 Welcome! Let's start with a very brief go around in which everyone says their name and the organization they are representing.
 
-Thanks. My name is Jamie - I am one of the co-directors of May First/People Link. MFPL is a membership-based activist organization with nearly 300 members. Our mission is to organize the left online - ensure that the values of collaboration, openness and democracy are defended and expanded on the Internet so our members can effectively organize the Internet for real political change.
+Thanks. As Josue has mentioned, we need your help in developing a statement of principles for building technology for the social forum. 
+
+I'd like to start by briefly introducing what we mean by technology and principles, and then break the group into smaller groups of 2 - 3 people, and, using our collaborative democracy software, collaboratively write the 10 most important political principles for developing technology for the US Social forum. We'd like to wrap up with a discussion about the experience and the principles we come up with.

 You may have heard of us in relationship to the 2007 social forum. We were ''not'' the organization that did the technology for the social forum. We ''were'' the group that organized the technology team that did the technology for the social forum. And that distinction is one of the most important to us, especially with regard to the 2010 social forum and, fundamentally, the reason we wanted to meet with you tonight.
