> 2. Title The Public Internet Workspace: Concept and Realization
> 3. Abstract It appears that the simple provision of "just another internetcafe" which then is running on free software and for free, has produced a certain level of burnout in some groups engaged in promoting community computing resources. Even where that is not the case, the provision of more wide-ranging facilities could be interesting. Purpose of this event, is to discuss the proposed concept of a public internet workspace: A location where people can conduct online work for political campaigning, actions, the maintainance of their webpage or simply as the possibly only way to do things with computers and online at all. The idea is to supercede the concept of the public, free internet cafe, to provide people with a facility where they can become regular users with their own account data and preferences stored globally and also safely. A campaign center away from your NGO or an office away from home. The ways how to best do that in both technical terms and terms of social interaction with visitors shall be the point of this event. In it's course, the intention is to begin with an outline of the idea and introduce proposed technical solutions. Those solutions, and the way how to relate them with the social context are then put to discussion between the participants.
