[Imc-tech] Web hosting along with IMC Membership?

[Michael Walcher]

 My comments are offered as tech as a way to increase revenue and interest levels in the IMC 
   Web Space along with membership seems like a investment issue and if money was earmarked to thart particular fund then the project might think of purchasing more webspace tools such as software, hardware and gear and a % and offered to zach 
This way new members have webspace also and can begin the process becoming iMCistas all the while learning from us the skills needed to create media , edit media, exchange media , distribute media, display media and all that we do through the independence of the structure! 
Could work very well with the Capital Campaign and a way to get folks into the IMC as well.
I will introduce my thoughts to the finance group regarding the recruiting of alot of new members thus each paying $50 and getting a kinda package , I can see many incentives in offering various things of interest to both individuals and IMC members as well.

imc's) is on his server. as well, there is a web-hosting agreement
between imc and zach. you might want to contact zach about this.

just as a note, all website stuff is on zach's computer, which is not an
imc machine. we cannot increase the usage of his computer without
compensating. So unless your suggesting that part of membership fees
(which we really need to help pay rent and utilities) goes to help pay
zach for the costs of increased usage on his machine, then perhaps this
suggestion needs to be flushed out some more.

by the way, if you need webspace, why note try a free place such as
geocities, or something?
