Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 07:31:50 -0000 Subject: [dissent-tech] Admin Assistance Needed Message-ID: <20040421073143.5EB5B285DE@mail.webarchitects.co.uk> From the Desk of: Dr.ZANE S.MANDLA. Director,Audit&Project DEPARTMENT OF MINING =& NATURAL RESOURCES. CONFIDENTIAL TEL NO: +27-89999557, CONFIDENTIAL FAX NO: 27-734776627. STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT. Sir, I am Dr.Zane S..MANDLA. Director of Project, South Africa Ministry of Mining & Natural Resources. I am making this contact with you based on the committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us with a solution to a money transfer. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. In enfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction with sincerity, trust and confidentiality. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as a director and with the co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U. S Dollars (US$18,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount (US$18.5m) represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles got approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.I have the authority of my partners involved to discuss on the modalities of sharing with you. Your share of the entire sum will be US$5.55Million (30%), US$11.1Million (60%) for us and US$1.85Million (10%) for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. I am available on my confidential telephone number above to entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this transaction. Kindly notify me by fax your secured telephone and fax numbers for further details upon your acceptance of this proposal, this will enable me to call and fax all details for your understanding before we commence. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation. Best Regards, Yours faithfully, Zane S.

Here?s the text for the front page of dissent.org.uk I don't know how easy it is, tech-wise, but m idea for it is that the bits in bold should be hyperlinks to other pages: People?s Global Action hallmarks should link to www.agp.org (or perhaps to the page on that site that actually has the hallmarks on it?) Info points should link to the contacts list (working groups and local groups). I think the contacts list is currently only available in the newsletter .pdf. It?d be good to make it a page of the website too. Next meeting should link to information about the next meeting. All I know so far is that it is set for the 3rd and 4th July, probably in Bradford. Maybe just put the dates until the rest is confirmed and "to be announced" The "next meeting" page should also have hyperlinks to the minutes of past meetings and the agenda of the next one when there is one. Also very important right now is that the callout for june 2004 should be very prominent - maybe a flashing link on the frontpage.(is that possible?) I like your idea of having a side bar menu (on the left?) with links to key parts of the site. I guess it could include meetings, contacts, international networking (i will send the international call in another mail), up-coming events, news, resources, links page blah blah blah. we can work on making all of these pages later. and also making it easy for groups to add information to them. Jonathan from UHC collective was working on a logo and artwork. do you have a contact for him? i don't seem to but i'm sure i can find one. I have loads of fairly basic ideas about layout (not artistic stuff about design, but more site mapping, to make information easy to find) and i?m quite excited about woeking on it with you. I?ve never really done web stuff before: too techie! So i?m looking forward to finding out more.... I?ll get in touch when i get back from ireland and we can organise a website group meeting in notts. Lovelovelove, kx ******************** TEXT: ************************** The Dissent! network is made up of groups and individuals planning actions against the 2005 G8 summit. Dissent! is committed to taking direct action against the G8 and what it represents. Nobody owns the network and it has no leaders. Anyone who claims to speak on behalf of the network is lying. We aim to disrupt the G8 and prevent their summit circus from taking place as planned. We still have a lot of time before June 2005: time to reflect on our struggles, to dream, and to create new ideas. This is a call to participate, to use our networks and our experiences and our strength to build for summer 2005 All the groups working within the network agree to the People?s Global Action hallmarks as a guideline for working together. Get involved by either contacting one of info points below or come to the next meeting. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

Again, the bits in bold should be hyperlinked. Dissent Network should link to the front page of dissent.org.uk; People's Global Action to the www.agp.org website; bi monthly meetings to the next meeting page. The PGA Gathering Belgrade should link to the pga gathering website (not sure what this is).I guess The other two events don't need links yet. xxx k Resist the G8 ? UK 2005 In 1990, the G7 held it?s meeting in London. It passed by quietly. There were no protests and there were no 'red zones'. Eight years later, 400 social movements from around the world - under the banner of Peoples' Global Action (PGA) - co-ordinated local resistance to global problems. In the UK 50, 000 people came together to resist the G8 who were meeting in Birmingham. In 2005, the G8 returns to the UK. Since 1998, the summits and conferences of the global elite have been resisted in every country in which they have attempted to meet. This resistance has successfully delegitimised these institutions and strengthened the social movements that attack them. But what does this mean? How can we continue to resist and push for radical social change which is more than a day of spectacular action and more intense repression? Global anti-summit mobilisations have linked diverse struggles tackling common issues. These mobilisations have, over time, created a global 'movement of movements', in many respects historically unprecedented. But where do we go now? Can we get away from the role of the 'anti-globalisation activist' we are increasingly expected to fill? We want to keep our ideas and forms of action moving and evolving. Since summer 2003, people have been talking about how to act against the G8 when they return to the UK. A new network of local groups and individuals has emerged called the Dissent! Network. This network is very aware that it is part of a global movement. Putting on a day of action for people to attend without as much discussion and reflection as possible is a wasted opportunity. We want to work together with people from around Europe and around the world to decide what we - as a global movement - are going to make of this moment. We don?t yet know where the G8 is going to be held in the UK so we can?t tell you to "come and join us". This is not a call to action yet because we don?t know what action people will choose to take. A collectively written 'call to action' will come later. This is a call to learn from our history and our successes; a call to assess our current position and our current strengths; a call to debate and strategise; a call to formulate a response to the heads of the world's most powerful states meeting in Europe next year. We need to take the opportunity, at activist gatherings in Europe and worldwide, to discuss what we have learnt over the last few years of action. Please send feed back from these discussions to us at the contact address below. Three major events where ideas will be discussed are: Peoples' Global Action European Gathering Belgrade, Serbia, July 23rd July to 29th July 2004. European Social Forum, London, October 2004. Festival of Dissent! UK, location undecided, April 2005. Dissent! Also has bi-monthly meetings at locations around the UK.

Some changes in how the network, works has also happened. the web group decides what goes up in content and style, members from dissent groups also publish their work. but it is up to us to allow and make room for content, bear in mind that in 6 weeks the G8 2004 is on so there will be stacks of news to go on. obviously anyone objecting to content /images etc. we alter remove. but it is better than us waiting for the content/images and the like. One request was that the website was to corporate and I have changed the template from the requests at the Manchester gathering. people also commented that information such as working groups was to hidden away and that they use the enrager website as it has far more info on it and easier to find stuff, so I will simplify the menu and have added further menu to the right of the main page. Security: in less than a year the website is likely to be come HOT not only with traffic but also police interest and they might try to shut it down so we need to set up mirrors and backup websites. also possibility of WAP information may be necessary From anarchobabe at fempages.org Mon Apr 26 18:00:48 2004 From: anarchobabe at fempages.org (Anarcho Babe) Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 18:00:48 +0100 Subject: [dissent-tech] Website changes In-Reply-To: <003101c42b91$83b9a310$a6a2403e@Nobody> References: <003101c42b91$83b9a310$a6a2403e@Nobody> Message-ID: Hi, have updated contact details for Edinburgh and also put up a guestbook module - can be unpublished/uninstalled if not wanted. Tried to install the calendar/events component but got an error message saying: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: activateeditor() in /home/dissent/public_html/components/com_events/events.html.php on line 863" and played around with adding some more links. Do we want to have a gallery or not? We could already look through indymedia uk or whatever and carry over some pictures if we want to. In the components there is also a "template generator" which sounds interesting, as it is a step to step wizard in how to get your layout transformed to a "mambo skin". Unfortunately layout and design is really not my kind of thing, but guess somebody has already volunteered yesterday to look into doing this and is following it up? That would be great! Also there is a tamplate chooser module, so if more people would like to do more designs and layouts, it should be possible, too, and then the user can decide of what he/she likes best. cheers Ulla P.S: changes look good to me! But it would be better even, if we could change the point size of the text to be regularly 12points or 10 at least. There should be a css stylesheet round somewhere where it could be changed, sometimes it also appears in the admin. Otherwise it makes some problems to be readable. Guess its trendy at the moment to make text small and grey, but we never go with the trend but make our own, don't we?

I personally am not sure about gallery, never know who you might be dropping in the shit, but some of the images could be changed for more G8 stuff, ?dose the gallery allow anyone to up load images? font size is a valid point I think it should be bigger or we might have loads of anarchists not being able to see the g8 due to poor eye sight. there is also a wap plug-in so people can read the front page news etc with a mobile phone think it needs installing on server so space bunny might need to do that.

There were a few posts to the Dissent! list today asking for more participation in the web site and for comments on the content and design. So... Here?s a few comments from me. First of all: The new design looks excellent!!!!! Its much, much, much easier to navigate, find info etc... and much easier on the eye (although the logo in the top left hand corner of the home page and the graphics still look a little corporate). All in all it looks wicked, though! Here are a few minor comments on how it could be made a bit easier to navigate/ show the relevent info. It could well be that you wanted to make some of these alterations anyway but didn?t get around to it yet. Also, I thought I?d let you know that we?ve jsut printed 2000 stickers advertising the website to be distribted to European groups at the PGA Gathering in Belgrade, and elsewhere, so hopefully there?ll be a lot of interest in the site from outside of Britain soon. 1) On the page: ?Who We Are? It says follow the link to the PGA website. Maybe would be good to put a direct link in there to the pga site (www.agp.org) even though it is linked elsewhere on the site. Also, in the sub-section starting with the question ?Can I get Involved?? the answer is a little vague. How about replacing it with something like, ?There are around 15 Dissent! Network affiliated local groups and Info Points around the country (PUT IN A LINK HERE TO LIST OF INFO POINTS). If there is a group near you, get in touch and get involved. If there?s not one in your area: set one up! If there?s a specific aspect of the mobilisation that you would like to get involved with, there may already be a Working Group working on it (PUT IN LINK HERE TO LIST OF WORKING GROUPS). If not: set one up and let others know about it and see if they want to get involved. Let people know by either mailing local groups, posting information to the Dissent! email list (LINK TO LIST SUBSCRIBING INFO) or the enrager.net web forum (LINK TO ENRAGER.NET G8 FORUM) or by coming to the next bi-monthly Dissent! Network Gathering (LINK TO INFO ABOUT THE DISSENT NETWORK GATHERING) 2) In the ?The News? section it is a bit unclear what the difference between ?News? and ?Info? is. Maybe they can be merged until there is a real difference between the two. i.e.: News could be for action reports etc... 3) In the Alternative Media list in the Web Links section, maybe add the following for a start: www.schnews.org.uk SchNEWS is a news sheet which has been produced weekly in Brighton for almost 10 years, bringing news from the frontlines of the global resistance. http://www.eco-action.org/dod/ Do or Die: Voices from the Ecological Resistance is an occasional journal crammed with reports and analysis from the world-wide ecological frontlines. These are not voices of outsiders, jouranlists or academics, but of those involved in the struggles themselves. www.ainfos.ca A-Infos is an international, multi-lingual, web based, anarchist news service. www.enrager.net enrager.net is a growing resource of information. It aims to provide tools to facilitate communication and networking around Britain's libertarian and anti-capitalist movement. http://www.geocities.com/aufheben2/ Aufheben is an annual journal produced since 1992 by a group of people who had been involved in the movement against the 1991 Gulf War and wanted to develop their theoretical understanding of capital and class struggle, to be able to participate in movements more effectively. 4) On the ?International Call Out? it would be good to put in the following web links: Following the mention of PGA link www.agp.org Following the mention at the end of the text of the PGA Conference in Belgrade link http://www.pgaconference.org/ Following the mention of the ESF link www.esf2004.net Following the mention of the bi-monthly gatherings add g8gathering at yahoo.co.uk 5) In the ?Contact Us? section, the postal address was for the Gathering before last in Brighton and is no longer relevent, but the email address is still correct. It might also be worth putting on this page that the best way to get involved would be to contact your local group, with a link to the list of Info Points 6) It might be worth re-naming the link Info Points ?Info Point and Local Groups?, it is probably a bit more accurate. 7) Not sure if you?ve got the technical expertise (I have absolutely NONE), or how difficult this is, but it?d be good to have one of those link boxes to the Dissent! website that people can take from the website and put on their?s. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Brighton address will be removed and changed to Bradford as soon as I get confirmation. any chance of uploading the artwork for the stickers in case other groups want to print and distribute but thanks for all the links I was just about to search for them. I agree that the News and info is unclear and will give that some thought there is also legal section and tactics section to go up but we need to get the later checked with the network, you wont see these for a while as they contain no info yet, hoping to get a copy of no comment so all can print off.
