-Internet work is no longer a field pursued only by technical people. It has become one of the most critical areas in use by all organizers. Developing a common agenda, hemisphere-wide, on how to develop, organize and expand the Internet is critically important for the left. This workshop is designed for activists of all technical capabilities to collaboratively build a common, hemispheric, agenda for the Internet.
-
-The workshop will be based on our [wiki:internet_rights_workshop Internet rights workshop]. In the workshop we will use the Internet itself to collaboratively build a common document. However, we will introduce several key, new features:
-
- * The goal will be to come to an agreement on our Internet agenda, rather than focusing on Internet rights
- * We will run the workshop over the Internet, with one session in Guatemala, one in New York, and one in Caracas (if we can, but minimally in both Guatemala and NYC).
- * We will operate in both Spanish and English
-
-The workshop falls within the [http://www.forosocialamericas.org/fsa-guatemala/ejes_english.php themes defined by the forum organizers], specifically: The ideological dispute: communication, culture, knowledge and education.
