Democracy Technology Online Conference 2005 (DTECHCON)

Let's bring inventors and thinkers from the growing research area of world democracy together, online, and allow them to present their ideas, to form groups, and to discuss.

The first meeting is scheduled on IRC for Saturday, November 26, 2005 on the channel #worlddemocracy on irc.freenode.net. The meeting will take place from 20:00 UTC to 0:00 UTC. It will be split into time slots as follows: 

20:00 - 20:15        welcome, introductions
20:15 - 20:45        tav: espia/plexnet/toman democracy
20:45 - 21:15        echarp: parlement successor of VeniVidiVoti
21:15 - 21:45        Jordan Schroder: Demosphere.net Project
21:45 - 22:15        fourth presentation
22:15 - 22:30        Wybo Wiersma: WebParliament.org and LogiLogi.org

23:00 - 23:15        fourth short presentation
23:15 - 00:00        discussion, final thoughts

If you are willing to "speak" in any of these slots, feel free to replace it with your name and project, e.g., "Erik Möller: Global Democracy". You can also link to a subpage that describes your project in more detail, using the syntax [[/Project name/]].

(Feel free to edit the basic setup, or to make suggestions on Talk:Democracy.)

[edit] On IRC presentations

How do you present a project on IRC? Why not just let people read up on it online? There are two immediate benefits to an online presentation:

  • interaction
  • reaching a known group of people simultaneously

Hence, any IRC "presentation" should be more of a conversation, with you, the presenter, giving background, providing links where appropriate, and answering questions. For this reason, there are no separate "discussion" slots as would be typical in a conference presentation -- the presentations are the discussions. Be ready to take questions at any time, and as a "listener", be ready to interrupt the speaker freely to ask questions.
