User:Kardan/Atomic Threats In The Baltic Sea Region/Work section

In this section we organize and coordinate the work on the Atomic Threats In The Baltic Sea Region project.

Preparations
Find some thoughts about tasks and responsibilities for this projects we gathered beforehand: July 2013 minutes

The first big planning meeting (programme) for the project took place on September 20-23, 2013 (including arrival/departure day). Venue was the project house in Döbeln (Germany). This was a good chance and important to start well with the project. Travel costs could be covered, if they were [mailto:atomicbalticATnuclear-heritage.net confirmed] beforehand with us. To prepare this event we had a Skype conference on September 4th at 8 PM CET, a Skype conference on September 12th at 8 PM CET and a last Skype conference on 18th of September 2013 at 8 PM CET. learn more learn more

Tasks, roles and responsibilities
This is an overview of important tasks, roles and responsibilities for the project.

The following task groups are active. On the group pages you find more information and possibilities to contact them:
 * 1) finances group
 * 2) coordination group
 * 3) media group

These groups still need to be set up. They are important for the projects and need people to commit to them:
 * 1) reach-out
 * 2) * social media (e.g. Facebook), email promotion, flyer/poster/...?
 * 3) promotion/inclusion of additional participants
 * 4) * involving, contacting new people
 * 5) website improvement
 * 6) * update, edit, improve website
 * 7) * also technical improvement
 * 8) networking
 * 9) * connect to groups in the Baltic Sea region
 * 10) * inform them about latest results of project
 * 11) * ask for their news
 * 12) secure communication
 * 13) * setup SSL for website
 * 14) * offer audio/video conferences via jitsi.org + pidgin.im (jabber/XMPP)
 * 15) * test other encrypted VOIP tools
 * 16) * test email encryption with people
 * 17) * raise awareness about privacy problems with commercial services
 * 18) * send updates about security problems (e.g. inform about repression, etc.)
 * 19) translations
 * 20) * translate contents of the website, articles, flyers etc. into other languages

These are tasks to be considered in each meeting:
 * 1) minutes keeper (meetings and voice-over-ip conferences)
 * 2) * can be changed/swapped everytime
 * 3) reminder
 * 4) * remind people of their commitments
 * 5) time keeper
 * 6) * can be changed/swapped everytime

Tasks connected to the book project:
 * investigations + text work
 * to have a realistic chance to finish the book within one year: at least 12 very committed people; for every work meeting they need to finish one article
 * proofreading
 * layout of book
 * translations: German, ... + ?
 * organize photos + right to publish them
 * asking for feedback of local groups/experts
 * promoting book
 * selling + shipment

Promotion
We want to involve as many interested and committed people and groups to this project as possible. Thus, we have to spread the word also about the "Atomic Threats In The Baltic Sea Region" project. A first call out invites individuals and organizations to the planning meeting and to join the project. Continuously we should consider who else to invite and to inform the interested public about the network/project and to motivate them to take part.

Media work
Though the project is very much an investigative and educational one, it is a great chance to spread the word on atomic risks and threats. Would be good to do media work to reach a wider audience with what we do. A first press release about the project to be started should be sent out in August to media.

Who wants to join the media group? And who can help with translations of media releases in other languages? - Please [mailto:atomicbalticATnuclear-heritage.net write] us!

Connected media releases:
 * New initiative to strengthen anti-nuclear struggles: Atomic Threats In The Baltic Sea Region (October 21, 2013): English | Finnish | German
 * Neues grünes blatt: Atomgefahren im Ostseeraum (October 6, 2013) German

Media coverage:
 * Anti-Atom-Kämpfe: Atomic Threats In The Baltic Sea Region (October 21, 2013) German
 * Atomgefahren im Ostseeraum (September 2013) German

Additional financial resources
The grant we received provides a financial budget to get started. However, it can't cover everything - e.g. the later working meetings' travel costs are only covered by 70%. If you think we should be able to cover everything, we need to apply for more funding (or raise additional money otherwise). Volunteers for that task, please [mailto:atomicbalticATnuclear-heritage.net connect] to us!

Investigations
''We calculated we would need at least 12 committed people to continuously investigate on all facilities in the region. So far, we found already more than 60 plants - and there could be more! We want to use five of our project meetings spread over the period between autumns 2013 and 2014 as deadlines to finish one topic per person and to publish a preliminary article on our website. Thus, we would have 60 articles in the end. However, as there are more articles, we also look for people who only want to commit to investigating on just one or a few facilties. Please [mailto:atomicbalticATnuclear-heritage.net contact] us if you can help!''

Here is the list of facilities and articles. Bold marked topics already have someone to investigate and write the article about. If articles or drafts of articles already exist online, the topics are linked to them. You are welcome to proofread them, and please use the "discussion" page of the article to leaf your comments and a contact information (like email address, phone number...).

Requirements for each facility article
Some of these requirements don't fit to certain types of plants - then you have to replace them by other reasonable basic information.


 * a picture of the facility that we are allowed to use
 * infobox with technical information about the facility, for example:
 * operator
 * capacity
 * (How much radiation it sets free?)
 * when started to build, when will be ready, delays... (depending of facility)
 * how much a power plant produces
 * type of reactor
 * about exploration sites: Sizes
 * how much waste a reactor produces per year, information about the fuel
 * how many employees
 * number of people living around the facility
 * number of accidents
 * short text (1'500 characters max.)
 * contact details of critical groups working against this facility
 * group name, phone, email, website, postal address
 * links to operator and critical websites
