Conference Call with Beverley Pomeroy, Founder of PincGiving

[Peter Deitz]

Hi Everyone (including new members),

Beverley will be presenting PincGiving on a conference call scheduled
for Thursday at 2:00pm Pacific.

For those of you new to the list, Beverley has been an active member of
the Social Actions google group. She's lent her business expertise to
our planning and has been on several 1-on-1 conversations with Christine
and I.

The conference call that shines a light on the feature set of PincGiving
is the least we can do to thank Beverley for her interest and support of
Social Actions.

I blogged about the conference call here:
http://blog.socialactions.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2062983%3ABlogPost%3A2481

The format will be similar to Heather Cronk's presentation of PledgeBank
back in March. Beverley will make a presentation and then we'll open
the line for Q&A.

This is the first conference call Social Actions has hosted that's open
to the public. I'll be curious to see the response.

**Please RSVP so I know who from the Google Group is joining us..***

Hope to see many of you on the line.

All the best,
Peter

Hey Peter (and group)-

I am incredibly disappointed that I will miss the call.  I will be in Salem (OR capital) where we are testifying about potential law effecting whether or not state laws and other publications are in the public domain and thus reproducible or not.  Could have huge impact on social services, nonprofits, and public information spaces (including wikipedia, connec+ipedia, etc.) if they decide to copyright and license all of it.  So, a good cause, but I am disappointed to miss the call.  The hearing begins at 10:45 a. 

Is there any way notes or archive will be available?

Thanks and best of luck with the call!
Amy

Hi Amy,

I'll be writing up notes from the call. If I'm really clever, I'll find
a way to record the conversation and post it as a podcast.

Good luck at the hearings.

All the best,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I'm going to try to join (if no other work takes priority). Small detail:
your blog post says Thursday June 18, but it's June 19.

You might have a look at some Skype call recording software, it could be
possible to dial in from a Skype account and let that machine record the
conversation. Or even make it a SkypeCast as well?

/-- Kind regards,
/--- Rolf.

[Peter Deitz]

Hi Rolf,

I fixed the typo! Thank you. And just to clarify for everyone, this
will be a 1 hour conference call.

Good idea about the Skype recording / SkypeCast. I'll try to arrange that.

You and I also have a bunch of micro-format work to follow-up on. I
hate being the bottle-neck; I'll be in touch with you, Ingmar, and the
other tech/developer folks very soon.

All the best,
peter

Hi Peter,

I'm behind on follow-ups for the microformats too, will only start on that
when I'm back in Amsterdam next week. And folks at Nabuur are knee-deep in
migration and testing now, so they're not really waiting for us either.

/-- Kind regards,
/--- Rolf.

Hi Peter! :)

No problem, i know this bottle neck too! ;)

The 35 pages technical proposal for the Global Participation Feed
(http://www.oneaim.org/?q=en/node/89) is also in the second reworking.
Many important goals and functions are not inside in this version. The
developers rework the paper at this time. On the website will follow
soon also a more comprehensive introduction, which will be translated in
many languages.

Here in Glasgow the goal of the Global Participation Feed gets also very
good feedback. I think we could start the World Social Web Dialogue in
July or August and the critical mass could be reached in September.

All the best from the CIVICUS world conference in Glasgow,

Ingmar

Hi Rolf,

Great. Let's re-ignite the micro-formats conversation next weeek.
I'll start by checking in with the individual developers at
DonorsChoose, Firstgiving, ZaZengo, and GlobalGiving. I think they were
all on the line when we last talked about the micro-format.

All the best,
Peter

[Ingmar Redel]

update: the civicus world assembly was so amazing. its really the
biggest conference in the world for citizen participation. delegates
from all over the world, from all themes, from all cultures including
delegates from the united nations, bbc, and so on. and so lovely people
all around.

everybody we invite in the world social web dialogue and the global
participation feed was interested. we start now with pre-talks with
national ngo networks from all over the world to plan the world social
web dialogue.

now i think, its really possible to get a true world dialogue of the
engaged civil society, which makes in the future her own standards for
her own needs in the internet.

its not about a simple microformat. its about a shift: a new semantic,
website overlapping, decentral, secure and eco-social web for civil
society participation all around the globe.

its time to make THE change.

[Peter Deitz]

Hi Ingmar,

Congratulations on the positive reception at Civicus. I'm in favor of
both the micro-format and the cultural shift toward openness and
decentralization in civil society.

Looking forward to participating in the World Dialogue.

All the best,
Peter
