[CIMC-work] Good Job on our First Workshop!!!

[Garth Liebhaber]

maybe we don't have to think about regular trainings, but at this coming meeting we can think about who we've got on our 
volunteer lists and get something together.  we can even post something on the newswire to the effect of "want to learn 
more about doing media work?"  like a skills share day.

something i realized from our training is how committed we are to our media.  it became apparent through our efforts to 
connect with the audience.  i think they definitely learned stuff, but for myself, it felt like it took a good mental effort to bring 
things down to a more useable level.  it also became apparent when the video kids started pulling out their 'irons'.  not at 
all saying it's a bad thing!  i think that it's notable that a lot of us 'core' volunteers carry a mark of displacement from our 
chosen fields.  and i don't think any of us trying to be elitist with the indymedia project, i think it's appropriate that we can 
serve as positive 'leaders'

my thoughts,

Thanks, folks.  I think I learned more than the participants.

I think it would be hard to do regular trainings until we actually have
an office again. 

Ah, a CIMC office.  Wouldn't that be nice?
