Independent Media Week April 19 - 25, 2009
$ $ INDEPENDENT MEDIA IS NON-COMMERCIAL $ $, 17-04-2009 - 21:35
Ashland, Oregon’s 5th annual Independent Media Week will showcase a coalition of independent media producers, local activists and community groups organized around the theme “A well-informed citizenry is a cornerstone of democracy.”
In April 2005, the City of Ashland officially proclaimed its first Independent Media Week during the time when local activists were encouraging Jefferson Public Radio to broadcast Amy Goodman's “Democracy Now!” Activists at the time were also working to launch KSKQ, our local low-power FM community radio station. The keynote speaker at the headline event in 2005 was Amy Goodman.
Every year since the City of Ashland has proclaimed a week in April to highlight independent media. This year at the April 7th council meeting the City of Ashland proclaimed April 19-25, 2009 “Independent Media Week.” This year's keynote speaker at the Friday, April 24 main event is Peter Phillips from "Project Censored" 
http://www.projectcensored.org
BTW, to update that 2005 campaign: Jefferson Public Radio refused to broadcast Democracy Now!, but it is heard daily on community radio KSKQ!

Indymedia and the Enclosure of the Internet
Yossarian (reposted by Adminteer), 10-11-2008 - 05:56
(The following has been reposted here by an Adminteer as the issues raised directly affect the rougeimc. Yossarian from London asks questions regarding software used by Indymedia sites as we are at a crossroads).
There has been controversy recently on the global imc-communication and imc-tech lists over the issue of a $200,000 grant application sent to the Knight Foundation by IMC Boston to do Drupal development work for Indymedia sites.
The grant application was blocked by IMC Rosario in Argentina. As a working technical volunteer who has been building a new Indymedia website for the past year or so, I think this whole debate has raised some interesting issues related to code, corporate monopolies, and the dilemmas faced by a humble developer who's trying to help start a revolution.

Love & Rage: An RNC Reportback
Noah Balloon, 06-10-2008 - 07:00
We agree to: a rejection of capitalism, imperialism, and the state; resist the commodification of our shared and living Earth; organize on the principles of decentralization, autonomy, sustainability, and mutual aid; work to end all relationships of domination and subjugation, including but not limited to those rooted in patriarchy, race, class, and homophobia; oppose the police and prison-industrial complex, and maintain solidarity with all targets of state repression; directly confront systems of oppression, and respect the need for a diversity of tactics. Our solidarity will be based on respect for a diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups. The actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space. Any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events. We oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance, infiltration, disruption and violence. We agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.

Army Turning Trash Into Energy
Army News Service, 21-06-2008 - 03:41
TGER is small enough to fit into a CONEX container, but powerful enough to power a standard 60-kilowatt generator. TGER works by turning the solid trash into fuel pellets which are fed into a down-draft gasifier. The gasifier then heats the pellets, and breaks them down into a synthetic gas composed of simple hydrocarbons that resembles low-grade propane. TGER processes the liquid and food waste into a hydrous ethanol which is blended with the syngas to create usable energy.

Santa Cruz Media Summit: Live this weekend Jan. 25-27

Update by Peter Phillips and David Kubiak
Many economists now doubt that government measures can prevent a
major recession given the severe slump in the housing market, the
subprime mortgage crisis, growing unemployment, declining consumer
spending, and record high oil prices. Even harder times for working
people are undoubtedly at hand, yet mainstream corporate media
continues to lavish more attention on the Super Bowl and celebrity
misadventures than measures to protect Americans from grave personal
economic harm. We are spun, mislead, propagandized and amused to
death by our media conglomerates and as a result the US has become
the best entertained and least informed society in the world.
