Feeling Like My Insides Are Falling Out

insurgency 2.0 - Citizens against aircraft noise

The civil protest in Germany where large projects goes into the next round. After the last few weeks hardly a day passes will not be reported to the dilemma of the Stuttgart "S21", stirs in Berlin the next protest movement. The new flight routes currently under construction be BBI, ensure disappointment and bewilderment in many Berlin citizens.

It must indeed be cautious with comparisons, especially having to see the situation worsening further in Stuttgart and now the federal government to the theme adopted, however, are striking similarities between the two citizen protests.
On 6 September, before the German Air Traffic Control (DFS), the new flight routes to Berlin and was similar in Stuttgart, an example of lack of and poor communication. Without consultation with politics, local government and citizens, the old routes were changed and the new, which are now strengthened through Berlin districts lead when presented for good. The exclusion of citizens from decision-making now may turn out to be a serious mistake.

Led by the political scientist Marela Bone-angle and Mathias Heller lawyer was set up after a short consultation in the neighborhood of a website, designed a logo and you had to set up a supra-regional and cross-party protest movement. The speed and professionalism has surprised even the initiators.

The supporters of the initiative feel deceived, because the new airport was planned for it to reduce traffic on Berlin. Many bought also land in the affected regions in the belief there not to be affected by aircraft noise.

The protest is now virtually built federally and has gained a remarkable degree of organization. Many of the cities and municipalities have established their own platforms (eg www.teltowgegenfluglaerm.de ) to protest and organize your effort to educate residents about the situation at your residence. This
collaborate with the national main platform www.kfberlin.de that drives a general protest against the affected routes.

on the website: "No flight routes to Berlin," may be signed against the new routes are given. The collection is virtual, not yet clear which is whether this sort of collection is also acknowledged in court. At the same time, therefore, petitions are circulating in the normal way. The initiative has many listeners, even within the first ten days they had over 10 000 visitors. About the Internet platform Twitter and Facebook daily updated news can be adjusted to keep the allies in the fight against the routes to date.
Without the new media and the "Mitmachweb 2.0" would be hard to imagine this process, especially when one considers how quickly and how low cost this Protest movement was launched.
Time is pressing for the initiative, since the routes have already been decided and a new debate is not actually provided. But with Stuttgart mind, do citizens make known their displeasure with the lack of participation and poor communication as possible and bring about a change.

Business Development 2.0 - Session at the Government 2.0 Camp in Berlin

On 1. October there were on the second Government 2.0 Camp in Berlin again several interesting sessions on the subject of eGovernment. The participants were able to spontaneously offer their own sessions or to choose according to their personal interest from the wealth of the offer. In addition, they were free to move freely between the sessions. In one of the first session was led by Franz-Reinhard Habbel (DStGB) and Andreas Huber (Public One) of the modern Wirtschaftsförderungsasatz "Business Development 2.0" discussion. The concept attracted the attention of a broad membership from business and management, actively exchanged their opinions and ideas.

Virtualization the company
The economy is taking part in the increasing digitalization of processes and companies to a fundamental change. The value added growth and thus economic growth through the digitization of the company are based increasingly on intangible value creation processes. For economic development, this represents a paradigm shift, as intangible processes take place in an increasingly virtual companies with no localization in the real world - eg in local communities - find. to meet this development will therefore be a change taking place in the administration, to the resulting change in mission and effective promotion the economy guaranteed. look how new approaches could and where the problems lie, was the round of debate.

increase continuity of management contacts
administrations and companies are still functioning after 2.0 not principles. They act too much isolated voneinander.Die new possibilities for communication and collaboration are still not close. In particular, there is often still held a one-off, problem-related communication between citizens and administration. A 2.0 world, but demands constant contact "in both good and bad days," as one participant put it. The continuity of the contacts between government and enterprises must be increased in the world of increasing communication continue to learn each other better and more efficient exchange.

All participants agreed that this is a cultural problem and it requires courageous visionary to effect change. Progress must come from the fastest, then the others can only follow in the column, according to the consensus. This requires rigid hierarchies dismantled and identified the driving forces are connected and supported. This could include greater use of local social networks in which companies are already active (eg, Xing,). The participants agreed that this better was to establish as their own communities. increase

decision-making ability - Trend figures introduce
Part of the necessary cultural change in administration, could be a stronger focus on trend data in decision making. It would make management much more effective if they could establish the basis of "fuzzy" decision declared figures corridors. The past has shown that it often takes too long to collect data in full to even take the appropriate decisions. A called in the session as was the case of a natural disaster due to the rapid action a rough overview seems more appropriate than a late action because of a specific information support. Of course, continue to give accurate data are necessary and required, when it comes to specific administrative work - however, with regard to the proportionality of the specific decision situation.

Social Media Guidelines: Guidelines for the management, network communications
pointed to another problem out a participant from Vienna. In the administration, but also in most companies, understanding of roles are not clearly defined enough. Often the parties do not even know how they should or can communicate with each other. It lacks the basis for joint cooperation, both online and offline as well. The city of Vienna is planning to introduce social media guidelines, in which role models, skills and rules of conduct for online collaboration to be more precise. This guide is intended to give the players more confidence in dealing with particular communication in social media environment.

the end of the session the participants showed once again the urgency of the necessary changes. The pressure on the administration is constantly increasing, not publicly-organized communities make the public more and more competitive economic development. This could replace their function in the long run even.

New Communication Culture required
convert the existing economic development at 2.0, is a new culture of communication were established, in which each communicates with everyone. It takes ideas competitions to develop tailored approaches to economic development and to identify the monitoring of the needs.

The session and the entire Government Camp was 2.0 for all parties involved in an exciting and very interesting exchange of ideas and concepts. It was discussed constructively. Particularly impressed by the attitude of the participants problematize not, but instead to find the solutions.

It has been shown that there is still a long way and many Things need to be initiated even before the new tasks and remove the potential of Web 2.0 can share it. (Maximilian Weinert)

"Come quick!" The digital citizen uprising

Germany in autumn 2010. It will be cooler. Two opposing phenomena are paying off: deal on the one hand the desire for more influence in politics by citizens and on the other hand, the helplessness of the political actors, with the further advance of globalization and digitalization, for freedom, growth and security as central policy aims to ensure the future.

It began with the petition for more Non smoking protection in Bavaria, was continued in Hamburg with the topic of school reform, strengthened S21 in Stuttgart under the term and is expected to see NOlympia in view of the German bid for the next Olympic Winter Games is continued: the citizens to make more pressure on the policy. They are also largely successful because they have thanks to the Internet through powerful tools for articulation and mobilization. Especially with the protests against the new central station in Stuttgart, this is particularly clear. The opponents of the station project Stuttgart21 organized primarily over the Internet. We use all the possibilities of Web 2.0: YouTube, Twitter, blogs, Flickr, Feeds, social networks and bookmarks. This quick and easy technique allows the organizers to ask again and again, tens of thousands of protesters to participate in events outside the station. Every minute will be sent to Twitter messages www.kopfbahnhof alternative proposals on the website -21.de shown. On this side there is also a call to sign an appeal to Prime Minister and other politicians Mappus the next speaker to be announced Monday demonstrations, pictures of the demolition of part of the north wing and new expertise and Others published by the federal environment. New supporters imagine, flyers, posters and postcards are available. Also a call for donations is on the side. A mini-banner counts the days until the state election in the spring of 2011.

On the www.parkschuetzer.de citizens can register to the gate guard and opting for a stage commitment. There are levels green, orange and red at the level of green have registered over 22,000 people, about the level of red 2,000. Red means in an emergency to be ready to face even the construction vehicles in the way or to be chained to trees. The page also live data are visible, for example, how much park guards are currently on the gate guard. The page

www.life-in-stuttgart.de refers inter alia to the Stuttgart-appeal for an immediate moratorium (http://stuttgarterapell.de/) can be signed electronically. Nearly 40,000 people have already done so. Webcams, recent recordings from the central station.

page www.dialog-21.de "represents blunt arguments that are" in a kind of treadmill with posters. So it is, on a poster, "It is true that part of the Castle Gardens site over the years will be. It is also true that this lack of education and culture that make up a modern city. " The site is a campaign "The good arguments prevail" of the proponents fake, it turns virtually the Pro-arguments of the proponents 'um'.

The advocates of the new underground main train station to try on the web at www.the-new-
heart-europas.de the citizens for the reconstruction of the Stuttgart train station to win. However, here no interactive applications are used. Detail displayed on the page the objectives and the project details. Pictures of the demolition of the walls of the north wing will be published. Some statements on the rail project are on the page, self-registrations are not possible. The official site Stuttgart www.stuttgart.de e published an open letter Lord Mayor Dr. Wolfgang Schuster. There is a reference to a base in the urban web site, which in turn www.bahnprojekt the page -stuttgart-ulm.de refers. It is identical to the URL: www.the-new-heart-europas.de proStuttgart21 The association has the side [url = www.prostuttgart21.de] www.prostuttgart21.de [/ url] appear. Some 1,000 citizens are listed there as a supporter.

Just a few years, these mobilization campaigns only with great organizational and financial cost were possible. Invitations had printed and distributed will be costly, reports were made almost exclusively on existing and largely established media. Today we have understood the protesters that the register of the Web 2.0 world to take full. The example of Stuttgart shows that policy, management and owners are well advised to take a closer turn these new media. People expect information and arguments in new ways by their management.

paging . The current Google Street View project - the company published shortly in the Internet real houses first views of the 20 largest German cities - makes it clear how the real and the digital world more and more mixed and is therefore the policy with new challenges.

The combination of power and space is still in its infancy. But see the first signs that a reality and virtuality in the future more and more "superimposed." The mobile communications is on the way to impose real objects a kind of "digital skin" to the user a wide range of possible interactions, based on the displayed objects. This development looks at the policy largely helpless. Only through public pressure they awoke from the digital hibernation. The topic of Google Street View is with all the new legal issues. Already in 23 countries, this service has been introduced. The fact that Germany is not excluded as an important market for IT companies is expected to have been well known. But only now beginning the German policy to deal with it. Quite late.

characterized many years away, that the digital world creates its own jurisdiction. National legal framework is largely ineffective in the globalized world. One can complain or regret, but it is reality. In a recent issue of the prestigious magazine The Economist, the question was whether Facebook, Google and others are far from their own countries in the global cyberspace. Facebook, with its now more than 500 million global users ("residents") of the "third largest state" after China and India. Legal issues such as under the Privacy touch with our service, equal to half a billion people probably more than 150 countries from various law-sen and Kulturkrei. This challenges the global world of states.

Germany has failed to attend at an early stage to an active Netzpolitk. This charge you have to make the policy. The example of Google Street View shows how uncoordinated the federal government this issue is addressed. The Interior, the Ministry of Consumer Protection and the Justice Department went for weeks with different voices in the public. In the meantime, turned on, the Chancellor and asked Chancellery Minister Ronald Pofalla, prepare a line of Google Street View. Federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière did the only thing in which he announced the topics to address Internet privacy and principle. That will happen this fall.

It's preposterous and shows a certain helplessness that leading politicians are known in the media that they exercise the right of appeal to use Google Street View, not to see their private houses shown on the web. Should we not demand more of them to do their job and to create legal frameworks, which both carry the entrepreneurial interests and the privacy of citizens, rather than the concerns of citizens ? To curry

We must be careful that we do not close for sheer activism in public spaces. We threaten the freedom as a fundamental property of an enlightened society. Check According to the Berlin Senator of Justice officials in the Senate administration, the buildings that may appear on the Internet and what is not. This is the wrong way. Public buildings are called the building because they are public or have a related function. Why should suddenly present town halls, swimming pools, fire stations, youth centers and schools are not all "moral rights", not in the digital world can be defined? It is in the public interest that these buildings can be found. The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection said that ground, that when the general right to privacy is, entitled to the natural persons and not legal entities under public law. Thereafter, a cancellation of their buildings require only individual citizens, but not municipalities.

Today's data protection provisions are from the stone age of data processing. Many current basic questions remain unanswered, let alone being asked. Necessary minimum international standards. Privacy has long been an issue for G-8 or G-20 summit. Ultimately it is about the balancing of liberty rights in a global world order not kodifzierten. As long as there are international standards do not exist, as long as you should find a negotiated together.

The topic network policy makes clear how important it is to practice a comprehensive policy. Comprehensive policy and departmental thought fit often do not coincide. A thematic approach to policy - not by levels of differentiated responsibilities and asks - will bring more service, more quality and more efficiency. The world of networking is challenging the state in his new organization structure. The transformation to a government network and an integrated network management Germany has yet to come. [/ B] save
