Today Anu sent me a link to a Facebook group with this same title. I jokingly told people "when I'm 40 years old I will start this party if no one else did before then". Fortunately I won't have to, anymore. Of course, it's happenning in Finland. <a href="http://www.wikiparty.net/wiki/User:Olli_Sir%C3%A9n" title="User:Olli Sirén">Olli Sirén</a> was considering to run a campaign to the Helsinki City Council. From the main page of <a href="http://wikiparty.net">wikiparty.net:</a> <blockquote><em>Wikiparty is bringing new ways to do politics. It´s based on the idea of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_politics" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_politics" rel="pleasefollow">open politics</a>. This site will be the international basis for this new party. The movement has started in Finland and will spread around the world in one form or another. Democracy is grown weak around the world. Voting percentages are in a steady decline.</em> Let's put together a <strong>Wikiparty</strong>. A party that creates its political opinions in the same way that Wikipedia forms its articles. Let's try to think ways to systematically create political force. This party could vote for its representatives to different political parliaments. These "agents" of Wikiparty would interpret the ideas of Wikiparty to real voting situations and pass the ideas of the <span class="new">community to the parliament</span>. This way we could challenge the traditional parties to a debate between weak and <a href="http://www.wikiparty.net/wiki/Strong_democracy" title="Strong democracy">strong democracy</a>. This kind of virtual community that aims to a real life political chance, could reach over national borders and grasp problems caused by for example globalization or climate change.</blockquote> And yesterday I <a href="http://healthhacker.org/satoroams/wp-trackback.php?p=836">learned about</a> <a href="http://kaltura.com">Kaltura</a>, a social-networky video editing tool, kind-of-a crossbred between wiki, and youtube with the promise to release their software under the GNU General Public license.<a href="http://dev.riseup.net/crabgrass/"></a></div></div></div> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:11:52 +0000 Guaka 189 at http://guaka.org
