I found a couple of articles about the PNN's plan for a Peoples Media
Center and The Peoples Press Room. It looks like a great project:
Another world (of media production) is possible (2 diff stories with the
same title):
http://www.poormagazine.org/index.cfm?L1=news&story=1736&pg=1
http://www.poormagazine.org/index.cfm?L1=news&category=71&story=1742
There is a part of me that want to make sure we have our shit together
before we go to other people asking for/ offering help. We have very
little idea how many IMCers will be attending the USSF, If we will need
or
be able to provide facilities to produce media, if we need or will be
able
to provide money.
Its been my expierience that many progressive groups in the south,
particularly POC lead, are territorial, and I would like to make a good
impression on them especially in terms of knowing what we need and can
offer. At this moment I dont know if anyone other than 3 of us from the
Houston IMC collective that are going from the IMC network.
These things said, I am probably blowing my concerns out of proportion.
It
would be really helpful to know if PNN and the Peoples Media center have
secured a space, if they need help staffing (and if there would even be
room for more people to work out of there), and if they would be
intrested
in collaborating.
If they are open to collaborating and we would not a drain on their
resources, I think this would be less stressful than starting from
scratch
as well as a great chance to meet some new media activists, and
concretly
help out the USSF and spread the word about IMC at the same time.
QUESTIONS:
Is there anyone in Atlanta (or elsewhere) who has contacts with PNN?
Is there anyone on the US List who would be intrested in making contact
with PNN and/or being a liason?
Who on this list is planning on attending the Social Forum?

that's a mighty long cc: list up above. Are all of the atlanta imc
people
on one list, perchance?
The Poor News folks should be pretty easy to contact- they are based
here
in the SF Bay Area. If contacting them thru the email address on the
website doesn't work, I can round up a couple of email addresses.
I have found that they seem to... overlook... Indymedia in terms of
publicizing events, getting out the word about what they do, etc. And
they've got some folks who have very strong personalities. In other
words, they might be a bit hard to work with. Or not. (My partner just
told me that he recently heard Tiny talking on the radio about how they
had gone broke years ago and written a book and etc, but really, it's a
question of priorities-- cuz they do still exist and do stuff, and what
they see as effective- probably if they see Indymedia as having
resources
to contribute, we'd be welcomed in some way or other...)
USSF is not on my personal/political radar. I don't know what I'm doing
after I get over this laryngitis and I have a fear of committing to
things
that are going to cost a lot of money.

Hi all, replies below.

I think that Holly is from Atlanta --
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-us/2007-April/0417-az.html
she is also on the imc-us list so I have removed her from the cc.
There were also some dicussions of this back in January on
imc-us-editorial, including posts from gary and michelle:
https://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/private/imc-us-editorial/2007-Januar
y/0107-kx.html
who are from imc-altanta, and are on the imc-us list. in this note gary
gives some explicit info about imc-atlanta, and also gives his phone
number.
frank also posted:
https://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/private/imc-us-editorial/2007-Januar
y/0109-5u.html
he used to be involved in imc-atlanta, but is not any longer. he
suggests contacting Warren, who is not on the imc-us list. To my
recollection he has not weighed in on these discussions.
All that said I'm not certain we have established connection to anyone
who used to be involved in the imc-atlanta at a level of tech access.

Given what both Rob and Mahtin have noted, I'd say taking our time
preparing a corresondence would be a good idea. I would think that
having clarity on who from indymedia will be coming, what they can bring
in terms of tech & media skills and equipment, would be important. i
also think we should write seeking their advisemsent on how we can be
helpful to their effort.
I also think it would be good to have some goals as to what indymedia
wants to get out of this, and to make sure we're thinking at a level of
reality about those goals. for example, maybe we want to produce a few
good features on this important event, in which case we just need people
to be in touch with imc-us-editorial. maybe we want to recruit new folks
to re-start atlanta imc, in which case we need to have done background
work and gotten in touch with folks who have the tech skills and access
necessary to pull that off. i'm imagining a newswire might be a helpful
thing to the PNN/PNC project, but only if its really there, and we have
reliable tech support for it.
in terms of bigger goals, maybe we want to get PNN folks' advisement
about and maybe involvement in atlanta imc. maybe we want to engage in
dialogue about their media making efforts and how indymedia could be a
beter ally to them. maybe we want to be explicit about where indymedia's
weaknesses are and where we need help and new energy, including new
vision and initiative. To the extent that those broader goals are ones
that folks agree on, I would think that it would be beneficial to
communicate them explicitly at some point.

At this point I can't commit to being down in Atlanta, also for
financial reasons.

hey kiddos!!
I was wondering if we're going to start using the imc-atlanta-ed list to
communicate about Indymedia goings-on at the US Social Forum. I want to
launch an Indymedia skillshare & start promoting communication about how
people can sign up and stuff.
Also, there's some people working on Media Coverage and such at
chat.indymedia, so it would be cool to start creating archives of those
conversations.
peace,
sofia

of writers, editors, and collaborators, Art Papers is now
a major international institution that, based in Atlanta,
uniquely defines contemporary art as it happens.
