>Preparation meeting for sbourg bordercamp
>
>COMMUNICATION MEETING
>
>Present:
>can't remember everybody's names and groups. Would be good to send details=
 to
>the communication list.
>
>Understanding:
>- This meeting does not make decisions, but develops an infrastructure for
>further communication and proposals to the sbourg list.
>- no discussion of tec stuff in this meeting (uplink, servers etc), but=
 work
>on it through the communication list.
>
>Outcome:
>A communication list, so far to coordinate the production and tactical use=
 of
>our own media.
>
>Agenda:
>1. Reporting during the camp: open access. Separation of our own media
>production (radio, webmagazine) and dealing with corporate media (Press
>group, does not exist)
>2.  internal communication structure on camp
>3. collaboration with infopoint
>
>Points for the sbourg list:
>- What is the current state of debate about press-work with corporate=
 media?
>Is somebody interested to organise an infrastructure for activists to make
>their points to the corporate media?
>- What do people think about a camera-free zone on the campsite?
>- Proposal to have an open posting website accessible from the camp plus an
>edited version.
>--------------------------------------------
>
>1. Reporting:
>- Nobody in this meeting was interested to organise press work with the
>corporate/local media, but some would participate. Press work means: To
>provide an infrastructure for activists to make their points clear to
>corporate media, through press releases, interviews etc. To deal with
>incoming requests from journalists - point them to people who want to talk
>about their projects and motivations.
>- Many people are interested to report on our own, alternative media (like
>the various indymedia sites and other news magazines) and inform friends=
 and
>family about whats happening. Everybody should have the possibility to
>participate in this process. We are planning to set up a public access=
 point
>at the campsite with about 10 computer terminals - not much for 3000 people
>full of ideas, but with mutual respect it should work.
>- For the Sbourg-camp webmagazine, we propose to have a completely open=
 part
>(video, audio, pics, text) similar to the imc newswires. Everybody on the
>camp will have access to this open posting system. In addition, we want to
>produce an edited version to make it easier to find stuff in the mass of
>incoming reports and txts. A space for the sbourg camp (preparation and
>ongoing) already exists on noborder.org/strasbourg.
>- In which way are we connecting with existing indymedias?
>- Discussion on activists and media activists: not necessarily a divide.
>Let's think about more ways to do proper media actions, instead of a
>replication of corporate reporting. ???my computer is a weapon" vs ???my
>videocamera is not a weapon, its a tool".
>--------------------------------------------
>2. internal communication structure:
>
>- how to provide infos during actions ... verifying informations.
>- infopoint (incoming people, first basic infos ...)
>- internal radio (create points to transmit to the camp)
>- how to create the connection between the people on the camp (open mic)
>- translations (same time)
>- people from genova webradio organise a meeting in Weimar, Germany and a=
 bus
>to bring people directly to sbourg.
>- Many different webradio and tv groups are expected. It's not our buisness
>to control them. People from sbourg will contact localradios (radio
>bienvenue?) sb free-radio is quiet famous and working for 20 years. free
>radio Marseille (connection with french free-radio network). Connection=
 with
>free radio Dijon.
>- role of free radio in case of repression.
>- we will offer our webradio to all fm-radios, european free radio network=
 is
>prepared to spread the news.
>
>----------------------------------------------
>3. info-point:
>- welcome point (space with infomaterial, sold and for free)
>- internal infopoint (map of the camp ... how is it organised)
>- open access point (...=3D) how do the infos from the alternative media=
 people
>come to the infopoints ...
>- infos should be spread through all channels - web, radio, papers.
>- chat room for fast communication. infopoint is just for main infos
>- low tec -> accessible for everyone.
