cool. thanks.
Sending in the application depends on whether there are people who are
interested in taking the project of building a specifically indymedia space on.
There was only 4 of us last week. Hopefully quite a few will turn up for this
weeks meeting and we can make a decision as to whether there is energy to do it.
I am planning on going away for a few months fairly soon so I wouldn't be around
to help. Putting a big callout on the website might get a bit of energy though.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you on behalf of the La Trobe University Environment Action
Collective to request donations of articles to the annual ?green? issue of the
La Trobe student magazine, Rabelais.

The Environment Action Collection is group of students from La Trobe University,
Melbourne, with a common interest in environmental and social issues who
organise events and disseminate information regarding these issues in and around
the La Trobe University campus.  Each year we have the opportunity of compiling
and designing an issue of the Student Union funded publication with complete
editorial control.

For this year?s edition we are seeking donations of articles from
established writers/publications relating to environmental and social and
political issues, especially works of comment and analysis between eight hundred
and one thousand words. It is an attempt to sophisticate the publication and
have it appeal to an audience who are traditionally sceptical to the musings of
student activists, and also to directly introduce our readers to writers and
publications we consider important and of whom they may have heard little about.

This will be of benefit to us both. The magazine will run 3000 copies and will
surely be read by a greater number of people. This will no doubt introduce your
work to a new audience and direct their interests towards your future
publications. And it will help us more effectively enliven campus interest in
the social, political and environmental issues of our time. Neither the
collective nor any individuals involved receive any financial remuneration from
this publication, nor with their involvement in the collective at any time.

Any material you do donate which is included in the publication will be used in
full, without any additions and with full credit to the writer and, where
relevant, the publication. No work donated will be used again at any time nor in
any other way than described above.

Please direct your reply to enviro.src at latrobe.edu.au before May 16th 2003, as
we have to submit the magazine to the printers by the 20th  May. We would also
appreciate any suggestions of any writers/publications that who may be
interested in donating articles.

Thankyou for your time, for any donation, and for your work that we greatly admire.


Sincerely,

Janak Rogers
j4rogers at students.latrobe.edu.au

Document

From: "geert lovink" <geert at desk.nl>
To: <n5m4editorial at balie.nl>

Thanks everyone in Amsterdam for that extensive list.

I can't really say where my ideas fit in. I'll send them anyway.

I would emphasize a few aspects that have changed since N5M3, Mach 1999.

1. The rise and rise of www.indymedia.org and IMC's. The link to N5M is
clear to everyone. Still, the indymedia concept is in urgent need of public
reflection and there are only few places where something like that can
happen. What is the tension between the drive towards becoming a
professional news medium and the open publishing principles? What are the
merits of such a centralized web portal? Why not spit up and create a
thousand new indymedia that no longer carry that name? What are the good and
bad sides of 'branding' in the tactical media scene? N5M and tactical media
are also brand names. The rise of weblogs in general has changed the
Internet considerable over the past few years. I think it would be good if
this would be discussed.

2. There may not be a 'public' anymore but there are huge mass movements
these days, very much unlike early 1999. For many the 'multitudes' exist.
They are not mere spectacle. What I missed in the program so far is
theoretical reflection on the current global movements and a reference to
all the debates around Empire (whatever you may think of that book...).
Technologies of Empire is a topic that many would like to address but do not
quite know how to do this because the Negri/Hardt discourse contains so
little clues how to start thinking about networks, new media and media
activism.

3. Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq. Directly after N5M4 we plunged in the Kosovo
war and that event sort of made full circle with the current Iraq war.
Debates over humanitarian interventionalism have raged over the years.
However, the tactical media aspects inside these wars and conflicts haven't
really changed all that much. What is the use of tactical media in times of
war?

More later,

Geert

I don't know if we can help but please get in contact. Ross House
Association offers resources and assistance to small community and self help
organisations. We have a five story building in Flinder's Lane which has
some vacant space at the moment.

Groups who are tenanted here have to share a set of values that  means they
are  eligible for membership of the Association. I am sure Indymedia would
have similar values and ways of working. There is a charge but how much
depends on how big and resourced the group is.

Anyway please contact me so we can discuss all the options.

we talked a bit about a space at the meeting on tuesday. The problem seemed to 
be more one of people and energy to create it rather than one of money. I 
think we can cover the rent if we got $$ from global indymedia. I don't think 
it's worth sending the application off though if there are not people 
committed to making the space.
I will not be here when spacestation packs up so won't be able to help out 
with any setting up of a space.
If there are people who have time/energy to do it or can find people then i 
reckon it'd be great to do and really useful but i don't get that impression 
at the moment.

Comment on the remark below about the
rise and rise of indymedia,

- surely there must be others somewhere who
can support and continue the valiant work that has been
done by so few up to now in Melbourne,
which has been so much valued world wide.

is there no way to recruit?

not to sure if this is the right email list for this sort of stuff but here 
it is...

I've just heard about a few organisation in Melbourne that donate computers 
to community groups. They are "Com.it"  ( 
http://www.com-it.net.au/index.html ) and "Computer Bank" 
(http://www.computerbank.org.au/victoria/ ). Should I follow these up? Do we 
need anything at all, and if so, what? Any thoughts?

unfortunately i think ross house doesn't have cable internet and is still on 
dial up which would make things very difficult. I didn't gather that they were 
offering us free rent though. probably should write and find out.
i like the idea of it remaining around irene if possible for the  
support/energy is might gather but that ofcourse is up to the people are 
prepared to do the work.

In terms of spaces, have you thought of the area under Trades Hall, where 
the old Labour College was? It's pretty run down but if you approach Jacob 
(the building manager) they might be glad to have someone come in and fix 
it up.
Just a thought.

I reckon they could be useful, even if it means having another computer for out
the front of spacestation. those computeres are gunna continue being there after
spacestation packs up and other groups are going to hopefully look after them.
so if you get offered stuff, may as well take em.

Writing for Social Change: a roundtable discussion 

Thursday 22 May from 6.30 ? 8.30 pm 

Victorian Writers? Centre 
1st floor, Nicholas Building 
37 Swanston St, Melbourne 

Writing for Social Change will be a moderated discussion on the issues 
facing those that seek to provoke and promote a critical view of 
society. This may cover how writers (both here and overseas) get their 
works published (or not) and what happens when they do; how editors of 
magazines select and promote issues/writers that challenge ideas of both 
a conservative and progressive nature; how those working to offer new 
ideas can find new audiences (and how to combat the commercial nature of 
most media); and a discussion of alternative models to disseminate ideas 
pertaining to issues that affect society. 

During this event the moderator will promote a discussion of the issues 
with the invited participants and audience as well. The roundtable 
participants include Guy Rundle (Arena magazine), Nathan Hollier and 
Kath Wilson (Overland magazine), Pio (poet), Judith Rodriguez 
(International PEN), Andrea James (Melbourne Workers Theatre), Andrew 
(Indymedia), Anne Demant (FOE) and Tabatha Fulker (The Paper). 

There?ll be room for about another 40 people sitting (and a fair few 
more if they?re happy to stand or sit on the ground!). This is a free 
event for members of the Centre and will cost $5 for others. 

Please call the Centre for more information on (03) 9654 9068.

Hey spacekids,

  I'm looking into IMC related spaces that have been closed down or
are closing for a possible feature on indymedia.org.  I noticed on the
melbourne.indymedia site that spacestation is closing, but I couldn't
find anything on either their site or yours as to why.  In the past
few weeks sites have been closed for reasons ranging from building
code violations (ucimc, usa) to too much website traffic (athens imc,
greece) to alleged threat of violent protest (stlimc, usa).

I'd be interested to hear why you are closing. I hope it is nothing as
insidious as the other imcs.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Jayde Lovell, and I am 16 years old, living in Victoria, Australia. 
I am currently in Year 12, and I am doing a project about racism in sport, with
particular focus on the Darren Lehmann incident in January 2003.  During an
International cricket match, Darren Lehmann made a racial slur against his Sri
Lankan opponents, and was consequently suspended for 5 matches.
As part of this project, I am seeking statements from organizations from both
sides of this issue, and I would like to include a statement from your
organization.  All I need from you is the opinion of your organization on this
matter, whether you think racism is a problem in sport, what you think should be
done about racism is sport, and what you think of Mr Lehmann?s punishment.  
 
Thank you for your time,Jayde Lovell

hey,
spacestation is closing due to lack of money, energy, direction and people to 
keep it runnning. that's the breif version.
irene isn't closing.
spacestation and the paper and the video lab etc have cable net access and 
there is also a server here for the network which is a very useful resource.
sorry to not get back to you. i thought someone esle might pipe up, snowed 
under with too much email.

Message-ID: <Law15-F64kq1MdZTj0L0000b468@hotmail.com>

Present: Andrew, Nigel, Tim, Sophia, Takver, Chris, Scott and Anna

Agenda:

Geek Bee:

Not much happen during the weekend. Nigel and Dave are going to met up this 
weekend to sort out some things.

Spacestaion Issues:

It's closing down on the 6th or 7th of July so we will either have move to a 
new site or sort out a new space at Irenes. Ross House and Trades Hall also 
have space available = Sophia offered to check out one (or both of these?). 
Our requirements for a space are low rent and cable access - maybe also 
after hours access. Sophia, Nigel, Tim (and Adam previously) have expressed 
interest in working through this issue. Funding Application to the 
international Indymedia funding organisation is on-hold until a solid choice 
has been made - US$1000-$2000 grant expected if application is accepted.

RRR radio slot:

Every three or so weeks Nick has done a 15 minute telephone interview with 
RRR. He now has other commitments and scott has offered to take up the slot.

Writing for Social Change Forum:

It's on this thursday, 22 May 6:30pm - 8:30pm 1st Floor of 37 Swanston 
Street. Andrew will be on a panel of speakers. Organised by Victorian 
Writers Centre -free but it would be appreciated if you expressed interest 
in advance by contacting them on 96549068.

3CR Radio, Syn FM and PBS:

People were wondering if the 3CR radio slot is still happening. Adam if you 
are still doing it let us know as people seem to be willing to take on more 
radio slots. Tim has expressed interest in following up the Syn FM slot. 
Chris has offered to explore the possibility of having some indymedia 
content on PBS.

That's all. :0)

interesting to note that visits quadrupled when we got a feature up on 
indymedia.org. normally we get around 12-1600 visits a day, we got around 4800 
yesterday. i'm not sure how much "visits" relates to actual users/people coming 
to the site. dave?
also wondering if when people are looking at the site at melbimc.nomasters.org 
if this is being recorded in our hits?
the rdf is still outputting as melbimc and there are lots of others that would 
be good to change.

Hi spacegang.
 
I was very sorry to read at
http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2003/05/47197_comment.php#47214 
you guys are closing down.
 
The most disapointing thing for me is that I live right next door to Irene but 
I
never really used the space much... I wanted to say I think melbourne is worse
off without you guys, and (belated) thanks for the year and a half of time and
energy (and money) you put into this project. I hope it doesnt seem like people
dont appreciate all the effort you folks have put into this project - coz I for
one do.
 
Maya
 
 
PS - by the way, I know its been running for a while but I reckon the "new"
melbourne.indymedia sites looking nice. You can never have too much white 
space.
I think you've pretty much struck a good balance with how you deal with
trolling, nuisance stuff & so on. Ive heard MIM get a bit of unfair (in my 
view)
flack about this, so just thought i'd share my opinion.



Somewhere in the archives there's a radio broadcast wherein a heated 
altercation
between Noel Hill of the venerable folk band Planxty and several Pogues ensues.
It apparently began with Hill's assertion that The Pogues were "a terrible
abortion of Irish music" and quickly slid downhill.

hi
well Im just wondering what you all think about this
idea, as far as new IMC space goes. 
At access news we would benifit from having a work
space for what we do, and I recon if IMC and access
news open anew office together (@Irene?) it would be a
good thing. Becaose there will be more people to pay
the rent and source new equipment and it would be
really good to have a strong independant media
workspace. 
We just had a.news meeting now and people here are
really up for it. We were thinkig for it not to be an
open access area, but really just for the producers of
imc and access news and other news productions..
i hope this is making some sense as weve been having a
meeting for HOURS...so yeah..whaddya recon of that?
I have not been in touch with Ross house yet but will
be tommorow.
cheers

Just though I'd let you know that a member of the greens who came to visit 
on sunday has access to unlimited very high speed internet for free through 
family connections. He has proposed placing a microwave dish on the roof of 
Irenes to see if he can make a direct microwave connection with his house a 
few blocks away so we could use his internet for free - which would be damn 
fine. He also said he would drop around two nice computers that his work had 
lying about. Hopefully he comes through with his offers, but he might not. 
I'll check it out and get back to ya.

It's OK Sophia - you're making perfect sense - amazing what matchsticks can achieve. :)
I think it's an excellent idea - it's a good time to get alternative media services sharing resources. We should discuss it in detail at the next meeting. 
Interesting idea about the microwave link Tim. By one of those bizarre space/time continuum synchronicity things, I was discussing exactly that idea with Dave on Sunday. There is more info on this growing underground community at <melbourne.wireless.org.au>
I hope to get involved with this group soon. If it's as good as it seems, we should probably get involved as well.

                        All the best,
                                   ZB

Hiya Jonathan,

First off, the good news - last friday i got a full time job, which 
means i wont be cold and poor anymore (yay for me). i start next 
monday...

the bad news is that i wont be able to continue doing the RRR 
indymedia slot - the person who hired me is quitting this week, and 
the amount of work i have to do will be quite large for the first 
month (new computers, new websites, lots of overtime).

im really sorry about this - i thought it would be fine for me to do 
both, but after talking through the handover process and what needs 
to be done, ive realised that there is no way i can do both in the 
foreseeable future.

andrew, indykids - one of y'all are going to have to take the show on 
(if thats cool with jonathan). the slot is every second tuesday at 
5.15pm, starting next tuesday. when someone has been nominated for 
the position perhaps jonathan and i can have a yack to them about how 
its worked in the past,

good luck with the show in the future (no doubt i will be listening in online)

cheers
nik

A Call to Join and Contribute to the Establishment of a
Video-Sharing Syndicate/Network


Project Description:
For some time now the idea of utilising peer2peer
structures to assemble a user-built distribution
platform has been circulating. Recently, in the run-up
to the G8 meeting in Evian, a concrete proposal has
been made to establish a system for the sharing of
video. Long-term we believe that we can assemble a
sustainable and scalable platform for audio-visual
materials of a critical and independent nature. This
is an appeal to groups/individuals to get involved, dedicate some
resources, support and expand the project generally.

Works to be distributed over the system will vary from
somewhat edited footage suitable for use as a stock
archive to finished documentaries/films. Each file
will be accompanied by  metadata in an xml .info file
and produced as an searchable RSS feed for people to
integrate into their own sites and published on its
own website (where there will also be a manifesto,
how-to's. contact info for participating groups etc.)
Amongst the metadata fields will be a specification
for the nature of the license under which the
materials may be used (e.g. Creative Commons
share-alike)

Participants in this project range from SO36 provider
in Berlin to people from the No Borders network,
Candida TV in Rome, New Global Vision (Italy),
Radioserver (Germany), Big Noise Films (New York), Free Speech TV
(Colorado), NoWarTV (Roma) Hackitectura (Spain) and individuals from
Autonomedia,  Mute etc. Groups in the UK, Korea, US and Switzerland have
also been approached.

If you are interested in the project please get in
touch immediately as actions around the g8 will
commence on May 29th. Responses should include an
email contact, an expression of
general agreement with the aims of the project and expected contribution.
Please email the mailing list at v2v at coyote1.kein.org.

See below for the call for participation in Geneva and the long-term
project of video file-sharing:

GENEVA03 is a temporary broadcasting studio during the g8-summit
transmitting video and audio streams live from the cultural center l'usine
in geneva from may 29 to june 3. The livecast will be streamed on the
internet and picked up and redistributed by local and international
broadcasters as well as projected in the streets and theatres of  Geneva.

In order to cover the protests between Geneva, Lausanne and Anmasse in
real time, media activists will work from the  "everyone-is-an-expert"
mobile studio van, which - with a self-adjusting bi-directional satellite
dish - will provide a mobile internet connection and transmit live-footage
from the roaming protests.

The GENEVA03 project is a joint effort of a growing number of video
activists and independent filmmakers together with dozens of indymedia
reporters, to organize and broadcast independent news coverage from the G8
events. We are currently programming a stream, that, besides the live
coverage of the mass-protests, will include movies, concerts, talk-shows,
vj sessions, subvertisements and other radically innovative formats.

The project is an exploration of new forms of collaboration in film and
videomaking; a  hybrid sending and receiving experiment crossing borders
between media. In Geneva we will launch V2V, a peer-to-peer video-sharing
network, which will work as both a content management and archiving
system. Filmmakers, local and remote, can make contributions. They can
upload their films, videos reports and roughly edited material onto more
than a dozen servers, which will host the material in the P2P-networks.
The V2V standard suggests a set of specifications for the encoding with
half of the standard broadcast quality as a compromise between a modest
upload-time and a tolerable resolution for screening, in order to
facilitate the global exchange of images. At the occasion of the live
stream from geneva the V2V virtual video filesharing network will be
launched and beta-tested. But the project of an opensource video
production and distribution network will be developed further on.

This is an open call to join in the production and distribution of the
GENEVA03 broadcasts and the launch of the V2V network.

1. Take and rebroadcast the stream, or download broadcast quality video of
your choice directly from the server, to rebroadcast in community
screenings or on local TV, Radio broadcast, or to simply post the URL of
the stream on other web-sites.

2. Upload your video and become part of the stream!
Broad themes for content are:
? Freedom of movement and freedom of communication (Migration, Borders,
technology, copyright/left
)
? Movement of movements (the view from the ground)
? Control, surveillance, war
We are looking for a range of formats, from documentary to comedy, from
subvertisements to talk shows, vj sets to animation, and whatever you can
imagine.

I've had a look at the last half dozen articles hidden, and I agree that 
they all needed hiding. Reviewing recent moderation has given me a

Victorian Trades Hall picked up the Obituary on Vic Little, and provide 
a link back to our original posting on Indymedia. See
http://www.vthc.org.au/media/general_news/20030522_Vic.html

And Trades Hall have put out a statement by Sharan Burrow in regards to 
opposing deportation of Iranian refugees.
http://www.vthc.org.au/media/union_news/20030528_Iran.html
This probably should be added to the feature as it is an important

It looks good, but I have found a bug. Aotearoa imc urls are generating 
www.indymedia.org.au/... when they should be www.indymedia.org.nz/... 
The links are fine once nz is subst for au.

I also phoned up Talk Back with attitude on 3CR this morning and had a 
talk about the top two feature stories.

yeah,it's not as live as i thought, that needs to be fixed.
if people are interested they can get on the oceania list (there are people on
there from melb, syd, bris, adelaide, perth, nz and manilla indymedias)
list is here

Dear Nik/ et al

Further to my last; Nik after discussing a few ideas via email with 
the Programme Manager at RRR , Tracee Hutchison (cced above) , I 
think I'd like to suggest the following.

We'll leave Indymedia this coming Tues as you can't do it (congrats 
again on the new gig). I'll explain the slot is taking a break for 
the week and give you a big on air thank you.

This would leave the segment due on June 17. Between then and now , 
I'll ask the Indycrew to come up with someone who fulfill the 
following criteria

*Ability to clearly communicate to listeners the issues at hand and 
the tenets of why they are important and not perhaps being reported 
elsewhere

*A lively, engaging radio presence

*Potential to develop a 'rapport' with listeners and myself

*Someone who might be a little more adept at thinking on their feet

*Someone organised enough to email through 3 topics for discussion 
the day before and call at 5.10 once a fortnight

*Somone who's keen, interested, and think they'll enjoy it !

Once you have someone in mind, I'd propose a meeting on June 10 at 
3.15 at RRR, assuming all concerned can attend.

cheers and thanks again Nik for all your effort and work

Jonathan

Message-ID: <Law15-F3NLYytxfmMZ00000d8cd@hotmail.com>

Mat, a loverly person involved with the greens has given us/irenes 4 
computers + a hub for 140 computers! I'm not sure what to do with them 
though... I'm not on the geek list so if someone could post It there that 
would be cool. here are the spec that I could Identify without pulling them 
apart.

1: P120, 64meg RAM, 1gig HD
2: P200
3: P120, 32meg RAM, 2.4gig HD
4: ???CPU, 2gig  SCSI HD

1,2, and 3 have cd-roms too.

Not sure what to do with the Hub as I can't possibly imagine when we ever 
would have 140 computers? Any Ideas about anything? Maybe a geek bee thing?

Tim

heya gang,

just checking in to see if anyone has replied to jonathan at RRR re: 
the radio slot. he's emailed me asking if anyone wants to do it.

i reckon it would be a real waste if indymedia didnt keep this 
happening - it reaches smewhere between 15-20,000 ppl a fortnight,

his last email is below,
nik
