>Tomorrow's information and communication infrastructure is
>being shaped today --

> But by whom and to what ends?
>
>IF you believe that our current communication systems aren't meeting
>community and civic needs you're not alone! Millions of people from
>around the world are asking these questions --
>
> Will communication systems meet the needs of ALL people?
> Will they help people address current and future issues?
> Will they promote democracy, social justice, a healthy environment?
> Will appropriate research be conducted?
> Will equitable policies be enacted?
>
>Millions of people throughout the world are working to create
>systems which meet humankind's crucial needs.
>
>We are extending TWO invitations to those who are interested inthis work.

>Browse the "patterns" we've received so far and submit your own!
>
>Based on the insights of architect Christopher Alexander, we are
>soliciting "patterns" that people use to create communication and
>information technology that affirms human values. We will use these
>patterns to craft a "pattern language" - a useful and compelling
>"knowledge structure" based on the collective wisdom of our community.
>Ideally our pattern language will help articulate -- and promote
>interest in -- engaged and effective research and activism.
>
>Our pattern system (http://diac.cpsr.org/cgi-bin/diac02/pattern.cgi)
>includes the 150+ patterns that we've collected. It also includes
>facilities for entering and editing additional patterns. All of the
>patterns entered so far and those entered before the May 1st deadline
>will be reviewed at the symposium for possible inclusion in the final
>pattern language.
>
>We encourage you to submit a pattern -- or, better, several patterns!
>
>This pattern language will only be as good as the patterns that you submit!
>
>We are "casting a wide net" for patterns from all relevant domains and
>situations.
