involved with indymedia since the beggining.

let me know how i can help or any additional information. (chiapas has
awesome outreach work as well:)

yeah dri :))
it sounds like the team is forming :)
this is just a quick comment to your last question about blueprints.
these are what people put together after some of the early imcs.
there was a booklet that was put together with the help of deedee
halleck, josh from ohio valley imc and some of us from seattle imc
that was essentially an imc blueprint/how two. i have that in a word
document; it isn't linked off of the process site like these others
(i guess we can easily make that happen :)
the booklet was used for the nab protests 2 years ago in san fran as
well as an indymedia photo exhibit that took place in berkeley film
archives museum (or something like that). deedee made that happen.
we did the photo show at several imcs around the country. it was a
compilation of about 8-10 of the best photos off of the various
imcs/protests in a chronological order. very very cool.
anyway, here's one blueprint:
http://process.indymedia.org/blueprint.html
http://process.indymedia.org/DCBluePrint.php3
and i really appreciate your comments dri.
if you are interested in working specifically on the indymedia best
practices, lemme know. there's also a webdesigner that's interested
too. maybe we can schedule an irc meeting in the relatively near
future.
the video you all are talking about is a great example of what we
could highlight on a best practices or hot projects from local
imcs....
love
