment
- Mapping who is down for lending for forum – trying to negotiate folks bringing with or donating shipping cost so ussf doesn’t have to pay to ship
- Designing system to track all this equipment at forum
- Trying to finalize decision on whether or not to have a booth

Detroit:
- Reaching out to local interpreting community (thanks Rocio)
- Hoping to have an interpreter training in Detroit a few weeks prior to the training

Asks from other groups
- Help recruit more interpreters/translators (still)
- From ICT – work out the A/V of interpreting at venues
- Finance – pending questions of budget, moving fwd with equipment purchase, terp travel, contracts, etc
- Program – communications to workshop presenters re organization names and sending best practices email for wksp providing their own interpreters
- ICT/Program – how to start harvesting language requests from both participants and and presenters
- ICT/DJ – tracking requests for ASL intepreters

===Program===
what we've been working on:
* deadline to submit workshops was last night at midnight. as of 12:45am EST, we'd received:
--950 total workshop and PMA submissions (online; these are not counting the workshops submitted by hand or mail to the Detroit local office)
--of these, 113 are 4hour workshops
--of these, 36 are 4hour PMAs
*manually inputting all of the workshops received by mail or by hand into the online review system:
*thus far, folks with administrative access have been submitting workshops to the online review process. this has predominantly been happening when people will submit a ticket about having trouble submitting online
*however, '''WE DO NOT HAVE AN ACCURATE COUNT''' of people who are / have mailed in a workshop submission form manually. '''We need ALL of the manually submitted workshops from the DLOC office so that they can be inputted''' and we can have an accurate count (thank you to Ife, Gwen, and Oya for helping to make that happen!) if anyone else has manual workshops to submit, they need to be mailed to alicia garza @ POWER

what's coming up:
*program folks (walda, jerome, kiran and alicia) are headed out to detroit in two weeks to cohere all of the workshop submissions with rooms for them to be held in. we are working with ife, topeka and maureen to get a master grid of all of the reserved locations that can support workshops (2 hour and 4 hour) and PMA's.
*'''we need the master grid to be able to put all workshops in rooms by May 13 for the printed program'''
*we'll be sending out acceptance emails to all workshop submissions that have been accepted and let them know information about room, size / capacity, day and other logistical information

'''what we need discussed today:'''
*we need an update from logistics about the state of the master grid and how soon we can get that in hand
*need to finalize the number of email and mail submissions so that we can have an accurate count of what we're working with.

Jamie: /* Collaborative Tools */

The USSF is committed to using high-tech and low-tech tools that help us communicate to mass audiences. To advance this, the NPC has adopted ten [http://ict.ussf2010.org/wiki/technology_principles Principles for Developing Technology for the US Social Forum in 2010]. Among our need to build, share, and use popular culture tools such as Facebook, Twitter & YouTube, the social forum needs to develop free and open source software (FOSS) alternatives. The Information Communications and Technology [http://ict.ussf2010.org/ ICT] Working Group will lead the effort of putting these technology principles into practice. Whenever possible, we will use and promote the use of FOSS and reduce our dependence on private/corporate tools that require licensing fees and have usage restrictions.

==Collaborative Tools==
* This [[wiki]]!
* [http://notes.ussf2010.org The USSF 2010 Notes server] is a free and open source real time note pad for meeting note taking! [http://etherpad.com/ EtherPad] is a closed source, corporate alternative - ([http://etherpad.com/FbCD58wxms USSF common page], [http://etherpad.com/XwPE1Gyyej another USSF common page]).
* Skype - owned by eBay - a good voice and video program - closed source - [http://gizmo5.com/pc/ Gizmo] is open source. We also have [http://asterisk.org Asterisk] plus sip phones like [http://ekiga.net ekiga] as options.
* IM
* IRC - Instant Relay Chat - In 2007, we used [http://www.ussf2007.org/ict/gaim_install_configure silc] [irc://irc.oftc.net/#ussf link here]. I think having a simple web client is a good idea and will help participants. Also - I know that [http://riseuplabs.org/crabgrass/ Crabgrass] has a chat component. (if you can't get there, try this link: [http://java.freenode.net/index.php?channel=USSF Freenode website]
* Laconi.ca - open source blogging platform - developer is very interested in helping the [[US Social Forum]] get their own (like [http://identi.ca Identi.ca] and [http://army.twit.tv/doc/about twit.tv]).

== PROJECTS ==

===What are Projects===
Projects are basically mini-working groups, but geared towards a much smaller body of work. Projects were added in order to lower the barriers of resistance for people wishing to contribute to the work of organizing the 2010 United States Social Forum. Joining a Working Group can be a daunting process because they are responsible for so much and it can be really hard to find a task to start working To see the original proposal for working groups look here: [[ProjectsProposal]].

Please note, Projects are a very new concept and the Project pages are not very fleshed out right now. Over the next few weeks expect much more work being done on this.

===Requirements===
Projects require the following things
* Sponsoring Working Group(s)
* Contact Person(s)
* Status (i.e. Active, Completed, Future)

===Listing Projects Now and in Future===
Currently, project pages are just wiki pages. But in the very near future project pages will have a group page on http://organize.ussf2010.org which will allow
* people to join the group
* a place where group members can post content
* a list serve for communicating
* a searchable interface for people looking for projects to join

===Adding Projects===
But for right now to add a project eidt this wiki page to list your project and then create a separate wiki page describing your project. (make sure you have all the above requirements!) or email Mark Libkuman via libkuman @ openflows.com and he'll add your project information.

(Reposted from Email, 6-10-09)

Hermano Alfredo and I discussed a little how to get started as a web committee, and came up with '''some questions that should help us leap into getting an infant web site online by June 22, and generally start working together as a committee'''.

First we need to know what we can do, and what we must do. So we're asking you to answer the following questions ASAP. Could you send answers -- as much as you can -- by (or on) '''Sat. the 13th''' so we don't let this slide any further? Thanks much.

;1. What are your skills/interests, and what skills/time can you contribute quickly for the June 22 launch?

:* '''Lou:''' basic HTML, Drupal installation & administration. 6-8 hours a week
:* '''Nancy:''' Web design & coding & information architecture, php & my sql programming & some javascript, photoshop, dreamweaver to organize sites, etc., cartoons, writing. I worked with Plone a few years back and really hated it because it made it harder to get at the basic programming and design. I checked out Drupal but prefer to create my own cms, so I'm not sure how I fit in with working on a drupal/civiCRM site.
:* '''Sylvia:''' some basic html, wiki, MS Frontpage (but don't like it); can help out a few hours, as needed.
:* '''Jamie:''' I can help with any larger server issues or Drupal installation problems, but will be mostly focusing on the CiviCRM installation during this period.

;2. What do you believe absolutely has to be on the web site for the June 22 launch?

:* '''Lou:''' USSF contact info: email (DetroitInfo@USSF2010.org), and phone (877-515-USSF); sign up for email list: announce@ussf2010.org; '''Sylvia''' ditto.
:* '''Nancy:''' There should be some real human content -- showing real people, not just abstract ideas. A news release will go out, so we hope to get visitors who don't know anything about us -- we need to create a sense of excitement and desire to participate as well as give basic info.
:* '''Alfredo:''' (please edit, Alfredo!)The key is to show what people need to know (that it's going to happen, where, what kind of work being done, workgroups are meeting, process has begun), and encourage them to do what they need to do.
:* '''Tech group discussion:''' What we want them to do? Be excited about the potential and come back, keep in touch. An email list sign-up as the first step.
:* '''Sylvia:''' Ditto on ''excitement.'' Plus, list of Detroit committees and contacts, and list of national Working Groups and contacts; NPC list and meeting dates; info from Save the Date announcement; media/press release page; main location site info (Cobo Hall and Hart Plaza, downtown Detroit on the waterfront across from Windsor, Canada); USSF Staff (Maureen Taylor chuteh7@hotmail.com and William Copeland williamwholenote@gmail.com); link to this planning wiki.
:* '''Jamie:''' Clear links on how to sign up to get more information and how to make a donation (both of which should be links to the http://community.ussf2010.org/ site).

;3. What do we want on the web site ASAP if at all possible?

:* '''Lou:''' contribution form, user/participant info/registration form
:* '''Sylvia''' ditto, plus perhaps existing Project South/USSF link to PayPal--short-term use only, Stephanie's looking into it; video from USSF Atlanta.

;4. Initial thoughts about presentation, organization?

:* '''Lou:''' none
:* '''Sylvia''' include pages for Detroit, Working Groups, NPC info (members, how to join), People's Movement Assembly, contact info; links to USSF Atlanta and WSF; images with various people of color, workers, abilities/disabilities, etc.

;5. Skills/time you can contributed after the launch - for starters, no need for definitive answer now

:* '''Lou:''' same as 1 above; '''Sylvia''' ditto.

;6. What absolutely must be on the web site after the June launch -- could start to think about that now, to be continued after the launch

:* '''Sylvia:''' Organizing timeline from now till June 2010 (from NPC-LOC); perhaps a calendar with links to USSF-related events around the country (e.g. local/regional social forums, fundraisers).

;7. Nice stuff it would be good to have if possible -- don't need to answer now, to be continued...

:* '''Sylvia:''' The ability for anyone to edit (perhaps with a login) non-core parts of the site, especially Working Groups, Detroit committees, social movement organizations, allies, etc with related content; and a place/way to allow feedback on the site.

Feel free to add other comments, of course. Like how else we can best start working together on this site ...

Also, does anyone know the status of the logo process we discussed in the communications meeting a while back?

Thanks much. Look forward to our first challenge working together and seeing what we can do under pressure, which in my experience is how just about everything gets done, sigh.

I'll be giving my personal answers to the questions too, of course, but didn't want to do it alone.

More abrazos,
Nancy

==Collaborative Tools==
* This [[wiki]]!
* [http://etherpad.com/ EtherPad] - real time note pad for meeting note taking! ([http://etherpad.com/FbCD58wxms USSF common page]). EtherPad is really user friendly, but unfortunately closed source. I've used [http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/ gobby], however, I don't think it has a web based client. I did just discover [https://bespin.mozilla.com Bespin] - which is both free/open source and a web based interface. It looks a bit harder to use and is more geared toward developers though.
* Skype - owned by eBay - a good voice and video program - closed source - think that [http://gizmo5.com/pc/ Gizmo] is open source. We also have [http://asterisk.org Asterisk] plus sip phones like [http://ekiga.net ekiga] as options.
* IM
* IRC - Instant Relay Chat - one for [[USSF]] is set up here [http://embed.mibbit.com/?server=irc.freenode.org&channel=%23USSF #USSF]. In 2007, we used [http://www.ussf2007.org/ict/gaim_install_configure silc]. I think having a simple web client is a good idea and will help participants. Also - I know that [http://riseuplabs.org/crabgrass/ Crabgrass] has a chat component.
* Laconi.ca - open source blogging platform - developer is very interested in helping the [[US Social Forum]] get their own (like Identi.ca and [http://army.twit.tv/doc/about twit.tv]).

==Information Tools==
* Excel to [[Wiki]] [http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~sdouglas/table.cgi converter]--this wiki cannot upload .xls files but you can still post spreadsheet data with this converter program.
* RSS
* Google Alerts - closed source
* Yahoo Pipes - closed source

Jamie: /* Request for removal */

{{RightTOC}}
The Onlie Content Policy covers all sites ending with the domain ussf2010.org. It provides a general approach for how content submitted to these sites will be treated.

It began from the conversation starting [http://ict.ussf2010.org/ticket/15 here].

==Login v Anonymous==
On the question of logins, for example, there's a fine balance between allowing people to contribute content to web sites without the onerous restrictions of getting a login vs. promoting the development of confidence and trust through online collaboration.

:''I think that allowing for anonymous edits will not get in the way of developing confidence and trust in a wiki space. ~~ MarkDilley''

::''True, it won't get in the way. However, I think we should promote logins as a way of promoting confidence and trust and an online identity. ~~Jamie''

In the case of this trac instance, we're allowing people to post without a login - anonymously, in an effort to make asking for help as easy as possible.

In [http://ict.ussf2010.org/ticket/14 ticket #14] - we've gone back and forth on anonymous edits.

For other sites (like registration and workshop submission) - I think we'll unquestionably want to require a login so people can have control over the content without needing an admin to update their information (and have to guess as to whether or not they really are the person who entered it).

: ''I don't share this unquestionable assertion - I do agree that we want people to update their information without going through a gatekeeper/webmaster - but I think it is quite reasonable to allow open editing as our starting point. ~~ MarkDilley''

:: '' I like the idea of allowing open editing on as much as possible - even as a starting point for all content (except when we will be asking for private information - see below). In places where we have open editing - a login is truly not a requirement. I think in some places (for example workshop submissions), we may want to fight hard for open editing - something that will require some fighting since it goes against the grain of what most organizers expect. There may be other instances (such as edits to www.ussf2010.org, access to remove members from an email list, ability to delete content without a backup, etc. that we probably will want to keep logins. ~~ Jamie''

==Hate Speech or Threats of Violence==
Will be removed from the wiki immediately

==Privacy Issues==
Respect people privacy - do not post private information without prior knowledge of it being ok and if every information is not wanted here - delete it. Wiki does have a history function that we can work around in needed cases - delete page and repopulate with current info.

As organizers, access to information is critically important to building our movement. Our data belongs to the movement. Therefore, all data submitted to a ussf2010.org is assumed to be public data unless otherwise noted. Exceptions include:

* Contact information that is specifically indicated as private in the form requesting it
* Credit card information (for registration)

==Politically Motivated Attacks==
Attacks of a personal or direct nature will be [[revert]]ed. Argue viewpoints if that's what's wanted but keep the personal out of it.

Example:
: ''Alfredo's perspective is wrong.''

Rather than:
: ''Alfredo is an aging, rigid fool and his opinions reflect that.''

Doing that not only solves the instant issue but many other similar potential abuses. It also respects the fact that no opinion belongs to any one person -- we express an opinion after discussions and experiences with huge numbers of people -- experiencing a universe of thinking -- and once we express it, it becomes part of that same universe of thinking and is not longer ours.

Best practice is to:

# -- Stay on topic
# -- Argue the idea...not the person.

== Removal of Content ==

Some ussf2010.com content is on sites in which all changes and deletions are archived. Other content is on sites in which changes changes or deletions are permanent.

When removing content, we encounter disagreements as to whether the content should be removed or not. For content in which changes or removals is permanent - how do we preserve that content for the sake of transparency?

For content that is hate speech or incitements of violence - do we remove it completely if it's on a site that preservers the history?

==Spam==
On the wiki, spam is a community solution - a wiki is a community of people building a 'place' and keeping the graffiti out is just part of the 'place' - we don't want a police state of lockdown - but we do want to intelligently decide what the next minimum step is needed. Always do the least that we can possibly do to make it work. ~~ MarkDilley

----
I think as we continue developing these resources, we're likely to face spam, politically motivated attacks, requests for information to be taken down, and other challenges that will be very difficult for us to evaluate without some collective thinking in advance.
