Tool: CiviCRM for better communication | DigiActive.org - 0 views

  • When a small campaign becomes a permanent organization, there are often difficulties in scaling.  A small group can communicate with supporters through a Google Group, but what if you have multiple constituencies or you want to record information about your supporters that will help you communicate with them effectively? Wouldn’t you like to manage your “relationships” better? Or, be more efficient in sending out appeals and updates? Tap the right quarters when it comes to fund-raising? Know exactly who your potential supporters could be?
  • It also notes that CiviCRM is also used by many other large NGOs such as Amnesty International, Creative Commons and the Wikimedia Foundation for their fundraising. And there have been also cases of very large record sets being used with one company claiming to have set up CiviCRM with a set of over 3 million constituents .

Digital Resistance and the Orange Revolution « iRevolution - 0 views

  • Maidan was a group of tech-savvy pro-democracy activists who used the Internet as a tool to support their movement. Maidan in Ukranian means public square and Maidan’s website features the slogal “You CAN chnage the world you live in. And you can do it now. In Ukraine.”

  • The main activity of Maidan was election monitoring and networking with other pro-democracy organizations around Eastern Europe.
  • “websites cannot produce an activist organization.”
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • it was crucial for Maidan to frequently host real world meetings as their membership base increased. The human element was particularly important. This explains why Maidan encouraged users to disclose their identity whenever possible.
  • The community benefited from centralized leadership that developed the organization’s culture, controlled its assets and provided the strategy to achieve desired goals. The Maidan experience thus demonstrates a hybrid organization.
  • Pora, meaning “It’s Time” in Ukranian, was a well-organized group of  pro-democracy volunteers that “emerged as an information sharing campaign and during the elections morphed into coordinators of mass protest centered around tent cities in towns throughout Ukraine. The grassroots movement took its inspiration from Serbia’s Otpor movements as well as “older civic movements in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.”
  • “the active use of modern communication systems in the campaign’s management,” and “mobile phones played an important role for mobile fleet of activists.”
  • “a ssytem of immedate dissemination of information by SMS was put in place and proved important.” In addition, “some groups provided the phones themselves, while others provided SIM cards, and most provided airtime.”
  • roviding rapid reporting in a way that no other medium could. As tent cities across the Ukraine became the sign of the revolution,
  • The news feed from the regions [became] vitally important. Every 10 to 15 minutes another tent city appeared in some town or other, and the fact was soon reported on the air.
  • While the government certainly saw the Internet as a threat, the government had not come to consensus regarding the “legal and political frameworks it would use to silence journalists that published openly on this new medium.”
  • many online journalists unlike mainstream journalists were free from the threat of defamation charges.
  • one of the earliest examples of what Steven Mann calls “sousveillance,” meaning, “the monitoring of authority figures by grassroots groups, using the technologies and techniques of surveillance.”
  • Technology certainly does not make possible a direct democracy, where everyone can participate in a decision, nor representative democracy where decision makers are elected; nor is it really a one-person-one-vote referendum style democracy. Instead it is a consultative process known as ‘rough consensus and running code.’
  • the real power of traditional media. Natalia Dmytruk worked for the Ukraine’s state-run television news program as an interpreter of sign language for the hearing-impaired. As the revolution picked up momentum, she decided she couldn’t lie anymore and broke from the script with the following message: I am addressing everybody who is deaf in the Ukraine. Our president is Victor Yushchenko. Do not trust the results of the central election committee. They are all lies. . . . And I am very ashamed to translate such lies to you. Maybe you will see me again…
  • “Dmytruk’s live silent signal helped spread the news, and more people began spilling into the streets to contest the vote.”
  • itizen journalists and digital activists participated in civil resistance trainings across the country, courtesy of Otpor. The use of humor and puns directed at the regime is a classic civil resistance tactic.
  • one of key reasons that explains the success of the revolution has to do with the fact that “the protesters were very well trained and very good at protesting… very, very good.”
  • Digital activists need to acquire the tactical and strategic know-how developed over decades of civil resistance movements. Otherwise, tactical victories by digital activists may never translate into overall strategic victory for a civil resistance movement.

Solidot | 我是一个和莎朗斯通一样猥琐的人 - 0 views

  • 莎朗斯通的言论让我很生气,但是张嘴欲骂的时候,我发现我是个和莎朗斯通一样猥琐的人。 911的时候,我幸灾乐祸,穿着拉登的T恤衫到处招摇。那时候在念高中,我们一个班的人都很欢。虽然说,911是人祸,一定程度上是美国的国际政策导致的,而地震是天灾。但是不管怎么说,死的人都是无辜的。我的行为太猥琐了。 印尼海啸,我也说过那是他们排华事件的报应。几年来,日本韩国出点什么乱子,我都乐得很开心。我觉得这写都是韩国盲目自大,日本不承认二战罪行的报应。 卡特里娜飓风,印度洋海啸,我都当过铁公鸡。但是冲击麦当劳的时候我跑在最前面了。 我真的是很猥琐的一个人,我觉得我不配评论莎朗斯通。

Rising Voices » New Citizen Media Projects Foster Rising Voices in Ivory Coas... - 0 views

  • Shenyang, literally meaning “the city to the north of Shen River” and capital of the Liaoning province, is touting itself as China’s “next tourist destination.” But whether you are visiting the ancient pagodas of Old City or the official “High-tech Industrial Development Zone” the tourist brochures won’t mention the city’s male and female sex workers who mostly come from poor rural communities in search of talked-up urban opportunities. In partnership with the Ai Zhi Yuan Zhu Center for Health and Education documentary filmmaker Wei Zhang will train male and female sex workers who use the AZYZ center how to maintain a blog and upload short video documentaries to share their experiences, opinions, and troubles in order to promote more understanding of the region’s sex worker population.

维基百科可以直接访问了! | SilenceWolf - 0 views

  • 维基百科(en.wikipedia.org) 可以直接访问了!今晨我偶然点击了一个通往维基百科的链接(当时没有意识到这是维基百科,要不然可能直接用代理了),居然顺利的登录了。我又试验了“china”(如上图所示)、“beijing”、“beijing olympic”等几个词条,都可以顺利访问。当然,敏感性的词条依然不能访问,访问之后还会出现暂时的站点不能访问,不过只有很短的时间,这真是一个好消息。 另外,落户在blogspot.com上的网站也可以访问了,比如google的官方网站。但是落户在wordpress.com上的网站还是不能访问,twitter的官方网站也还是不能访问。 还有什么站点过去不能直接访问而现在可以了?如果你碰到了的话,请在留言中告诉大家。

GFW.互联网的中国国情之三 | 读书生 - 0 views

  • GFW想必大家不会陌生。GFW的全称是Great Fire Wall,是伟大而正确的中国共产党用以屏蔽一切不和谐网络信息的防火墙工具。现在奥运期间,官方迫于国际奥委会的压力,暂时地开放了部分被禁的网页比如flikr、Wiki。奥运之后,大家还可以去尝试一下维基百科这个借助Web2.0的力量,在短时间内制作完成的世界百科全书。域名是http://wikipedia.org/。
  • 我是如此深爱着我的国家,所以我不能容忍,她被政府践踏。
  • 从某种角度说,我们也应当感谢GFW。是它成就了我们的坚持不懈,让我们发现,原来自己,可以如此顽强。

讨论:夏天来了,您可以不开或少开空调吗? - 0 views

  • Bamberg位于德国巴伐利亚州,是个美丽而古朴的小城,那里漂亮的小街让人流连忘返。我更喜欢Bamberg楼房的窗户,因为很多窗台上都摆放着美丽的花。那些花姹紫嫣红,千姿百态,美得让人感动。
  • 人类是从远古走来的,不同的人种都有过与风霜雨雪、酷暑严冬的搏斗经历。正是因为这些锻炼和忍耐,人类才进化了,有了健壮的体魄和聪明的头脑。而现代文明却让人对工业产品有了越来越多的依赖,人们的耐受力正在下降。夏天,一些人吹电扇已经不能满足散热的需要了,他们白天要开着空调工作,晚上还要开着空调睡觉。尤其是一些孩子,已经成为“空调一代”,冬天不冷,夏天不热,变得经不起风吹日晒……  
  • 即使只是出门前3分钟关空调,按每台每年可节电约5度的保守估计, 相应减排4.8千克。如果对中国1.5亿台空调都采取这一措施, 那么每年可节电约7.5亿度, 减排72万吨。

Boycott Beijing Olympic | fongyun's Xanga Site - Weblog - 0 views

  • 西藏的事,陰謀/迷霧太多,大家都不清楚真相。可是,胡佳被囚是完全沒有正當理由的。如果有人高呼要推翻共產黨,那麼拘捕他還可以理解(儘管以言入罪仍屬不當)。但如果連關注人權也竟然可以被控「顛覆國家」,這個政權真的是「癲」的。中國共產黨示範了甚麼叫「色厲內荏」,告訴全世界它的本質就是「反人權」(於是「反反人權」才等於「反它」)。現在合法的維權、暴力的騷亂(不是說藏疆)越來越多,因為它的本質早已「路人皆見」,遲早會迫到人民對它說這句話﹕「時日曷喪,予與汝偕亡﹗」
  • 我們可以選擇﹕1. 不觀看任何奧運項目,2. 不參與任何為奧運助勢的活動。3. 如果有奧運教材送到我手上,我會連同胡佳案的片段播放。如果你是教師,你希望下一代對人的尊嚴還有一點點尊重,請不要一味為北京粉飾太平。
  • 你大可以罵我不愛國。我愛國,才會這樣忿怒,我愛的是我的國家,不是這個法西斯政權。延伸閱讀:胡佳 (wikipedia)中國維權律師關注組聲明以言入罪 (tommyjonk)

光州事件 - Wikipedia - 0 views

  • 「光州事件」的平反﹐意味政府承認人民的要求是正當的﹐從而促進韓國的民主化﹐特別是當時因「內亂陰謀罪」而被宣判死刑的金大中﹐后来卻當上總統﹐更象徵真理是必然會勝利的。
  • 但是﹐在鎮壓過程中﹐下令開槍的及開槍的人、美國的角色等問題仍有待解決﹐有關團體會繼續要求徹底查明事實及公開真相。

Steve Souders:你的网页有多"绿"? - 译言翻译 - 0 views

  • *我们假设Wikipedia有1亿页面浏览/天。(我见过超过2亿/天的估算量。) *假定这些页面80%通过可以缓存完成(根据Yahoo的browser cache统计),那么就是8000万页/天。 *假定其中10%或者5%是浏览主页,那么每天就是4000万页,每页包含13个HTTP请求来验证那些图片,一天就是52.0万的图片请求。 *假定一个Web服务器一秒钟能处理100个这样的请求,一天就是860万个请求。那么这些流量就需要6台这样的Web服务器工作一年来处理完成。 *假设一个满载工作的服务器是100瓦,6台服务器一年就是5000千瓦小时的能源以及大约500到1000磅的二氧化碳排放。

胡哥, 这墙拆了得了 - 0 views

  • I can read Wikipedia, but I heard from other people it's hit & miss. I had no problem with porn sites though. I always thought this censoring by Chinese government is really stupid. Today I read a excellent column on NY Times by World-is-flat author Tom Friedman, towards the end of the article, it struck a chord with me:
  • For the benefit of the China and Chinese people's future, Mr. Hu, Tear down this great fire-wall. (tear down this wall). 胡哥, 这墙拆了得了.

世俗国家 - 0 views

  • 在某些世俗国家中,有在比例上相当多的人信奉一种宗教(如土耳其);而某些则有很大的宗教多元性(如印度)。有些国家在建国时已自我定位为世俗国家(如菲律宾),也有些是经过世俗化才成为世俗国家(如法国),还有不少的政教分离国家。在历史上,世俗化的进程是由给予市民宗教自由开始、再而废止国教、停止使用公帑资助宗教团体、使法律脱离宗教的控制、开放教育系统(而不强制任何宗教)、接受市民改变信仰、以及是容许信奉不同宗教的人担任政治领袖的。此外,原有的宗教假日不受到影响,而公众机构的运作也不会受到宗教团体的影响和控制。
