    PROPOSAL FOR MEMORY ARCHIVE
    Hallo to everybody,
    I know earlier today there was supposed to be the weekly chat...!
    reading the last mails around wsf memory, and the very long project proposed
    by sergio ( sorry, i could not read it all, also becouse of the language!)
    I am a little worried to see that  a lot of enphasis is given to  memory of
    the future, but almost no concern about memory of the past!
    Our group coordinator (Hilde ) is missing and no body pushed us to produce a
    coordinated, partecipated and inclusive memory project that has sense and
    that follows the given guidelines.
    I think we should all give a look again at Norma's  document about Memory of
    WSF  she has sent some time ago, wich I think is the basis for a memory
    archive project we should consider.
    Today is supposed to be the deadline for presenting all groups
    projects+budgets;
    so far the memoryGT has not presented something organic and inclusive work.
    I have sent some thoughts and ideas through the mail but i do not know if
    anyone has read it.
    
    The only things I have seen is about the future memory;   sergio's memory
    project wich is , in a way, for me not exactly a wsf memory recording, but
    more an idea for monitoring what people feel wsf process is...?The idea is
    good, but doesn't seem to me a wsf memory thing; I am skepticale about
    asking such big financing request for something that is really good as a
    museum activity that could, at the end,  bedonated to wsf process, and not
    viceversa.
    
    I think we need to consider 2 aspects of memory:
    tha past and the future:
    
    the PAST, which is to be mapped, collected, and possible edited. How much
    time and eventually money is needed is difficult to say, since it depends on
    the amount of material. Most of it will need to be copied and  sent to who
    will catalouge and edit it.  It may even be possible that some material has
    to be joined fisically, wich may mean travel expences.
    All groups that produce video ( but all sorts of wsf documentation can be
    included) should start mapping and share their lists of available memory
    material , and also start loading  their material in one and only wsf
    database ( for video is supposed to be wsftv.net), this way all material are
    collected in one container and is available to all at once ( also for a
    possible  consultation space on pc of all memory material at future sf)
    
    
    For the FUTURE, I think it is quite easy to say that for each forum event ,
    together with the forum organization commitee, should have a number of
    people working at collecting  the memory; the number of people depends on
    the type of event. For this, a number of crews also with  local people
    involved ( for video each crew should be of 2 people) have to make sure that
    the sf is covered (video, radio, text) as much as possible, following key
    plenaries, some thematic working groups, interviewing key and common people.
    
    
    Meantime a catalogation strategy should be studied in order to be able to
    easely pick out from the common database what one is searching.
    I think we have to find/decide few main macro areas of contents (max 10?)
    which are words that together with date+place+event where the material has
    been taken+ kind of material (video, txt, audio, still image) + language of
    transaltion, are going to be the tags for extracting the contents of
    interest. Each of these elements are to be catalogued with a specific rule
    that has to be given, like to fill in all its parts in a pre ordinated form
    ( the wsftv one has to be worked on).
    
    Thank you for your attention
    another world is possible!
    besos
    Bettina

    from "Hilde C Stephansen" on Jul 17, 2009 04:41 PM
    Dear Bettina, dear all
    
    First of all, apologies for my absence in the last few days, as I said in
    my previous email I was away for a few days, I got back too late on
    Wednesday to participate in the chat. Then I have been overwhelmed with
    work in the last couple of days.
    
    This is just a very quick reply for now. Regarding the point Bettina
    raises about cataloguing of material, I agree that it is important to have
    a coherent and shared system for classification. I don't know if any of
    you know about or have been in contact with the wsf library - a project
    run by NIGD and a group of Kenyan librarians? They adoped a classification
    system based on the 'actionable themes' for the 2007 forum. You can see it
    here: http://www.wsflibrary.org/index.php/Actionable_themes. Maybe this
    can form a basis for discussion?
    
    I also think the project of gathering together in one place of past WSF
    memory is very important. Bettina - are you suggesting developing a
    dedicated site for this?
    
    I think both a 'future' and 'past' memory based on documents of all sorts
    is important, and yes, we do need to somehow systematize and bring
    together the different proposals. It seems there wasn't really a deadline
    on the 15th after all so we do have some more time...
    
    Bye for now,
    in solidarity,
    Hilde

      dear Hilde, dear all,
      I've tried to link up with wsflibrary but it seems it is not online
      anymore.?.
      through google I found out that on open.net you have allready raised wsf
       text memory/documentation issue.:
      
      http://openesf.net/projects/documentation-esf-2008/lists/documentation-esf-2008-discussion/archive/2008/07/1217341813240/forum_view
      
      
      I'd like to know more about   the 21 actionable themes ( i'll try to find
      something on www.open.net, but as you said about process.net, opent.net has
      the same problem).
      I will not partecipte to comcom wendsday chat as usual, and on july 30 my
      holidays begin.
      good summer to everyone!
      ciao

          from bettina on Jul 20, 2009 09:34 PM
          Hi pierre,yes! i mean  www.openfsm.net  , i didn't even figure there was the
          efs, and i do not think i am stupid.
          it seems to me that documents are thrown around randomly inside,  maybe in
          folders with unresonable names. in theory it might be a straordinary tool,
          in the practice i think i am not the only one that get lost inside that
          labirinth with no proper direction, spend too much time searching for things
          that are not listed, no directory! so that one at the end gives up without
          having found what was looking for. it is user
          unfriendly, and really i said this so many times, but no one never
          cared about it, i dont want to talk about it unless forced becouse it
          gets on my nerves. sorry.

        from "Hilde C Stephansen" on Jul 21, 2009 04:03 PM
        Dear Bettina
        
        That's strange you couldn't access wsflibrary, I have just tried it and it
        seems ok. Try again with this link:
        http://www.wsflibrary.org/index.php/Wsflibrary.org
        You should find a link to the 'actionable themes' on the left.
        
        I had completely forgotten about the little piece I wrote about
        classification before, thanks for reminding me!
        
        I know Mikael Book, who is part of the wsflibrary has written an article
        about the actionable themes, I will see if I can find it for you.
        
        Best wishes
        Hilde

          • Re: PROPOSAL FOR MEMORY ARCHIVE

            from pierre on Jul 22, 2009 12:26 PM
            Dear Bettina and all
            
            here is an input on the taxonomy issue that is appearing
            
            1/ we have the 10 objectives of the forum defined since  Nairobi that stay
            "adopted" widely now and  stand as a " common good"  between us,  so  let us
            use them  as a basis  - they maybe not perfect but they have the
            uncomparable quality of being consensed in the process
            
            2/then , once we have accumulated some concrete material , of any type,  we
            can discuss further about taxonomy which is a challenging subject ,
            with many options possible like : introducing sub categories inside the 10
            objectives,( a bit too classical since any list can be questionned, or
            practising public tagging  ( like in wsftv )  and trying to managthe tags to
            merge them if relevant and avoid pulverization (  as was attempted during
            GDA 2008)  etc...
            
            3 /while we discuss issue 2,  we can  pragmatically take into account the
            existence of lists of 100+ historical keywords lists  that were used in
            porto alegre 3 5 In mumbai  4 in polycentrics 6 and nairobi 7 sites and
            maybe in belem
            - those lists of keywords have been used by the organziers of  the thousands
            of actiivties in those forum events , so wiht all their defects they provide
            a convenient way to classify the content that is linked somehow to those
            activities
            So for the PAST  we can have contents that are linked  to activities that
            are linked to those keywords that we can relate to some of the 10 objectives
            ...not so bad  eh?
            
            thanks for feebacks and comments
            
            See you soon on line

                from pierre on Jul 22, 2009 04:51 PM
                hello Bettina
                here they are
                Pierre
                
                http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/download/2008-07-29-newsletter_EN.htm
                
                
                1) Defined the list of 10 action objectives for WSF 2009 participants
                
                The local Facilitation Group and members of Methodology Commission met in
                Belem from July 10th to 12th to evaluate the answers to the consultation
                process and define the action objectives for WSF 2009 participants.
                
                The Consultation about the WSF objectives was called by the WSF
                International Council in order to expand or adjust the current action
                objectives for 2009 event. All the activities (conferences, panels,
                seminars, workshops and others) will be organized related to those
                objectives. See bellow the list of 10 action objectives for activities that
                will happen in Belem 2009 territory. In bold characters there are the
                additions made to the objectives defined to WSF 2007 in Nairobi (Kenya):
                
                    1. For the construction of a world of peace, justice, ethics and respect
                for different spiritualities, free of weapons, especially nuclear ones;
                
                    2. For the release of the world domain *by capital*, multinationals
                corporations, imperialist, *patriarchal, colonial and
                neo-colonial*domination and unequal systems of commerce,
                *by canceling the impoverish countries debt*;
                
                    3. For universal and sustainable access to the common property of
                mankind and nature, for the preservation of our planet and its resources,
                particularly water, forests *and renewable energy sources*;
                
                    4. For the democratization *and independence* of knowledge, *culture and
                communication* and for the creation of a system of shared knowledge *and
                acquirement* with the dismantling of Intellectual Property Rights;
                
                    5. For the dignity, diversity, ensuring the equality of gender,
                race, *ethnicity,
                generation, sexual orientation* and elimination of all forms of
                discrimination and caste (discrimination based on descent);
                
                    6. 2. For ensurance (during the lifetime use of all people) of the
                economic, social, human, cultural and environmental rights, particularly the
                rights to food, health, education, housing, employment and decent
                work, *communication
                and food security and sovereignty*;
                
                    7. For the construction of a world order based on sovereignty,
                self-determination and on people's rights, *including minorities and
                migrants*;
                
                    8. For the construction of a democratic, emancipator, sustainable and
                solidary economy, focused on *every* people and *based on ethical and fair
                trade*;
                
                    9. For the construction and expansion of truly *local, national and
                global* democratic political *and economic* structures and institutions,
                with the participation of people in decisions and control of public affairs
                and resources;
                
                    *2.For the defense of the environment (amazonic and others ecosystems)
                as source of life for the planet Earth and for the originary peoples of the
                world (indigenous, afro-descendent, tribal and riverine), that demand their
                territories, languages, cultures, identities, environmental justice,
                spiritually and right to live.*
                
                
                For the WSF 2009 it will be possible to register self-managed activities
                outside the 10 action objectives, that propose an evaluation or outlook on
                the anti-globalization movements and the World Social Forum process..

        • Re: PROPOSAL FOR MEMORY ARCHIVE

          from rita@... on Jul 21, 2009 06:25 PM
          Dear friends
          Tomorrow I join you at the eekly chat
          I am happy because of the variety of sugestion and possibilities for  
          the WSF Memory
          I ask you to remember that we also need to start the Memory of the  
          last 10 years of WSF by the Oral Histores of People that were part of  
          its process.
          
          And we really need to start the tools and websites debate inside the  
          Technological WG, in order to attend all the projects
          
          Seee you tomorrow
          (from Belém)
          
          Rita
