[nycwireless] more re wireless in 'the street'

2003-02-08 Thread k.skvorak

--
there are certain indymedia folks that are talking about using empty 
pringels cans, and other devices as 'antennas' etc- in an attempt to 
connect with existing wireless networks-though the real experience 
with this is limited

we are also trying to figure out the right configuration for a truck 
that is going to be in different locations in the city on feb 15 that 
will be uplinking video footage to satellite, but has not yet figured 
out the right internet solution - again in the streets

if there is anyone that wants to contribute advice/experience,  their 
participation would be very welcome

they could contribute such info to this list:
http://lists.indymedia.org/listinfo/imc-video

or come visit with us tomorrow at a screening& get together we are 
having and find out some of what indymedia is all about

[nycwireless] Feb 15th anti war activities

2003-02-07 Thread k.skvorak

On feb 15th NYC will see the largest antiwar demos it has ever seen, 
in coordination with the biggest antiwar demos the world has ever seen

IndyMedia will be covering it
http://nyc.indymedia.org/

wireless connections is something we are always seeking to be able to 
fully cover the event

part of that coverage will be 'live' or nearly live video sharing 
across the world

do any of you NYCwireless heads feel like pluggin in?

there is a lot to connect with.

check out the video list for  some of the current tech discussions.

==
This is a proposal to coordinate a GLOBAL COLLABORATIVE IMC video 
project (s)  around the actions planned for feb 15th.


One possibility is like this:

video activists shooting the Feb 15th actions in their cities quickly 
edit short segments of video

each of the groups involved FTP - UPLOAD- short segments to an agreed 
upon server, with an agreed upon video codec

each group that uploads, also has the possibility to DOWNLOAD clips 
from the same server from anywhere and everywhere else in the world 
to edit into their own LOCAL longer video - we each can share each 
others video in this way

groups not working on local pieces can just upload with the knowledge 
that it will be edited into larger pieces somewhere else.

we will be editing our own '
'local/global'  doc,  here in NYC- HOPEFULLY with the inclusion of 
video from all over the world!

and we will be putting video from NYC up onto this server

because of the fact that uploads will likely remain pretty short, 
and that local groups will want to prioritize local voices, this is 
NOT a proposal for a single, definitive  IMC documentary of Feb 15th.

it is more of  a proposal to facilitate the production of MANY such 
documentaries.

-the server has yet to be determined, but i think we can find one

I propose we all talk about this on: imc-video @lists.indymedia.org

http://lists.indymedia.org/listinfo/imc-video


There are also other possibilities for sharing footage including the 
satellite coverage planned by free speech TV- details will be coming 
soon on this satellite side of things, but there is also uplinks 
planned from europe


PLEASE fwd this around to all the collectives, as i have only posted 
it to a few lists so far


in solidarity,
kevin s
