[ssf] Intro, details and feedback form

[Dan]

Nice idea!  I think that could work, as long as we're not infringing any 
copyright!

Amp - we need to sit down and work out how it ties to the front of the 
website.  That could be a weekend job... This is something we don't want 
to leave as a 'good idea' and then let drift.

Cheers for all the work on this... fantastic!

>> Hallo!

>> good to get feedback quickly!
>>
>> 1. A little outline about what the SSF does, what it hopes to do, and
>>  how this meeting can help to decide what will happen in the future 
>> (See below.) 2. Take the person's details, saying  -
>>
>> "We are starting a monthly bulletin of political, social and cultural
>>  goings-on in the coming month.  If you want to sign up, tick here. 
>> If you have something you want others to know about, please write it

>>
>> (I suggest we start using the ssf at lists.aktivix.org address - 
>> non-members posts come to moderators, so we can pick them up.)
>>
>> "If you want to get more involved in the day-to-day running of the 
>> SSF, we have an e-mail discussion list.  Tick here if you want to 
>> sign up..."
>>
>> Here's an idea - how do people feel about this?
>>
>> 3. "We are planning to have open mini-forums like today's once every 
>> three months.  This is our first, so we're just learning!  Could you 
>> please let us know what worked for you and what didn't?  E.g. was it

>>
>> 4. "SSF is preparing its forward planner for 2005.  We hope to have a

>>
>> Welcome to the first Sheffield Social Forum meeting of 2005
>>
>> "What's the Sheffield Social Forum do?"
>>
>> 1. Network events like today - providing welcoming space for anyone 
>> who believes in people not profit.  From this, we hope new ideas, 
>> actions, alliances and friendships will spring.  Whether you believe 
>> change can only come about through street action, or prefer writing 
>> letters to MPs, these events are a rare chance for talking to people 
>> with different ideas on neutral territory.
>>
>> 2. SSF campaigns.  SSF offers a supportive environment for local 
>> campaign work, such as recent work on welfare and local democracy in 
>> Burngreave. 3. Other political support - we're expanding our 
>> announcements list to include a bulletin of political, social and 
>> cultural events, and hoping to develop our website as well as help 
>> set up to a local newsletter.
>>
>> 4. SSF research group - this has already started working on 
>> supporting local Burngreave activists to campaign and research their 
>> local area, and will hopefully be expanding to link student 
>> researchers with the wider Sheffield community.
>>
>> 5. Whatever else you can bring to it...
