[okfn-discuss] New infrastructure working group

[Andrius Kulikauskas]

Hi Rufus!

This year I'm working to improve the websites of my Minciu Sodas 
laboratory http://www.ms.lt and the WorkNets culture 
http://www.worknets.org for independent thinkers.  I'm improving and 
integrating our email groups, wiki, chat, RSS, etc.

We work in the Public Domain.  Here is the charter of principles that 
I've drafted:

Currently, we're organizing around three laboratory leaders: Franz 
Nahrada in Austria, Samwel Kongere in Kenya and me in Lithuania.  We 
have about twenty working groups.  Here's some related lists:

We have a need for web programmers to make custom improvements to our 
websites.  I'll be proposing a Worknets software architecture 
committee.  I'm training participants around the world to help as online 
assistants through our help room and online environment.  As we train 
our participants, some might help OKFN projects as volunteers, on behalf 
of Mornflake cereal, who we worked to promote amongst UK online 
communities, thanks to Leon Benjamin.

What are ways that we might work in synergy with Open Knowledge Foundation?

Andrius
