>The world social forum starts in 2 weeks , thats 14 days, i had

>and difficulties in a work space.

>anyway, we battle on.

>Indymedia kenya has just been set up and hopefully it will turn into

>Ive been involved with the project in a support role with trying to 
>set up local listening nodes, so far there has been some interest 
>expressed in working with the project from physical spaces, radio 
>stations, imc events.... in Nairobi/Kenya, Dublin/Ireland, 
>Barcelona/Catalyuna/Spain, marseilles/France, Philadelphia/US.... 
>these are the ones i am aware of, perhaps there is more...
>
>what can be done by groups working outside Nairobi for duration of the WSF
>
>1 - terrestrial and web radio stations can tune their stations into 
>the radio streams from Nairobi. hopefully there will be many streams 
>coming out of Nairobi during the WSF.
>
>2 - physical spaces outside Nairobi can open for duration of WSF, or 
>part of, with radio speakers playing the audio live from Nairobi, 
>and video stream if it happens.
>these physical spaces can have information, exhibition, films etc 
>about the social forum project... possibly also computers tuned into 
>imc-kenya for the duration of the forum, in the hope that the 
>imc-kenya site becomes an active resourse during the wsf and 
>beyond...
>local forums or discussions can happen in these spaces about some of 
>the issues raised within the WSF or about the nature of the WSF 
>itself, where it is now, where its going etc......
>
>it is hoped that social centres with computers connected to the net 
>will open for the above...
>
>3 - while the WSF is on, perhaps there is possibility of those 
>outside Nairobi at home in their own spaces trying to experiment 
>with the limits of how we can communicate as a global network while 
>wsf is on. this might happen, who knows....

>:: Indymedia Africa working team introduction, from radio livre:
>
>Organizers in Kenya, throughout Africa and around the world will 
>work together, both on-line and in face-to-face meetings, to build a 
>temporary independent media center in Nairobi, Kenya, to provide 
>communication during the January '07 World Social Forum. This 
>"convergence-based" IMC will provide text-based, audio, and 
>(potentially) video coverage of the World Social Forum, both on-line 
>and through a local low-power radio station, enabling independent 
>media coverage of the WSF during the forum itself as well as access 
>through the world wide web to the WSF by an international audience.
>
>The IMC will also be a hub for trainings and hands-on media-making 
>workshops throughout the World Social Forum. Thousands of organizers 
>will be coming to the World Social Forum from around the globe, 
>especially from Africa; this IMC will empower activists (especially 
>those in Africa) to create effective independent media institutions 
>in their countries. Also, all the equipment purchased for this IMC 
>will remain in Kenya for use by the Kenya IMC and other Kenyan 
>independent media projects. The IMC plans to be open from January 13 
>to January 25. The WSF itself takes place from January 20-25.

>:: Radio nodes update
>
>This is a proposal to Syndicate content from different nodes in 
>social centers and other alternative media outlets during the WSF 
>and combine it with content from Nairobi also. A kind of global 
>collaboration on both virtual and physical.
>
>basically getting more social centres and other spaces to open up 
>during WSF as local nodes around planet to go to to firstly listen 
>to stuff live from kenya, but also maybe where they could have 2 way 
>systems: being able to participate in forum without physically being
