Hey Tony,

I just checked the archives and I can't find application data
imc-process, neither in new-imc ?


I guess you should restart the application in new-imc ?
If I read over them, I'll excuse myself.

& happy new year and so all ...

Bart

> MISSION STATEMENT:
>
> Lancaster IMC
>
> Mission Statement v.1.0
>
> Lancaster Independent Media Centre (Lancaster IMC) is a not-for-profit
> collective made up of various and diverse groups in the Lancaster area,
> including journalists, students, educators, film makers, artists,
> researchers, activists, and concerned human beings. Affiliated with the
> Indymedia network, we cultivate and maintain links with many related
> regional
> and global networks dedicated to providing grass-roots, non-corporate
> coverage of "the  news".
>
> With the aim to strengthen the wider Lancaster community, we provide a
> communication hub through which to collect and transmit information
> emanating
> from the local and global levels.
> We aim to provide services for local independent media producers and
> artists
> to share the diverse skills involved in all aspects of media (e.g.,
> journalism, editing, and computer and information technologies and theory)
> with interested members of the public. In recognition of the fact that
> technical decisions have social and political consequences, and that old
> and
> new technologies are ambiguous - potentially both exclusive and
inclusive-,
> we aim to democratise technical skills and languages, and promote those
> that
> are, so that they are accessible, intelligible and transmittable to and by
> all.
>
> We are organised as a collective in which decisions are made by
> consensus and
> debate through electronic discussion lists, as well as at regular
> face-to-face meetings. We strive to operate with a horizontal internal
> structure, reflecting seriously upon and constructively addressing all
> informal hierarchies that may emerge within the organisation.
Participation
> in organised activities is open to all; and do-it-yourself activities are
> encouraged.
>
> We are committed to freedom of and access  to information. It is in this
> spirit that we reserve the right to filter materials that promote
> discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and
> other
> such social divisions. In the event that we receive such material, we will
> collectively review each case in its specific context to determine the
most
> response-able course of action.

 What I can say is that Microsoft has enough cash on hand to pay 5,000
programmers to write free software for about a century. There is clearly
no need for the proprietary software model (RMS)
