Planetwork InterActive
June 5 & 6, 2004, San Francisco
The Planetwork InterActive is a largely self-organizing event for
innovators from a variety of fields including information technology,
peace and social justice activism, sustainability, and independent
media exploring how social networks, the internet and information
technology can help create a socially just and ecologically sane world.
There will also be key presentations and panels featuring some of the
stars of online political activism.
Join this interactive forum for collaborators shaping the next
generation of internet tools. All participants will have an
opportunity to propose presentation and discussion topics in a
facilitated process, online and onsite, designed to surface the topics
of greatest interest and promote productive interconnections and
collaboration.
Internet Activism
The Internet has already changed the landscape of political power as
the Dean campaign, Move On, True Majority and others have demonstrated
their ability to raise money and mobilize political voices online.
Social networks may represent the next frontier of Internet Activism.
Social Networking for Social Good
The Identity Commons framework is emerging as a first implementation
of a digital identity protocol which promises to make possible new
levels of self-organization and cooperation throughout civil society.
Both technical and social issues surrounding the implementation of
this new protocol must be considered in parallel and inform each other
at this critical moment.
Join the rapidly expanding community developing and deploying
information technology to benefit humanity and restore the Earth.
