Re: [nycwireless] Handling the March Against War
What about video over tcp? Usually when the police start attacking peaceful protesters the confiscate all the video tape. If the video were sent offsite they couldn't do that. I don't think this protest will have any bad nastyness it's too big not to have corporate media coverage. -- Daniel Children today are tyrants.

Will there be Uplinks from the Israeli capital, Jerusalem, and Chevron? The jews there have a lot at stake in this stuff... this war against iraq might finally mean freeing the jews from Arab oppression . ruben On Thu, Feb 13, 2003 at 05:22:07PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I was wondering, how can wireless be used to help mass demonstrations?

Re: [nycwireless] Handling the March Against War
I like that idea. I know a coworker with a camera hooked up to a laptop hooked up to a wireless card. From an app standpoint, here are a couple opportunities. These assume you ccan cover the whole demonstration area. * Create a simple sign-in page. If there was some mechanism to verify the submission is from a real person (not a bot), people could start gathering real attendance numbers. * Set up an event blog. People on the scene and people viewing the scene can post. * Add in some chat. It'd be cool if you could pinpoint yourself on a map to show people where you are. ...
