Dear Comrades of indymedia solidarity. 
I’m Sphinx from IMC-Ambazonia, imc.Germany and involved with the preparation of
the tour to Africa that starts this October in Spain (http://imc-in-so36.net) .
 On the indymedia side of the tour we need quiet a couple of hard ware to help
run the workshops and to hand some to the comrades in Morocco who are in the
processes of organising an IMC together with comrades from IMC Madiaq who’ve
paid them a couple of visits and have been working on that for sometime now. 
This far IMC Madiaq happened to have gotten a donation of some 15(about) PCs
from Amsterdam for the imc-Morocco project but we’re having trouble to get these
pcs  down to Andalusia; from where  the Madiaq comrades will take the pcs to
Morroco during the meetings planned in Morocco  as part of the indymedia side of
the tour to Africa .  I’m writing to you about this because at the last IRC
meeting on the tour I volunteered to write to you and ask for you to support 
the project with hardware. 



Equipment needed 
-We need material to run the workshops; I propose the following : 
1.	-A beamer 
2.	-Five computers (at least) 
3.	-Three video recording machines and a video editting machine. 100 video
cassettes. 
4.	-10 mini-disc recorder/audio recording machines. 200 pieces of mini-disc/tapes. 
5.	-Three printers. 
6.	-10  radio transmitters (FM or mono) or wifi stuffs. 
7.	- 10 video cassettes of films made by other indymedia video working groups to
be used in screening . 
 Software needs 
1.	-We need to ask indymedia-tech to load the computers for use in the tour with
one of the many freesoftware Operating System. 
2.	-Need a portable version of an indymedia production system which allows
articles and other content to be published and produced on the computer without
internet connection. 
3.	-We need an easy to use audio editing program. 
4.	-We need an easy to use video editing program. 
5.	-We need an easy to use lay-out program. 
6.	–There is the request for software for Arabic sites for Mroccoo 

And will be very grateful if you do get active and try to collect them for us.    

Best Regards
Sphinx
