« Austin Independent Game Conference | Main | Operator error » Open Source PartyMy pal RU Sirius is actually, well, serious about politics. He's run a couple of presidential campaigns that seemed less than, but he's politically astute and clear-headed, which is probably why he didn't have a chance of winning. Knowing my interest in in open politics and my thoughts about meeting the challenge of broader, informed participation (and skepticism about "democracy"), RU asked me to work with him on the development of an Open Source Political Party. Given my frustration with the politics du jour, I had a weak moment and agreed to help (though I hardly have time to think, breathe, or blog these days). There's nothing like being overcommitted – builds character. We must be onto something – we're getting signups from the left and the right, and conversations are breaking out at the Ning-based MondoGlobo site. RU wrote a pretty good first-cut proposal; we'll be building from there. C'mon over and join the Party. jon posted this at 1:06 AM |
