Welcome to the Organizing Wiki
This is the beginning of what we hope will be a vibrant, open, and democratic website to share ideas, proposals, and comments about LOC planning efforts for the US Social Forum in Detroit 2010. Read the USSF Vision and Goals for a greater understanding of the process and model that we will use to manifest our political impact, organizing, and structural efforts to create Another world is possible. Another U.S. is necessary!
Please use this space for your organizing. Post thoughts, comments, ideas. Wikis are wonderful for collaborations. Have at it!
Local Organizing Committee Projects and Communication
Some initial categories include:
- Participants - on this page identify yourself, and affiliations and particular interests.
- Meetings and Notes - on this page please list and view all upcoming meetings and past meetings with notes.
- Logistics and Proposals - on this page please list and view proposals being developed for the National Planning Committee gathering at the end of the March
- Committees - on this page is a list of current working committees.
- Comments/Suggestions/Questions - please add your comments or suggestions for how we can work better as a LOC (including work on this wiki) and post any questions you may have.
This is an initial starting point and main page for the Detroit Local Organizing Committee. At the end of this month there will be a gathering to help all of us figure out, together, how we will be using technology on the road to the social forum.
