WEF- Palestine Alternative Media conversation: 14 Oct 2010

 [8:01:14 AM] Rita Freire: Hi Chris
[8:09:11 AM] Rita Freire: Hi Chris, can we talk by writing? I don't have micro
here
[8:10:39 AM] Chris Williams: Hi Rita Yes, is OK?
[8:11:15 AM] Rita Freire: Ok,
[8:11:51 AM] Rita Freire: Are you organizing an activity for Palestine or a
remote one?
[8:12:22 AM] Chris Williams: I was speaking to Intesar in Ramallah, but she is
gone now ... to sleep
[8:12:48 AM] Chris Williams: Yes, a remote activity
[8:13:13 AM] Rita Freire: Did you find a solution for connection?
[8:14:00 AM] Chris Williams: Yes.  We will Skype with TCC. Possibly stream
with ustream or Mallory
[8:14:34 AM] Rita Freire: Ok, great!
[8:15:04 AM] Chris Williams: I spoke to Pierre 2 hours ago
[8:16:43 AM] Rita Freire: Chris, have you any contact with an alternative
media in Adelaide, wich could join us covering the activity? Exchanging
contents? Something like this?
[8:18:29 AM] Chris Williams: Not alternative.  I can find alterative media in
Australia.  But, also, our University can do 'independent' media ...
alternative?
[8:18:48 AM] Rita Freire: Yes
[8:19:24 AM] Rita Freire: covering and exchanging
[8:19:29 AM] Chris Williams: We have many campuses, and regularly connect
between using internet
[8:21:06 AM] Rita Freire: You could check who could coordinate with us. For
now and for after, covering the WSF process
[8:22:13 AM] Chris Williams: Yes, I will do that.  I will start with
alternative media, then look at campus media.  OK?
[8:23:52 AM] Rita Freire: Ok. And people wanting to be part on the BDS campagn
are wellcome
[8:25:42 AM] Chris Williams: We have EAPPI on campus.  Also, Bek is in Yanoun,
West Bank until 19 October.  Yanoun has 120 people, near Ramallah
[8:26:00 AM] Rita Freire: Interesting
[8:28:12 AM] Chris Williams: Bek says a new EAPPI team is being prepared in
Jerusalem, and will relieve her after 19th.  I am trying to get details of the
new team.  Bek is a BDS organiser for National Churches of Australia
[8:28:57 AM] Rita Freire: Only good news...
[8:29:24 AM] Chris Williams: ... that's all I have.
[8:30:45 AM] Rita Freire: Tell us what "name" of media initiative we can list
for media maraton on BDS, and what weblink
[8:32:02 AM] Rita Freire: You define what you understand by activist media -
if one or more websites
[8:32:13 AM] Chris Williams: ‘Connecting across the gap/s’?
[8:32:20 AM] Rita Freire: And let us know
[8:33:24 AM] Chris Williams: I will search, and think, and let you know what I
learn
[8:33:53 AM] Rita Freire: I am not asking what you think, it is not an
interrogatory
[8:34:40 AM] Chris Williams: oops.  OK.  Activist media across many sites?
[8:35:26 AM] Rita Freire: Just the media's name to include with our media
[8:36:04 AM] Chris Williams: OK.  Not now, but soon
[8:36:40 AM] Rita Freire: The page's of eventual coverage
[8:37:10 AM] Rita Freire: Ok, when you can
[8:37:31 AM] Rita Freire: It will be great to be connected with Adelaide
initiatives
[8:38:15 AM] Rita Freire: And thank you for calling.
[8:38:36 AM] Rita Freire: I have a meeting now, in few minutes
[8:39:13 AM] Chris Williams: It is great for Adelaide to finally join WSF
activities, after Melbourne, Nairobi 2008, Osaka 2010, Istanbul 2010.  
[8:39:56 AM] Rita Freire: Yes, I mean between communication initiatives
[8:41:53 AM] Rita Freire: And about these Forums you list, We really need more
records from them. We have a lot of possibilities to exchange
[8:42:17 AM] Rita Freire: What time is it in Adelaide?
[8:43:55 AM] Chris Williams: I understand the history project, and will
forward Skype record to fsm. 8:40am, ready for Thursday work.  I think Sao
Paolo is after 7pm ... yesterday
[8:45:23 AM] Rita Freire: Yes,  my meeting is about to start. People are
