Join the digital resitance

London Hacklabs Collective | 21.03.2006 17:31 | Culture | Free Spaces | Indymedia | Technology | London

You might have noticed the indymedia call out for more people to get actively involved in tech work. [ http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/03/336029.html |  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/03/335999.html]. This saturday there will be a good opportunity to meet up with some of the people involved in Indymedia and find out about some of the ways (both technical and non-technical), you could help out. It's also a fine chance to find out about the hacklab and support the digital resistance...

The rampART hacklab has recently subscribed to a super fast ADSL2 internet provider, 50 times faster than standard broadband. With the increased bandwidth the hacklab can now host websites, online media archives, reduce the load on other content providers via peer2peer, provide mirrors of online activist resources such as indymedia, and much much more.

/See/previous .hacklab report  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/03/335993.html

Of course we also have to find a way to pay for it (as well as the broadband connection the hacklabs collective pays for at Freedom Bookshop) and hence the benefit party on the 25th.

Digital Resistance live coverage

22.03.2006 00:16

rampART radio is relaunching after a being offline for several months due to bandwidth and connectivity issues on our community wifi network. Now that the building is equipped with ADSL2 we are kicking the radio back into life.

so, this week we'll be knocking out a few test streams and hopefully be in a position by the weekend to provide a live coverage of the Hacklab event.

the stream will be  http://radio.indymedia.org:8000/rampART

If you can't make it to the event itself, perhaps you can check it out online!

Why is www.rampart.co.nr pointing here?

rampart.omxtra.net is down

The reason the rampART URL (rampart.co.nr) is currently pointing here is because the web hosts have shut down the site due to load issues and since the address was being publicised on Resonance FM yesterday we quickly redirected it here so that people didn't get a 404 not found error when trying to find details of the weekends event.

Everything should be back to normal soon ;-)
