[pp.int.general] An international news service for pirates

[Josef Ohlsson Collentine]

Hi pirates,

I would like your help with a new international news project for pirate
parties:

The pirate movement has been an international force right from the start.
Today +40 countries have started their own active pirate parties. This
creates a need for the interchange of information, news and tips between
the parties. Although there are several opportunities to interact between
countries - for example within the PPI - there has still been little
exchange of information. We would like to change that by setting up an
international news service for pirates. We - at the moment Josef, Daniel
and Gefion - want to inform pirates and everyone interested in pirate
politics about topics that are relevant to all of us from an international
perspective.

The main goals we have is to create more international awareness betwen
different pirate parties, spread news internationally and share best
practices regardless of borders. International topics can be brought to
attention in all pirate parties and more coordination can take place which
will strengthen the pirate movement. We are loosely bonded to the PPI and
accepted their kind offer to use PPI infrastructure.


*To achieve this goal we are currently looking for a name for our news
service - and of course for colleagues!*

Suggestions for the name can be left in our pad:

You can find more information on our wiki:

If you simply want to get an idea or ask us questions you can do that at
our next team meeting on mumble the 26/6 ,19.00 CET (GMT +1)
mumble.piratenpartei-nrw.de -> International -> International Pirate
Parties -> ppintnews


Many thanks and best regards,
Josef (@collentine)
