[Imc-auckland] Aotearoa Indymedia Convergence 2007 - irc meeting #2

[Omar Hamed]

Hey,
Just quickly,
1. Auckland Indymedia has a couple of thousand dollars that we could dip 
into to cover food, venue koha and printing.
2. There are PCs with the net available at auckland university of course. 
Although unite could be a backup option.
chur,
omar

> We had a quick irc meeting tonight about the Convergence. Irc log is
> on the wiki:
> https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Aotearoa/IrcLog20061205
>
> Here's a quick summary:
> So far we have the dates sorted (Friday 2 - Sunday 4 February, 2007)
> and we're pretty certain the venue is Auckland Uni ClubSpace.
> According to Sahar we have dibs on the space for those dates and a
> booking will be formalized in the new year.
>
> I have volunteered to help organise feeding the masses and have joined
> the Auckland list so we can start getting that organised. Does
> AucklandAIM or AIM as a network have any funds to cover the costs of
> this event?
> - food (what we can't dumpster or get donated)
> - venue koha?
> - other stuff?
>
> We discussed a rough idea for the program:
>
> Friday night: 6 or 7ish, a dinner/ housekeeping/ social/ film
> screening (maybe Whose News?) Will need Video projector and DVD player.
>
> Saturday/ Sunday:
> 9am voluntary collective breakfast
> 10am first session(s)
> 1pm lunch
> 2pm second session(s)
> 7pm dinner
>
> May need PCs, net access etc
>
> Sat after dinner: more social time, maybe designate a pub or cafe to
> occupy for the night?
>
> Talked about putting out a call for anyone involved in independent
> media (including but not limited to Indymedia projects) to faciliate
> practical workshops or strategy/ topic discussions. Would this concern
> anyone? I would assume final decisions on appropriateness of
> facilitators to the Indymedia kaupapa would be made by consensus on
> the imc-aotearoa list?
>
> We also talked about the subtle differences between Aotearoa Indymedia
> Convergence and Aotearoa Independent Media Convergence. Smush prefers
> specifying Indymedia. See my reflections in separete email.
>
> We are going to have another irc meeting on Wednesday 13, 8pm in the
> #aotearoa channel:

> Wiki pages about the Convergence are here, feel free to add your

> (please note: this url has changed to reflect the fact we're talking
> about a convergence rather than a conference, subtle but important
> differences)
>
> Please feel free to join us.
>
> End of summary.
>
> I'd like to suggest that we aim to have 4 1 hour sessions on Sat and
> Sun, with 15 minute morning and afternoon tea breaks. Keeping sessions
> short and topic-focused will keep us from biting off more than we can
> chew and getting lost in long, rambling koorerorero (chitchat).
>
> I'd also like to suggest that on Sun after dinner, before we all
> scatter, we come back together for a closing round and debrief of the
> Convergence organisers. End on a unified and constructive note!
