[sphinx]

In responses to the call for the lists of IMC delegates for the
Alternative(Indymedia) Conference built for Dakar Senegal from the 1st to the
14th March 2004 we got this, as our list this far for the Conference.  Please if
you responded to the call for delegates and you are not in the list, please do
indicate . Thanks.
-South Africa opted to send 3 delegates 
-Ambazonia opted to send 3 delegates
-Kenya opted for 1 place though we are still waiting to hear from the other
Kenyan group who filled their application in December 2003.
-Angola opted to send 2 delegates
-Congo opted to send 1 delegate.
-Madiaq opted for 2 delegates. 

-UCIMC (IGAP) is sponsoring 1 volunteer(delegate) to the conference.
-There is a volunteer from IMC-Holland coming to the conference.
-There is a volunteer from IMC-Germany. 
-IMC Italy showed interest we are still waiting to hear from them.
-An activist from North America MAY come.
-Four other activists from Switzerland. 
-Sadly enough we’ve not received any reply from IMC-Nigeria which is one of
Africa’s official IMCs.
-We’ve as well NOT heard from the forming IMC Morocco; of which IMC-Madiaq have
been active in helping them in the forming process. 



As it stands we need funds to cover Transport fair ESPECIALLY for the African
delegates to the conference and the 2 other delegates from IMC-Madiaq who cannot
 afford the fair to Dakar. We also need material for the conference which 
include  technical equipments and printed material; which since we sent out 
calls, we have not recieved any serious feetback yet.

Again; material needed to run the workshops:

   1. -A beamer
   2. -Five computers (at least)
   3. -Three video recording machines and a video editting machine. 100 video
cassettes.
   4. -Three mini-disc recorder/audio recording machines. 200 pieces of
mini-disc/tapes.
   5. -Three printers.
   6. -5 small radio transmitters.
   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.

    
Waiting for your opinion on ways to slove these problem.
