[Boston-print] Boston Media Convergence, volunteers needed!

[Pete Stidman]

Sat nite at the Peace Concert I got to talking with Bill Cunningham from the Bridge Newspaper.  Apparently there is interest in many of our small papers around town in sharing resources, and in Bill's words (and my thoughts) Indymedia is the natural convergence point for them all.  A successful project such as this could really help us out on local coverage!  
 
Over the past two days I have been thinking it over and I think what we should do is organize a conference here at the Unite Building sometime this fall or early winter.  The sooner the better, but we should be prepared with proposals and presentations.  We can get a really big room here for four or five hours on a saturday.  But we need volunteers to pull it off.  If we can get a few people to commit to organizing it, people that are not me and Rob since we will be swamped with paper stuff.  
 
Anybody game? This could be fairly easy to do (time consuming though) and very beneficial to the collective.  Please step forward even if you dont want to do it all or dont know how to do it.  You will have help!
