The IMC-Summaries Mailinglist
	This is a low traffic non-discussion list for distribution
	of brief summaries of the activity of indymedia mailinglists
	and working groups. Subscribers from several of the global
	indymedia lists have automatically been subscribed to this
	list. 
		
		
Upgrading to active 1.7.1
	The webocoder gnomes have been hard at work. There's a new
	update to active again.

August Euro-IMC-Geekfests
	This august there are a couple techie gatherings of indymedia
	and related radical techies in europe before and after the
	grand hacker fest, HAL 2001 in Holland. This includes the 
	imc-europa-tech before HAL and tech_2 in bristol afterwards.
	Hopefully we'll get a lot of shit down and get to do dry runs
	of various workshops leading up to the ruckus camp in
	the US in Octoboer.

Maffew Retires
	Mathew Arnison is going to be retiring from imc-tech and cat
	work for the next 9 months to focus on finishing his PhD 
	in Physics. Maffew has been a major force behind indymedia
	since before the beginning. Maybe with him focusing on his
	fancy microscopes we'll be able to get rid of php. ;)

Active Rewrite Rumblings
	Idan's Sandstorm and active-xmlrpc code has inspired more
	discussion on a rewrite of active. This includes rethinking
	the database schema, xml, and adding categorization.
	Most of the discussion can be found at the webcoders archive:

	The Finnish techies also have a proposal for improving the
	organization of the sites.
