<div class="" id="magicdomid4"></div><div class="" id="magicdomid5"><span class="">Hello
Pirates,</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid6"><span class=""> </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid7"><span class="">Some weeks ago the Pirate
Parties International was founded in Brussels with the aim to help the
Pirate Parties all over the world. The PPI can become an important tool
to promote your Pirate Party. However to accomplish that objective, we
need your help! </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid8"><span class=""> </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid9"><span class="">We
have set up several task forces, each with its own objective. You will
find a list of the task forces and a summary of their aims at the end of
this mail and on </span><span class=" url"><a href="https://www.mypirates.net/ppi_network">https://www.mypirates.net/ppi_network</a></span><span class="">. More information can also be found on the PPI wiki pages on </span><span class=" url"><a href="http://int.piratenpartei.de/Main_Page">http://int.piratenpartei.de/Main_Page</a></span><span class="">.</span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid10"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid11"><span class="">We use a connection of
MyPirates and the PPI wiki for working in the task forces. The wiki
pages are used for presenting the results of the task forces while the
actual work is done on the different MyPirates pages.</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid12"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid13"><span class="">The advantage of using MyPirates over mailing lists, forums
and wikis is that the platform allows everyone to participate (no need
to be manually added to a mailinglist), allows for different forms of
user created content (discussions, wiki pages, polls, surveys etc.) and
is public and transparent (no need to google for mailinglist archives,
no hidden PiratePads etc.).</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid14"><span class=""> </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid15"><span class="">We
would like you to forward this mail to your local communication
channels and promote the task forces. Only with the help of the Pirates
from all over the world we can take the international cooperation to the
next level!</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid16"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid17"><span class="">Greetings,</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid18"><span class=""> </span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid19">
