[pp.int.general] [pp-leaders.discussion] Pirate Party of Canada and PPI

[Josef Ohlsson Collentine]

Hopefully Pirate Times will be able to complement PPI in some of the parts
you mentioned. I believe atm that we are expecting too much from too few
people. Basically the PPI consists of all the member countries and people
in those parties but right now it's mostly the board working on the issues
arising. Moving some parts of the expectations away will allow PPI to spend
their time more focused.

So for people that want to discuss and learn from others I invite you to
write a guest-post (or become a part of team) for Pirate Times. E.g.
sharing your campaign strategies in the form of an article would
disseminate info to other parties and bring interesting feedback in the
comments.

The means are there, people just needs to take a more active role instead
of passively waiting for a PPI board to "solve everything".

Kindly,
Josef
