Ahoy,

it's time to board the press all over the world. Up to now PPI's press work was unorganized and done in a best-effort way. There was no press team and there were no real processes. It's time to change this situation now. As offered in his candidature for the PPI board, Denis took care of setting up a functioning press team, and I volunteered to help. To get the media coverage we deserve as PPI, we need you!

The plan is simple: We build a team of many pirates who are willing to help with and participate in press related work. Based on the Project Charter [1] Denis and I wrote processes and guidelines. Now the processes wait to be ... processed.

For the moment, the work is all about writing press releases and dealing with press inquiries. We also take care of communiques for PPI members, if their distribution on an international level (within PPI members or media) is required.

Both, experts and novices are welcome. Of course a good knowledge of English is required. We will try to train every novice on the neccessary skills. The work will mostly be required on short notice if something important happens and a press release is needed. We will also have regular meetings to review the work and processes and - of course - get to know each other, so we can work as a team.

We aim to have at least one contact person to each national press group. This person doesn't neccessarily have to join the work of the group, but should be able to provide input on internationally relevant matters in their country, for us to distribute these to the international media or other PPI members.

To join the team, please read the Press Work wiki page[2], sign up for our mailing list[3] and send an eMail to the same mailing list[4] with a short introduction of yourself. Contact me or Denis for any questions. We look forward to reading you soon!

Kind regards

Denis Simonet & Gefion Thuermer

Ahoy list,

so far we got only few reactions, so I forward our invitation for the PPI
press group again.

Would you mind forwarding this text to your party's interested members or
to a pirate who can forward it? Thank you in advance!

I'm available for questions.

Kind regards
Denis

Ps. You might also be interested in the fact that the board recently voted
two positions: PPI Press Team Leader (Gefion Thürmer) and PPI Press
Editorial Leader (me). More information:

Hello everyone,

I am writing to you on behalf of the newly formed PPI Press Team. The purpose of the team is to support the board and take care of press work on behalf of the PPI (answer requests, write and distribute PPI press releases etc.). The team has been set up over the last two months and is now nearly ready to go. We are also still searching for additional team members (who don't neccessarily have to be contact persons at the same time). Please refer any interested members of yours to us! Detailed information can be found on the PPI wiki: http://wiki.pp-international.net/Press_Work

We want to make sure the press work of the PPI is aligned with that of the members. To achieve that, we want to connect the team to all your national press teams. We need at least one contact person per country. The person should be willing to get involved in the PPI press team, stay up to date about what we do, and make sure any overlaps with your national interests and press work are pointed out. It doesn't have to be a board member or press speaker, someone who knows what's going on and is active in both groups would be ideal.

Please can I ask you to forward this email to you press teams and the person in charge? If you could send me their contact details that would as well be very much appreciated.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Gefion

Pokud se nekdo vyslovene nudite, chcete si zdokonalit anglictinu a radi byste se podileli na mezinarodni praci v PPI (vyhledove byste treba chteli za PP-CZ kandidovat do boardu), tak mate prilezitost se zapojit. Board shani lidi do tymu na psani tiskovek.

Dear Pirates,

Some time ago, we tried to start the PPI press team. There is a wiki page [1] and we have already worked out processes [2] so we are ready to start. But unfortunately, our calls for participation didn't get much of a reaction.

We still think that it is important to get the team running and for that we need your assistance!

On the one hand, we are looking for a new Team/Organisational Leader, whose job description can be found here [3], but on the other the team is nothing without members. We absolutely need many helping hands to be able to work in an efficient way.

Please help us to improve PPI's communication to the outside by offering us your commitment. This is crucial to finally get press work running.

We are looking forward to your contribution!

Best regards

Gregory Engels, Co-Chairman PPI
Lola Voronina, Co-Chairman PPI
Denis Simonet, Board member and Press Editorial Leader

Presunul jsem Petruv prispevek, kam patri. A prosil bych Petra o zkopirovani i dalsich relevantnich casti cele te mailove konverzace, co tam vznikla, protoze vysvetluje, proc mit PPI Press Team a Pirate Times na sobe nezavisle.

To by mě zajímalo, poněvadž jsem se nedávno zapojil do Pirate Times, kde je Gefion také aktivní a o tomhle druhém týmu tady čtu poprvé.

[anonym72078]

Shrnutí nedávné komunikace: (kopíruji pouze zajímavé pasáže, pro vaše pohodlí)
Idea: PPI Press Group by měla pracovat na tiskovkách (ofic. stanoviska), Pirate Times na článcích (blog). Návrh na vytvoření jasných cílů obou týmů. Personální obsazení se může prolínat, cíle jsou stejné (informovat o Pirátském hnutí), ale smysl a prostředky rozdílné (stanoviska PPI vs. autorské názory).

Zajimave shrnuti... Ja bych zvyraznil predevsim to, ze Pirate Times maji informovat objektivne, zatimco PPI Press Team bude psat TZ jen o tom, co se povedlo.

[Vaclav.Malek]

Úkolovník a doplňující info od Petra mě navedly k PPI Press Work Teamu a jelikož jsem nezaregistrovala zapojení jiného českého piráta (nepočítám Libora, chápu-li dobře, že Pirate Times jsou jiný projekt), rozhodla jsem se přidat k PWT já. A tímto o tom informuji. :) Snad to ještě někoho zajímá, když se původní vlákno založilo už v červenci. :D
Jakmile se dokončí všechny 'přijímací' procedury a rozkoukám se v jejich systému, mohu podat bližší info, bude-li zájem. Na pirátské wiki týkající se PWT totiž apelují na účast pirátů ze všech zemí, mj. aby podávali nějaký ten report o aktivitách PWT své straně (ZO). Zatím nevím, co tak jinde-nezjistitelného se dozvím, ale prezentují to jako podstatnou součást (mé budoucí) práce - tak říkám předem. :)
