Interviews At UK Indymedia Network Meeting

Notts Indymedia Audio Crew | 14.02.2008 21:22 | Indymedia

On Saturday and Sunday, Nottingham hosted a national gathering of the UK Indymedia network, bringing together around 40 people from as far afield as Scotland and Bristol.

A whole host of issues were discussed, such as the future of Indymedia, developments on the startpage and calendar, and aspects of moderating the site. A range of viewpoints on the role of Indymedia were expressed, and a number of proposals to take the project forward will be implemented as a result of the gathering.

Here are some interviews with participants at the gathering, from various other local Indymedia collectives..

STOP interfering with the 'free' newswire and comments. In other words STOP removing posts and comments please you sad little egosing prats.

ALSO, remove the little dancing red stars on the website - as someone said at last years anarchist conference/party at Rampart - "it would be like the Torys using the Nazi swasika." Didn't like that did you leftist scum. You have no respect idiots!

FUK YOU

OK this is now reaching pathetic proportions.

Two of these so called interviews are with people who were not even there and almost the entire debate on the Atzmon issue has been cut out. The : web site has already published more than this since Tuesday.

Disinformation

15.02.2008 08:57

The comment by "was there" is untrue. All of those interviewed were at the network meeting, and anyone who was at the meeting would raise concerns on the features list until such time as the new moderation list is up and running.

A number of untrue posts about the meeting have been hidden.

Contact the features list if you have any questions.

Disinformation ? I don\'t think so

Yeah good try Roy but \"deedah - our survey said - WRONG !\"

As phunkee is currently blocking all Features Lists posts that cover this balls up and you are running all over the site editing and removing posts and comments as fast as your little fingers will let you we are not seeing any of the howls of protest are we now ?

Perhaps your time would be better spent looking after your daughter right now don\'t you think rather than this. She certainly needs you after recent events while Indymedia does not.

What gives?

None of sounds works on my computer. Just blank. No mp3 starts, nor ogg, Is there sabotage at the sending end, have I had a virus in an email that prevents reception. Can the sound be transformed to text? Is Notts Windows based? Will I have to change to Microsoft to hear what has been said?

Works fine here..

Hi Ilyan, I just downloaded all the files and they played fine for me. Just asked a mate of mine and he said all ok his end too. If you weren't already, you could try using VLC media player, it plays everything ;-)

Technical problems - more details please Ilyan?

16.02.2008 11:38

Hi there Ilyan. I'm the person who made the above files.

I was wondering if you could give a few more details such as what type of computer system you are running on (Linux, presumably - same here), what audio system you are using (ALSA, OSS, Jack, Arts etc?), what player application, and also what audio hardware you are using. Versions of those things too, if possible, so I can look into any bugs.

It's possible (though I think pretty unlikely) that if you have a high-end audio card, it may not like the lower sample rate of these files. I encountered something like that once on Linux, but it was a while ago and wasn't a show-stopper - I just needed a different playback program.

Maybe that your player doesn't like variable bitrate files? Or maybe something doesn't work with mono files? (I vaguely remember something like that too, a while back.)

I'm assuming all other aspects of your system relevant to this are known to be working, and that other MP3 files play OK?

The files above work fine here on Amarok and MP3Blaster (console based) using ALSA on Gentoo Linux, but I'm sure should would work just fine in VLC too. The MP3s should also work fine on almost any hardware MP3 player as far as I know.

Notts IMC Windows-based? Hardly! ;-)

I run Ubuntu, regularly updated, on an Athlon with one GB of memory and a SATA hard drive. finding Firefox/Thunderbird very flakey, I switched to Opera which is a bit better. I suspect that I need to reload the Ubuntu, have not done so as there are weird things in permissions that prevent me doing a backup to DVD. Probably my lack of jargon understanding. That will take time. I have not been able to get flash to work.

I can happily play the Bougainville video on a CD, see the pictures and hear the fascinating music, and the one on West Papua. Clicking on an ordinary mp3 on a CD automatically brings it up in Sound together with a fancy swirly screen display. Perhaps the system I have in Ubuntu is overdoing things.

Audio system is just what comes out through my Targa Visionary screen. I have just tried an mp3 and it has come up through Totem 2.20.0 Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.14 and GNOME.
