[imc-wmass-discuss] Next WMass Indymedia meeting, Dec.16, 9am

[Tribal Scribal]

rick,

sorry that happened. i didn't forget. i said at the last meeting i'd be tied 
up w/family stuff today.
i hope this isn't an indicator of how we'll be setting up for the 1/13 event 
  :O

as for the poster: we'll need to start postering right after new years day. 
i'll cover the east valley hill towns, and part of amherst, say main street, 
the east side of n. pleasant street and boltwood walk. we'll need to revisit 
poster sites to be sure they're still up.

d.o.

>Update from my end:
>
>1. From last meeting I was supposed to look for the poster (from the spring
>event) on my computer.  I don't have that - sorry should have said sooner.
>All I have is the WMass Indymedia brochure.  Not sure who did the poster -
>probably Carlos?
>
>
>2. Regarding the site that we wanted to create whose function would be to
>give ideas to reporters on what to report on (and list date/time of events
>that might want to be covered):
>
>I had put something up about 3 weeks ago here:
>
>http://www.indynewsfeed.org/
>
>But have not had a chance to work on it since.  Sorry, will do.
>
>I also plan on having multiple sites within this site:
>
>wmass.indynewsfeed.org
>boston.indynewsfeed.org
>
>Etc...
>
>
>3. Regarding the main wmass.indymedia.org site:
>
>The two major issues are:
>
>a. We have to get off of the Ahisma server.  I am still not clear how much
>time we have, but I don't think it is a rush.  So, we are trying to figure
>out where to go (as are other Indy sites on that server).  I am getting 
>some
>pretty good help from one person (who goes by "ekes"), both on getting
>server space and on moving from Dada to Drupal (see "b" below).
>
>b. We'd like to move to Drupal, which is way better than Dada. Other Indys
>are doing same.  If we had the server space figured out, we could move to
>Drupal very quickly, IF we didn't care about bringing the old Dada data 
>into
>the Drupal site (in which case we could probably leave the Dada stuff
>sitting on the old site as an archive, until it dies some day).  But ekes 
>is
>seeing if he can figure out how to move the data from Dada to Drupal.  Even
>if he does figure that out, that is not the only difficulty.  There are 
>GB's
>of media on the old server that would have to get moved*, and also the way
>that Dada does the paths to the media is different to Drupal.
>
>* a lot of this media is junk.  People uploading Britney Spears or
>whatever...  too bad.
>
>Unless ekes figures out how to do all of this easily, I would definitely
>leave the old Dada stuff behind.
>
>
>c. One other issue:
>
>It would be nice to find another place to store the large media (audio and
>video).  The obvious place is ourmedia.org (which is connected to
>archive.org).  We could do that by simple having people put media there, 
>and
>then link to it in their posts.  However, that makes for a two-step process
>to post an article:
>
>1. put the media on ourmedia.org.
>2. create article on wmass.indymedia.org and link to the media on
>ourmedia.org
>
>...which is not ideal.  Although it could be done and it's only for audio
>and video (not images) so maybe that's not such a big deal?
>
>I am trying to see if somebody has figured out how to post media to
>ourmedia.org from within a Drupal site so that it could be more of a
>one-step process.
>
>
>That's it.
