We're pleased to announce that the Autumn edition of HacktionLab tech gathering will be taking place in Bradford at the 1 in 12 Club sometime in October or November 2010 (exact dates to be confirmed).
If you're interested in coming and/or wish to get involved in the next HacktionLab or future gatherings get in touch via the mailing list.
Agenda ideas
Note: these are by no means fixed!! They are just what has been skimmed off various emails on the list.
- How to run a local activist radio station using free software: a workshop to cover a simple, low-cost audio set-up and streaming software, including using Icecast, Darkice, Ices2 and (the not so free) NiceCast. Recording and monitoring your streams using Ardour.
- Preliminary ideas and proposals for Summer 2011 BarnCamp(s).
- Anonymous blogging - tor and activist hosted websites
- Update on alternatives to Facebook - Crabgrass update and Diaspora - http://www.joindiaspora.com/2010/08/26/overdue-update.html
Invite social media people for this
- The aggregator update - using Indymedia UK as a working project for the aggregation story, the next part. It would be great to have a UI feedback session for this maybe or to get a feature spec rolling on it.
- Campcaster - Let's have a play about with this! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campcaster
Campcaster is a free and open source[1] radio management application for live broadcasting, remote broadcast automation (via web-based scheduler), and program exchange between radio stations.
Suggested timetable
This is a draft timetable. If you don't like it, change it! However, I thought it was better to have some kind of structure within which to work. A couple of points to note are that: workshops are 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes); they can take up two slots - with a break in the middle; and, there are lots of breaks! This is to allow for socialising, networking, and over-running workshops!
