Maybe it's a good idea to have a web platform for each country presenting a group for the EU elections (regarding the low price of domain names) and a common platform to promote and explain our ideas.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div><div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div>I've seen <a href="http://int.piratenpartei.de/European_pirate_party#Website" target="_blank">this section</a> at the international wiki and I was amazed it was empty :-O Guess one of the reasons if the lack of a PPI's IT Group working in the development of joint tools -or the adaption of already-existing national tools for PPI usage (i.e.: to be used by all pirate parties)-; it was agreed in Beriln to build that IT Group, hope we finally make it.<br>
<br>First of all, we need to find a domain name; so we should think about it -maybe <a href="http://pirate2009.com" target="_blank">pirate2009.com</a>, <a href="http://piratestobrussels.com" target="_blank">piratestobrussels.com</a>, <a href="http://piratestostrasbourg.com" target="_blank">piratestostrasbourg.com</a> .... sky is the limit for our imagination :)- <span style="font-weight: bold;">and book it</span>.<br>
<br>Second, about ideas for the web site ... what about taking inspiration from <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/index.php" target="_blank">what already worked</a>? Also, Obama's campaign page proved that darker websites also work, so as our primary colors are black & white -just look at the logo- I would suggest using black as background.<br>
<br>Third, as we all are in our homework trying to collect signatures in order to be allow to concur, there would may be a centralized signatures display for all pirate parties, linking to our national websites -or even including the info from our websites in the joint website, in order to avoid dispersion of visitors, keeping them in the joint website-.<br>
<br>Finally, a group commanded by Andrew Norton -few weeks ago it was agreed to appoint him as PPI's PRs coordinator- and with IT & PRs representatives from all pirate parties concurring -or at least willing to concur- to EU Election would find out the contents to be in the website -i.e. (looking at Obama's), <a href="https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/standardvidbottom?source=action_menu" target="_blank">donation</a>, <a href="http://store.barackobama.com/" target="_blank">store</a>, <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/learn/meet_barack.php" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic;">meet the candidates</span></a>, <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/newsroom/index.php" target="_blank">news room</a>, <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://factcheck.barackobama.com/" target="_blank">PPI facts</a> (for this issue, it's highly necessary to have the Pirate Manifesto), <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/" target="_blank">PPI platform guidelines</a> as well as <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForChange.pdf" target="_blank">the platform itself</a> (for this issue, it's highly necessary for us to agree the platform in Helsinki), <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/tv/" target="_blank">media section including our own Internet PPI TV Channel</a> (maybe called PIRATV or something like that), <a href="http://my.barackobama.com" target="_blank">central to
organize local groups and volunteers</a>, <a href="http://my.barackobama..com/page/content/hqblog" target="_blank">PPI blog</a> ... also a PPI everywhere pack (linking to youTube, Facebook, Digg, <a href="http://meneame.net" target="_blank">meneame.net</a>, mySpace, Flickr, Twitter, etc) ... all what a handy pirate party campaign organizer may dream of :)-.<br>
<br>If we agree to work in this, we should start right now by creating the group -essentially, <span style="font-weight: bold;">committing to attend to the group sessions</span> (personally or appointing substitutes for those sessions where someone is unable to attend) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">committing to effectively behave as a proxy</span> (report the group about national party's decisions, and report the national party about group's decisions, in order to avoid misunderstoods)-, just to be able to have the website ready -the best option, to announce it at Helsinki- or almost ready. Do you agree with this? Yes? No? Suggestions? Objections?
Participation is the key, and Andrew will need all our help. Regards,<br><br><br> Carlos Ayala<br> ( Aiarakoa
