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

Thu Dec 7 16:11:11 PST 2006

Re. info commons - are there dedicated rooms indy people
could have access to? It will be unlikely a group can use
the 'common space' because the talking that will need to go
on will disrupt summer school student study/writing space? 
As a student, you'd know more about this than I would - but
i do know that the university has tightened up considerably
on outside access to university resources - will indy people
be able to do what they want do with the computers in terms
of potential workshops, site admin etc.?  I don't have the
answers, but they're things to think about.  The Unite
offices are just across the road from uni and, should we be
able to use them, there will be more workshop flexibility
there. There is also a kitchen and zip facilities.  It's
possible to think about a combination of both venues
