[Imc-sac] indymedia meeting in Sacramento invites two more!

[Mike Rhodes]

Ron:

How easy is it to post an article (or report) on Indymedia?  Lets see how
long it takes you to post the info below on the Central Valley page.  I got
my stopwatch out and the seconds are ticking away. . .

Good report!  Thanks!

> Access Sacramento hosted a successful "Posting Party" here in our media
lab

the

handled.

process

area.

security/defense, etc.

other

release,

type"

on the

> Soon postings from individual Indy media users will grow here in River

interested editors
