Hi guys,

Just an idea, shall we launch social network website dedicated to Open
Source Party. I can also create branding/logo/leaftlets, etc...

I can launch this social network on vikuit platform which will be
hosted on GAE.

We can try to raise some funding via kickstarter.

PS. I've started e-Democracy campaign in UK (http://
38degrees.uservoice.com/forums/78585-campaign-suggestions/suggestions/
2771120-let-s-campaign-for-e-democracy)

PPS. By the way, Open Source Party is an excellent name for such a
political movement.

Shouldn't the 'open source' party use open source social networking technologies?

Lots of interesting options if someone is willing to bottom-line the development of a site.

Well, vikuit is distributed Open Source under GPLv3. (http://
www.vikuit.com/)

Why not run this by on the facebook group?

Seems all good to me… Anything that'll stir it up is good…

Facebook is a great platform, but we'll have no full control over
facebook's page. With vikuit we will have 100% flexibility and
control. With facebook, we can receive "your account was closed due
to..." message one day, and game over.

I am not advocating that we use facebook. I am saying that if you want to discuss this, you should post it within the facebook group as that is where all of the members are. There is hardly anyone on the googlegroups mailing list.
