[Imc-africa] [indymedia.org #3419] Wanto be a member(imc in Angola?)

[sphinx at indymedia.org]

Dear Antonia, it is nice  to know about u interest to be involved
 in indymedia. Those of us who have had the luck to know and be part 
of the network fine it absolutely important to get to expose the 
excitement of indymedia to others inovlved with alternative/independent 
media work in Africa. 
May be it is worth adding to what Rabble already said that indymedia is
 about consensus based media making. And it is not very complicated to 
started an indymedia group in Angola. 
 
For a start I'll advice you to:
.1- Read the following documment that expands on the principles on which 
indymedia groups are expected to be organised-formal consensus:
http://consensus.hypermart.net/OCAC/  
.2-Read the websites from rabble and 
http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/NewImcHowTo .
.-3) Register yourself in the following two network list to get a feel 
of the indymedia process and discussions. 
-new-imc list:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/new-imc 
-imc-process list: 
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-process

Then you can go the next steps as prescribed in 
http://newimc.indymedia.org


If you get any questions in reading this documents or the website please do 
write to the group that help new imcs(indymedia media centres) at new-
imc at indymedia.org or the imc-africa list 
at imc-africa at indymedia.org .
  

About our plans for training/conferences; we are planning an Africa 
indymedia Conference in Dakar-Senegal from  1st to 14th March 2004.
Where we'll have workshops and clarify how the indymedia network 
functions. You can read more about the Conference and other plans in the frame 
work of the tour which ends in this conference at
 http://imc-in-africa.so36.net. 

So if you are intersted in being invited to the conference then send an 
email in that respect to imc-africa at indymedia.org .

Yet I think for you and the others that will be involved in indymedia 
Angola to better benefit from the conference it will be more wise to get
to work about setting you indymedia now; so that at the conference you
 could try to better understand and clarify any complications that you
 may have run into in the process.
All the best .
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. 
Sphinx.
