[Imc-finance] IMC URUGUAY about Request for Indymedia Network Server Expenses

["::Libertino:"@riseup.net]

El colectivo del CMI Uruguay aprueba el uso de nuestro dinero para 
financiar los servidores de estos Indymedia canadadienses.

Creemos que el uso del dinero de la red mundial debe tener como 
prioridad el mantenimiento de la estructura técnica.

Trataremos de participar activamente de la lista, pero por ahora no 
tenemos un representante oficial.

The uruguayan IMC colective approves the request for expenses of the IMC

We think that the use of the money of the global network must have like 
priority the maintenance of the technical structure.  We will try to 
participate more actively in this list, but so far we do not have an 
official representative.
