Sounds good Kristina. I created the listserv this afternoon & you should've gotten an email about it. <br>
<br>
I'll register the domain name tonight and hope for getting a site online
asap. I set up a conference site last year and we may be able to clone
it and reuse its functionality. <br>
<br>
Will keep you posted.<br>

Chris & others,<br><br>1. I don't believe Brian has registered the domain yet. He requested I send him the request to his gmail account rather than the tech listserv to expedite the process.<br>2. A separate domain would be preferable, so it can be passed on to future host sites, but I'm open to either suggestions.<br>
3. I plan on purchasing the domain out of pocket for the time being, and in the event we don't get funding (Kansas City gets the bid rather than us), I can sell/hand off the domain to them.<br>4. Drupal would be ideal, no fancy features just yet.<br>
5. Monday night we will establish who will be responsible for building/maintaing the site. I imagine it will be one or two people, as a part of the larger Tech role for the conference. <br><br>Let me know if you need anything else. I will send out the general invite to the listerv after the Monday night meeting<br>

Kristina,<br><br>Request for clarification on the tech requests related to GRC-<br>1. has Brian already registered the domain name<br>2. Can it be a subdomain like <a href="http://grassrootsradio.ucimc.org" target="_blank">grassrootsradio.ucimc.org</a> or do you need it to be a separate domain <br>
3. already asked about the listserv name i can go ahead with GRC, or grassroots-radio , just let me know.<br><font color="#888888"> <br>chris</font><div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 5, 2011 at 1:04 PM, Kristina Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kristinawho@gmail.com" target="_blank">kristinawho@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Greetings everyone,<br><br>At the IMC Steering meeting last Thursday, a proposal was passed to include the IMC in the bid to host the 2011 Grassroots Radio Conference (GRC) the first weekend of August. This is an <b>excellent</b> opportunity to bring big players in the radio movement from across the nation into the IMC and the Champaign-Urbana community, and a <b>substantial</b> fundraising opportunity for WRFU and the IMC. Hosting this 2 1/2 day conference is an chance for WRFU, the IMC, and the greater CU community to come together and support a social justice, media advocacy and community radio.<br>
<br>Some steps that have already been taken:<br><ul><li>
A projected budget has been created</li><li>
Request to IMC Tech group to register "<a href="http://grassrootsradioconference.org" target="_blank">grassrootsradioconference.org</a>" and create a GRC listserv</li><li>
IMC passed a proposal to make a formal bid for the GRC this year.</li><li>
A meeting is scheduled with the Champaign County's Visitor's Bureau,
of which the Sales Director has offered firm support in helping us place
the bid</li></ul>The most necessary step though, that still needs to be taken, is bring together all interested parties. If you would like to assist in coordinating this event or volunteer your time/resources, please meet with us at the IMC on <b>Monday, March 7 at 6pm</b>. We will discuss what the GRC is, steps that have already been taken, and how you can help. If you cannot make it to the meeting, I understand this is fairly short notice. If you can't come but want to support this effort, email me, and I will make sure you are included in the conversations. <br>
<br clear="all">SO, to sum it up:<br><b>What:</b> GRC Interest Meeting<br><b>Who:</b> Everyone interested (get it?)<br><b>When:</b> Monday, March 7, 6pm<br><b>Where:</b> At the IMC (202 S. Broadway in Urbana)<br><b>Why:</b> ...do I really need to answer this?<br>
<br>Please pass this message on to others that you think would be interested. <br>Hope to see you Monday!<br><br>-Kristina<br><font color="#888888">-- <br>Kristina Williams, News Media Coordinator<br><a href="http://ucimc.org" target="_blank">Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center</a><br>
