FreeCulture.org has always been about getting action on the ground and creating chapters that make an impact in their local communities. But the network that has tied these chapters together, and even inspired them to start, has always been the Internet.
Recently we had the pleasure of unveiling a new website, and as Web Team Leader I want to go one step further: What could freeculture.org's technology do to make your life of promoting Free Culture easier? How can we retain volunteers, put them to use, get the right information to them, and respond to the public's desire to know more about us? Unfortunately, neither I nor the other volunteers who have contributed technical help have infinite time, so there's no way we'll get to every task on the wishlist. But the only way we can know what you need is if you come by. So this is an announcement: **Meeting**: * Where: #freeculture (go to our "Contact" page for more info on using IRC, including a web-based chat client) * When: 5 PM Eastern Time ([convert to your time zone][1]) on Sunday 12 August, 2007 * More info: [Meeting planning page on our wiki][2] The meeting's goal is to help the web team understand what tools would help people already involved with FreeCulture.org activities to grow or improve those activities. That's anyone from chapter members to bloggers to IRC lurkers. If you want to get involved, then come too and we'll see if you can help us understand how to keep you involved. - Asheesh.
