SOCIAL FORUMS 2.0?: TOWARDS NETWORKED POLITICS: TECHNOLOGY AND KNOWLDEGE
Friday 30th January 2009 - Second Slot (12hpm-15hpm)

* Seminar description: The techno-tools provided by the Social Forums seems
to have limited success. The goal of this seminar is to reflect on the
strategy of Social Forums regarding technology and knowledge and to analyze
and learn from the distinctive organizational form on experiences that do an
extensive use of the new technology, such as Wikipedia and the Open/Free
Software projects. Members of the Communications and web working groups of
different Social Forums will be present together with people connected to
the experiences of technological innovation and the Free Culture movements
and movements for the universal access to knowledge.
The methodology of the seminar will be a collective conversation and
discussion where all participants play an active role.

Forums; Elizabeth Stark (Students for Free Culture and Icommons (USA); Mayo
