Michael,
 
Would you be up to posting our news about the upcoming Emerging Futures  
Network meet-up and Recent Changes Camp at IndyMedia and then sending  
me the URL so I get an idea of what you mean to post to their site?  I  
couldn’t figure it out from their main page.
 
Cheers,  Julie

Sorry, I wasnt as clear as I could have been.... I'll chalk it up to my  
health

  The original IndyMedia sites were early or pre-blog era ... and pushed  
the boundaries.

  A number of the IndyMedia sites are looking to similarly push their  
platforms to the next level of utility .... (that was the  
next-generation point - next generation for them)

  Their organization, is as you mention, very flat ... they are a  
network, and that is very intentional.  They are already next generaion  
in that regard :)


  So, now, we have to think what it means to partner with networks ...  
in some cases it just means individual actions... I post to the local  
indymedia sites when I get a chance ... and I recommend you all do the  
same.

Micheal,

 

I liked their mission statement:

 

Indymedia is a collective of independent media organizations and  
hundreds of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage.  
Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the creation of radical,  
accurate, and passionate tellings of truth.

 

Can you say more about them being a next generation application for  
this platform?  I assume you are thinking about a newswire platform,  
yes?

 

Summary from recent e-mails:

Michael suggested we look at this link:  
http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml

In response to us looking at a link about information centers:  
http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=113411   Which is a new way  
of turning your newspaper into an information center. 

We are looking at how we might develop Pravin's newswire idea – could  
it fit with Brandon's new wiki concept for an EFN newswire for/with/by  
EFN members. 

When following up on information centers this link, we were directed to  
talk with Jennifer Carroll at Gannett network:  
http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=113441

 

Cheers,  Julie
