>Hard Drive / Server Problems
> Stallman's hard drive filled up on the 2nd. We made the

> fill up people have problems posting, pages display
> blank, and other bad stuff happens.
>
>
>Donations To IMC-Tech
> In response to the hard drive problem we've received around
> $1370 in the last couple days through the techdonate.indy
> page. We should use this money to help quickly support getting
> what we need for stallman and other imc's that are getting
> servers. The donated money is sitting in our pay pal account
> until it can be transferred to an imc-tech account.

>Indymedia.us
> Looks like we'll be able to register indymedia.us

>IMC List Archives And Search Engines
> The lists by default are indexed by search engines
> sometimes people complain about their info getting listed.
> Basically by default all open lists are archived by
> the engines. Normally this allows people to easily search
> through the archives. Some lists don't want this because
> they need to protect people's privacy. We can close your list
> to search engines if you want.

>Logs.Indymedia.Org
> They traffic logs aren't run through analog regularly, many

>Dealing With Email Viruses
> Email viruses almost exclusively affect people who are very
> politically incorrect! To run Microsoft Outlook Express and be an
> activist is like being an environmentalist who drives an SUV.
> Don't do it! Microsoft is evil and email viruses are karma's way
> of punishing people who use microsoft programs. Needless to say
> there has been a fair amount of discussion about how to deal with
> all the bad activists who are using virus prone software.

>Drop - Indy Web Radio Project
> Drop is a web radio project that started out of the web radio
> collaborations during Genoa, S29, and the WTO Qatar Project.
> Basically it's a way for various IMC's to help collaborate
> to add and schedule programs on a 24/7 web radio project.
> It's cool shit, and it's up so you can listen now.

>Media Politics Group Meets in Philly
> There are tentative plans for the media politics discussion
> group to have a meeting on the 12th of January in Philly
> to continue discussions around developing critiques of the
> FCC, corporate media, and articulating a strategy for
> extending indymedia's media politics future.

>Reading Empire Discussion List
> Empire is the much talked about book by Antonio Negri
> and Michael Hardt about globalization and resistance.
> A group of us have been reading it and want to discuss
> the implications to the anti-globalization struggle
> and our indymedia organizing. We are looking for other
> people to join us.

>
>D14 in Belgium
> Next week there will be a very large anti-globalization
> protest in Brussels. There are tons of indymedia related
> projects converging to make it a riotous good time.
> If you're in Europe you should go, if you're not, I'm
> sure they could use remote support work. If you work at
> a community or pirate radio station hook up with them
> to play mp3's or the live audio coverage. I believe they
> intend to have all coverage be in English, Dutch, and
> French. The Belgium IMC also needs money to help cover
> the costs during D14.

>Argentina IMC
> Argentina is facing a sever economic crisis and it's being
> shit upon by the IMF. IMCistas have been running around
> helping workers in occupied factories write their own
> stories, covering strikes, and generally doing a fine job.
> The IMF wants to bail out the broke government the IMC's
> also broke and we need to provide a little fiscal
> mutual-aid to help the IMC counter the IMF's evil plans.
> Consider having your local IMC do a fundraiser for
> the Argentines. During the crisis they've been producing
> reports in both Spanish and English.

>West Coast IMC Gathering

>IMC-Finance / Money Issues
> By accident the IMC Finance Working group raised $45,000.
> Don't ask how, it's a long story, and what can we say,
> accidents happen. :) They aren't empowered to do anything
> with it, nor do we have a functional decision making
> process for it. The group has given out a few small amounts
> from the global funds but is uncomfortable doing more. We
> need more imc's on the list and creative ways to use this
> money effectively without becoming a centralized ngo.

>Philly IMC Buys A Building
> The Philly IMC is buying a building. They got a three
> story building in West Philly for $15,000 at an auction.
> They've been doing mad fundraising over the last few weeks
> but they need more money to make their goal by the 14th.
> Once they get the space they expect it require another

> a licensed radio station, and now they're getting a buiding.

> which links to womens related articles posted on indymedia
> sites.

>
>IMC World Social Forum
> There is a list for coordinating coverage of the World
> Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil in January. The
> Brazilian IMCistas have asked that all indymedia folks
> coming down to the WSF get on the list. Last year there
> were people from half a dozen imc's but we never even
> had a full meeting. This year it's hoped that we can
> coordinate much more comprehensive coverage of the event.
