1. The project=20

We have organized a room in a house that serves for art exhibitions and as
meeting space for several initiatives. In a room under the roof we can have
our own space. The work to fix the place will be done by ourselves. We don=92=
t
have to pay rent, because the owner wants to support us and the room under
the roof is not used anyhow. So, he is glad we are fixing it.

We would like to use it
 -as an open internet access space for activists

 - to do workshops, which we have to do until now in different places,
mainly=20
internet cafes.=20

 - to edit the website, which we have to do currently from internet cafes
and=20
workplaces, because no one has internet at home

 - generally to encourage people to write articles on computer also for a
leftist newspaper project

We can use an already existing satellite connection from the house, so we
wouldn=92t have to pay for that either.

2. Computers=20

We don=92t have any computers for the space yet. We don=92t necessarily want to
buy new computers, any used computers would be good. We were hoping that we
could maybe get 6-8 used computers shipped over from Europe. Does anybody
have extra computers? Is this kind of thing even handled through this list
or should we contact each European indymedia individually?

3. Funds=20

We would like to apply for shipping and tax costs - the amount would depend
on the country where they are shipped from, so we can=92t tell you that now.
Once we have them, we would also like funding of Arabic keyboards.
