From PPI
We are happy to announce that in succession of PPI coordinator Andrew Norton we founded a team of 6 persons called "PPI coreteam". Those 6 people are namely Samir Allioui / Coretx from PP-NL (co-presidency) Patrick Mächler / Valio from PP-CH (co-presidency) Laurent Le Besnerais / Cwicket from PP-FR Ralph Hinterleitner / Pertain from PP-DE and from PP-AT Thilo Schumann / Pingu from PP-DE David Xanatos / DavidXanatos from PP-AT As a sidenote: We are currently looking to support our team by a spanish and a portuguese speaking person. Please contact us in case of interest. On August 18th we organized an IRC meeting to discuss the organization of the team and the immediate tasks we want to tackle (decision summary attached). Once the coreteam has finished laying down an improved foundation and infrastructure of a strong and firm PPI, we would like to see one member of each party having the same democratic rights in defining the lead of PPI. Until that time, we will avoid speaking out political issues, and focus on infrastructure, collaboration and the sharing of resources. We look forward to the future of our international ship and hope to find good support in our crew, namely all pirate party members around the globe. :) with pirately greetings Coretx & Valio ---------- Decision summary from IRC meeting on August 18th In the channel, interested in joining the coreteam were * coretx PP-NL chairman * cwicket PP-FR member * davidxanatos PP-AT member * pertain PP-DE and PP-AT member * pingu PP-DE member * valio PP-CH member =============== MAJOR DECISIONS =============== 1) we will take over PPI coordination as a team of 6 persons for the time being. 2) this team has a co-presidency consisting of Valio and Coretx 3) decisions should be made within the team if possible 4) the co-presidents can decide in urgent cases on their own 5) we see some tasks as urgent and split the work up in groups as listed below 6) we will meet every thursday at 20:00 GMT+1 in a private channel on the pirateweb IRC network. 7) meeting at the first thursday in a month are mandatory for all members of the coreteam =============== MINOR DECISIONS =============== 1) Valio will write a protocoll and send it to everyone of the coreteam by mail 2) to start off, we will stick with English only communication to reduce work. 3) Coretx will ask Rick Falkvinge for a closed coreteam ML 4) Cwicket, Pertain and Pingu will further coordinate their work for the assigned tasks 5) XMPP/Jabber is the official method for instant messages inbetween coreteam members 6) The next meeting will be on thursday, 27th August 2009 7) coretx and valio will write and publish an announcement on the PPI ML and the PPI Forum 8) All used software must be free as in free speech and multilingual 9) We will search for a spanish & portuguese speaking pirate for translations ======================= TASKS & INNER STRUCTURE ======================= coretx & valio - answering inquieres - making press releases - juristic stuff, inner structure and foundation - gatherings/conferences cwicket, pertain & pingu - coordinate across parties (also help building up parties) - CRM & Ticketing - maintain and actualise content on PPI.net - managing translation team DavidXanatos - actualizing software on PPI.net - coordinate server, hosting and so onh ======================= CURRENT PROGRESS ======================= * PPBE & PPNL are planning a conference in Brussels * PPNL has arranged Asterisk/VOIP services ( to be attached to CRM by LDAP ) * PPSE has arranged a ticketing system
