	Yes, St. Louis IMC is finally having a general meeting to 
launch the new site and workplan.  IndyMedia operatives, 
afficionados, and groupies are invited to show up and plug in... it's 
a germinal moment, and an opportunity to play a role in making good 
things happen.

	There has been a hiatus on meetings since the "ReBoot 
Brainstorms" this past Spring:  Folks have been busy & burrowed in 
the nuts & bolts, making steady progress -- new server space, new 
site software, new interface nearly ready, for clarity, topical 
breadth, and ease of use.  We also have 2 new training projects 
underway -- multi-media training in collaboration with KDHX, and 
journalism/writers skillsharing workshops on core press skills.  Now 
it's time to pull it all together and make it happen.

	Proposed Agenda:

    *  New Website Template -- the logic & layout, reviewing the final draft.
    *  Writing and Publishing on StLIMC -- the call for new stories, 
tools to make 'em.
    *  Training Project Reports -- status & next steps in building 
IndyJournalist skills
    *  Forming an Association -- new structure for interaction, 
grants, & continuity
    *  Crew-Building -- volunteers for 3 working groups: Editorial, Tech, Co-Ops
    *  General Meetings -- restoring the monthly schedule for ongoing work
    *  What You Think -- ??

	For background, we've sent out minutes on the ReBoot 
Brainstorms, and the full series of reports (3/15, 3/26, 4/5, 4/18) 
will be available through new links in a few days.  This is an 
interesting body of ideas... it will help to see what has been 
discussed, to see where we can go.

	Again -- this initiative won't move by magic:  The new 
St.L-IMC needs your input & energy, and grows on a broader consensus 
of views, aspirations, and skills in the community.

	RSVP, queries & ideas welcome... hope to see you Tuesday evening!

	 Mo' than Befo',
