We're planning a BarCampTechnoPolitics weekend on November 11/12, possibly in league with CPSR.

Actions

These are some of the things that have come out of the BarCampStanford sessions...

DOPA

We brainstormed ways to Fix DOPA, including:

• writing your senator
• Get the DOPA badge and it put on your blog: http://bumpontheblog.etowns.net/?p=74
• Register your action at 43Things: http://www.43things.com/things/view/960974* getting a session on KQED (Liza)
• improving the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deleting_Online_Predators_Act

Tool Building brainstorm

• Building action widgets that are easy to customize for single issues
  • should have social feedback. How many people have done that action?
  • Thumbs up and down for politicians, declaring intent not to vote for them, tracking those numbers
  • polls
  • widgets to show polls in realtime; who is paying attention to which issue
• Use xfn and blogs to make tools to tell you what issues your network is acting on
