[New-imc] Online form: Proposed new IMC! (IMC Iceland)

Wed Apr 16 11:41:08 PDT 2003

Hello Blicero and Changsing

There was an Iceland application ages ago - that i was looking after 
- it goes back about 1/2 years! But they never got much further. As 
there is now a new one i think they might join in as the last i heard 
they stopped because they were travelling...

Below are the details and contacts - i would prefer if you could take 
it on as i have just had a baby (Leila) and am a bit preoccupied! - 
good luck

cheers tony

Hi!
Thanks for writing! Busy, yep, but our biggest problem is that all 
those most interested have actually moved away, temporarily, and live 
all across Europe. My friends and I have, in the meanwhile, put up 
the website www.nyhil.com, countercultural, publishing political 
articles and literature alike. But we're not really doing any news 
reporting there, understandably so as we are absent.

There will be increased efforts in the Icelandic left in general in 
the coming months Š I'll let you know as soon as a real possibility 
seems to open up ...

Cheers!
Haukur Már.

Dear Tony.

Our situation has changed for the better.

Eldar Astthorsson, the editor of the website http://www.palestina.is and an
active member of the Iceland-Palestine association, contacted me about the
building of an IMC web in Iceland. We will join forces to get it going, and
have, together, access to quite a force of people, I believe.

Tell me two things: Do you have a server that could host our web for free,
and do you have a ready-made IMC web publishing system that we could simply
copy to start our web? Both things would certainly save us a lot of time and
trouble -- although we know web-savvy programmers who are willing to do it,
my experience is that the good-hearted freelance programmers are always
troublesome and slow. Maybe programmers in general are that, but I don't
know the other sorts.

For trust: Eldar is a working journalist, my CV is here:
http://www.hi.is/~haukurhe/cv-e.html

Chao!

Haukur.

This is our situation:
Participation in the building of a regular IMC web was not as expected. Such
a web is however needed now more than ever, as our Prime minister goes crazy
(I send you an interesting article about that at the bottom of this email.)

What I and my friends have done is to build a basis, with articles about
politics, global and local, culture, humanities and literature, on this
site:

http://www.hi.is/~haukurhe

This web is made in the name of Nyhil -- 'Ny' means New, so the concept is
coined from New and Nihilismus, to symbolize our attempts to rise anew from
all voids.

Nyhil is a closed companionship, although growing, consisting of poets,
political thinkers and activists, students, writers, musicians and
filmmakers, between 22-25 years old. Our new web is being built here:
http://www.nyhil.cjb.net

and will be opened shortly. Attempts to include an open news thread on our
former web failed (no one participated), but we will try again on this
latter one. We also plan to introduce our new web seriously, as we are at
the same time publishing the first book under Nyhil's label (poetry from
Eiríkur Örn Norddahl) -- the rumour about our current web has very silently
spread around.

Cheers!
Haukur.
