 Hi there,

 I've just found out that Andrew Robinson, leader of the UK Pirate Party[1]
 will be speaking in Manchester on Thursday evening.

 A graphic designer by trade and a musician in his spare time, Andrew heads
 up the UK Pirate party - a political party - registered with the electoral
 register with Reform copyright and patent law as one of it's core aims.

 He is going to be speaking at the launch event of Manchester Free Culture
 Society[2], a newly formed group to encourage discussion and debate about
 free culture and copyright with relation to creative works.

 I'm told that the launch night will also feature:

 John Harris, Director of the ISEI (Institute for Science, Ethics and
 Innovation)[3]

 Creative Commons licenced band: I am Ten Ninja[4]

 A short film by Lawrence Lessig[5]

 Plus art, music, literature and software etc.

 As I mentioned, the event is this Thursday evening, in the council chambers
 at at Manchester University Student Union.

 The event is due to start at 6.30pm and go on until about 8pm.

RE: [backstage] Fwd: [IP] C-Span Puts Full Archives on the Web

2010-03-17 Thread Brendan Quinn
You guys have seen this site, haven't you?
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/
 
You can search by transcript (even in welsh), it has all the local
parliament channels, it archives everything that they recorded AFAIK,
plus some old stuff they've added.
 
Hopefully this goes at least part of the way towards meeting your
needs... admittedly only for official parliament business, not for press
conferences, doorstep interviews etc.

I think it's a particular shame that we are about to have an
election, and it would be just great if the whole campaign's News
Channel output was retained on the iPlayer system, along with the TV
debates and Question time. 


IMHO It would be a great service to the public if every single
utterance that was made could be found and replayed, and possibly
transferred to YouTube.

Add to that a little bit of an index on the subtitles output of
the News Channel and Bingo - real accountability.

As I presume that the coverage will include lots of news
conferences and PR events too, it would be great to hold these
candidates to what they say during the election to the process
afterwards, in particular if there is no party with a seat majority.

Really? Christ.

On a similar note, the whole PARLBUL/BBC Parliament

needs an overhaul. Wasn't terribly forward-thinking,
that one :(
