Please join us for a comparative discussion of decentralized organizing and networking strategies at the World Social Forum, the Americas Social Forum, the European Social Forum, and the US Social Forum, with key organizers from each.

It precedes a weekend symposium on networked politics and technological tools at UC Berkeley, and is part of an ongoing collaborative research project on new forms of political organization.

Hello Kevin!
Thank you for your e-mail and interest.
Wikipedia organizational form has similarities to the Social Forums. Both provide platforms for participation, although one is mainly online base and the other mainly offline. Both are based on decentralized, participative and open form of organizing and the Networked Politics is a collaborative research on the potentialities and challenges of this network oriented way of organizing large communities. During the event these issues and the role of technology will be discussed.
Furthermore one of the principles of the Social Forum is universal access to knowledge and the Free Culture Movement is related to other movements gathering at the Forums (Movements in the South are moving for universal access to knowledge even before the Internet was invented).
In solidarity! Mayo
