That was fun. People that attended: Stephane Guidoin, Daniel Haran (Halifax), Dory Kornfield (geography masters + vol from WirelessToronto), Hugh (audio liberation - Librivox and Collectik), Ella (local blogger + flashmob instigator), Andrew someone (project manager + programmer). Robin, Oliver and Judyth couldn't make it. We thought it would be a really good idea to support Daniel's lawsuit against his city (Daniel is trying to get information about location of bus stops from Halifax). Before the case went to court we could try to get as many people as possible across Canada to ask for that info from their own city). Project name: The Bus Stops Here! ;-) For the record, i'm not sure that steph think's it's a great idea. ;-) We might have to re-think it. Other points: -how can we make sure that this type of work (informing citizens) is funded / resourced? -on the short term : building on small successes instead of tackling large projects -how can we coordinate with similar projects, potential allies -develop the philosophical/political/economic arguments so the rest of us can just copy-paste in our discussions, presentations, etc. -branding - a civicaccess button/logo? so that bloggers and sites like howdtheyvote could show support. similar to creativecommons logo/button -use the wiki to tell some stories about problems around lack of access. give examples -much aggrement that we all hate pdf's. with a deep and vengeful rage. -looking forward to getting RSS feeds from howdtheyvote to put on local blogs. Very fun - and suprisingly productive.

Si vous étes interéssés, svp de me contacter hor-liste et on va trouver un temp on commune pour se reunir. Je sais que tout-le-monde est pressé, alors j'imagine qu'on va seulement étre 4-5 persons, même si on est plusieres à Montreal. The location is definitely going to be laika, though ;-) And wish me luck on my french exam tomorrow (2pm). It seems that I'm going to need it. (J'espère que nous aurons beaucoup de discussion en français sur cette liste. Particulièrement si si le sujet est lié au Québec.) mike_______________________________________________ CivicAccess-discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://civicaccess.ca/mailman/listinfo/civicaccess-discuss_civicaccess.ca
