Collaborators and Organizers -

*Please forward this information to your networks and all those that you
feel would be interested in participating in the US Social Forum via the
Expanded format.*

Detroit Expanded ("Dex") follows the new format introduced in WSF Belem
("Belex"), allocating physical space on the Social Forum campus and
official schedule for broad participation from communities all over the
world. It is the creation of Open Virtual Space between delegates,
activists, network participants during the Second US Social Forum in
Detroit, Michigan during 22 - 26 June 2010.

Proposals for self-organized activities and workshops are now being
accepted from registered organizations (http://www.ussf2010.org).
Interested "Dex" participants will be asked to participate at the end of
the submission form. This indication will allow USSF organizers to make
contact in early April, encouraging local communities to plan their
connected events. Guidance can be offered as to which medium to choose:
chat, video conference, streaming video of Ceremonies and Plenaries,
collaborative software, etc. These activities will be highlighted in the
online and physical workshop schedule, as well as added to a special
website and map (http://abc.ussf2010.org)

All communities that do not plan to suggest a Detroit workshop may
submit their activities via the online website for inclusion in our
Expanded Territory map at http://abc.ussf2010.org. Please follow the
instructions to posting your activity. Finding the full schedule of
Detroit-based workshops and registered organizations can be found at
http://organize.ussf2010.org. Collaboration and network-building is
encouraged. There will be a streaming channel and schedule forthcoming,
release is scheduled for May, available at http://video.ussf2010.org.

If you would like to become an organizer of Dex, you may join our
mailing list by sending a blank email to dex-subscribe@....

Thank you and we'll "see" you in Detroit!
