[alt-media-res] news after rome

[steffen boehm]

This sounds great, zoe. Looks like you are making good progress with things
and that our project is actually contributing to something useful in a very
practical sense...
In terms of uploading to the ftp; I don't know what the problem is with
this, so best to wait for the return of mick...
But in terms of our wiki, yes, we do need to put some time into all of that.
I've discussed this with sian and andre some weeks ago and we had some sort
of plan...but I don't think anything had happened yet. I'm off to south
america today, and I should have a bit of time in the next few weeks to work
on the wiki and stuff. Basically we need 'homepages' for all our projects;
and these could be used by project members to present their projects in any
way they like. So, yes, it would be great to have links to the transmission
site/interviews on their... 
Sadly I gonna miss the october gathering of cc/transmission. Sounds great
though. I think we've already earmarked some funding for that gathering...
Anyway, I will continue to be on email...
Take care,
stx

hey all

am attaching the report I'm circulating to online video projects after the
rome transmissions online video project meeting. can elaborate it for y'all
at a later date.

as mentioned, my and others' detailed notes from sessions and also mp3
recordings are on the transmission.cc wiki, i'm not sure if that's
sufficient for our documentation or do I need to somehow link or copy them
onto our wiki? can someone tell me yay or nay on this please?

meanwhile the plans for a second 'clearer channel' video get together in
london in october are evolving into a 'london transmission'; kind of
'retransmistting' what we all learned and decided in rome. this will have a
'private' part with 24/7 hacklab work space, probably at limehouse town hall
(booked) and/or at Rampart social centre (keen) and a 'public' section  at
the British Film Institute, who have come over all excited about the idea.
so, it's looking good, I'm meeting people tomorrow about this, for now the
BFI want a detailed proposal including showreel of films from the projects
involved, proposed speakers etc. and they can fund this part of it!

this is all looking to be in the middle weekend of october, so hold it
free... if you fancy. not sure how our project should relate to all this
'officially' if at all, so wanted to let you know developments so you all
can have a think.

meanwhile, am wanting to upload my latest interviews to the ftp space mick
set up for us so that andre or someone else can arrange transcription
(there's really more than I can take on now, and I might be better off
getting onto some analysis soon, as well as checking transcriptions as they
are done for words/concepts that non-expert transcribers might not know) .
BUT for some reason I can't upload to the ftp space now, and mick has
disappeared offline to build an eco-house for another a week or more. can
this continue to wait?

finally, new on ifiwatchnet, the organisation/co-ordination of the network
continues to disintegrate before my eyes and so I'm now involved in sort of
'unionising' the most experienced regional animators who are currently
thinking of quitting, which could be close to terminal for the project. have
drafted a letter for them to improve/approve which we will all then send to
the steering commiteee. hope it helps. somethings gotta give anyway.

xxx
