[Seattle-editorial] Re: [Imc-seattle-radio] modified radio button proposal

Hey.

Since there hasn't been an actual radio group for a while, Jason and I and 
sometimes others have been just kind of making decisions as to where things 
point on the website, what the programming is, etc. It's great to have 
someone actively thinking about this stuff and I'm going to go ahead and 
make the change Nathaniel suggests. [as soon as Stallman is back up 
anyway--appears to be down]. I'm sure that post-RTM there will continue to 
be more interest in radio progamming--in fact it looks like there's a 
little radio group forming who can continue to make decisions about 
progamming, # and bandwidth of streams etc.

On a related note, at the last general meeting Brandon wisely brought up 
the complicated topic of ad-hoc vs. process--could also be called 
autonomous vs. collective, or "how do you decide what things at the IMC you 
have to just do yourself, which things you can ask someone else to do and 
expect to get done, and which things are done only by the approval of 
working groups, the spokescouncil or at general meetings?" Editorial 
probably has a lot to say about this since (1) we have a relatively clear 
working group charter and process for getting certain things done and (2) 
there are also things within the editorial/tech continuum which get done 
more ad hoc--changing info on the sidebar has been an example.

I think this is on the agenda for the next general meeting, which I am not 
sure I'll be in town for. Maybe this group could kick some conversation 
about this onlist before then...
