How Do We Organise
All You Need To Know, to get on with things, as the title refers to, is about helping to encourage ordinary people take some interest in public life. Folk who think (mistakenly) politics has nothing to do with them. For many different reasons. One partly mentioned elsewhere, is. The gap between the already activists, expectations and where people are at, is too wide. We may need to start by piquing folks curiosity and using our imagination to fill the gap by invent new ways of interaction, including fun, art and so on. Without losing the purpose of the mission of building solidarity against the many present forces, demanding conformity, to some kind of UK right wing Trumpian regime change. Is not putting it too strongly.

A Peoples Guide
Glasgow is made up of villages, like Bridgeton, Calton, Govanhill, Pollokshaws, Fairly and the newer schemes around the city, Castlemilk, Easterhouse all having their own identity, traditions and history. A peoples guide to Glasgow is needed so that ordinary people as well as the discerning visitor to the city gets a view of Glasgow. That is not just about shopping and the Burrel Collection. (A longer term project)
Social Energy Collective
We hear a lot about energy and the saving of it in different areas of development. But what about our social energy. The finite energy each of us has to offer in building the movement. How do we save it by collaboration. Thinking about what needs done first. How do we organise flocks of people to do important and immediate tasks?
Technology
Technology tool or tyrant. Some of us remember the internet as the information super highway, that was mainly, and still is, built and maintained by open source technology. Worked on by developers in cooperation with each other. Built for the use of engineers, academics, researchers and folk wishing to learn about things. People from all over the world. Business was not interested in the internet, until they discovered e-commerce and turned the internet into the squalid mess it is today…(See Techno section)
