When you look at the dull language of the summit declaration you might think that it is nice to see "open source" mentioned there but wonder if that's all, whether the huge efforts by thousands of activists over a time span of almost two years couldn't have been spent more effectively. The real success story behind WSIS is the global networking of civil society players that it enabled. -->more Mod: Ralf Bendrath Uni Bremen & www.worldsummit2005.org, Berlin Karen Banks Association of Progressive Communications (APC), London Markus Beckedahl Netzwerk Neue Medien / WSIS-Koordinierungskreis, Berlin Rikke Frank Jørgensen Danish Institute for Human Rights, Kopenhagen Annette Mühlberg Referatsleiterin E-Government, Neue Medien, Verwaltungsmodernisierung beim ver.di Bundesvorstand, Berlin Georg Greve President, Free Software Foundation Europe & European Spokesperson of the GNU Project Jeanette Hofmann Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) & privatkopie.net, Berlin Federico Heinz Co-Founder of the Va Libre Foundation, member of SADIO Argentine Association of Informatics, member of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR), Crdoba, Argentina Robin Gross Executive Director, IP Justice, San Francisco Discussion
