Hi Leo, People in high places need to be convinced of the value of sharing and of citizen freedom to cooperate. Some of the points made in this document (under development) might help with the convincing:
http://wikieducator.org/BC4i8n-a2kLibre This document is based on work by a collection of activists working towards a free culture: http://fcforum.net/ In my opinion, their approach is too confrontational and they would do better to work _with_ the authorities towards common goals (e.g. sustainability and improving quality of life ...). There are signs they are moving in this direction. In China, this might be a real challenge! But my understanding is that the country is big enough to permit multiple models of governance in different areas - experiments which may be replicated if they prove positive. Would it make sense to set up equivalent sites within China with terms of use that are compatible with national values? e.g. in universities or on public sites with specific foci (e.g. job creation, environment, water, ...). e.g. an equivalent of Twitter may be set up which uses the free/libre software (free as in freedom) with http://status.net/ (e.g. http://identi.ca/ ). If anyone knows of other types of free/libre social software, I'll be grateful for additions to this list: http://www.wikieducator.org/FLOSS4Edu_Tools_etc./LMSs_etc#Social_Software Thanks Kim ---- On Jan 11, 2:34 pm, Wong Leo <leolao...@gmail.com> wrote: > In China , Blogbus , One of most popular blog host places has just been > blocked in China , We have abt 200 blog post there , I am so speechless > twitter is being blocked , facebook too , wikipedia too , youtube too, > google group too > > How would you respond to this ?? > > -- > Leo Wong > --------------------------------------http://helpsuzhou.blogbus.com/HELP > There is something very special and powerful about engaging directly with > the real teacher and real Kids
