Hi Kate, In your last message you mention networked laptops in conference rooms, are these available in each room? I thought I'd read most rooms only had Macs? If this is the case will they be able to project powerpoint presentations stored on a memory stick?

RE: WiFi in Sussex

G'day ! On the WiFi issue, for future AoIR conferences it might be worth our while to ask the folks who organised ISEA2004 (www.isea2004.net) last month about their experience... That conference had full and open WiFi access to the Net for all delegates in all three conference sites - in Tallinn, Helsinki, and (most impressively) on a cruise ship between Stockholm and Tallinn. I _think_ they teamed up with local ISPs to make this possible. -- Dr Axel Bruns a.bruns(a)qut.edu.au - http://snurb.info/ Media & Communication Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove, Qld. 4059, Australia Creative Industries Faculty Z2-202, CIP - (07) 3864 5548 Queensland University of Technology CRICOS No.: 00213J

I would like to connect with any OII Alumni - form this year and last year. I know there are some of us going to the conference, but we should gather all Oxford Internet Doctoral Students together and have a beverage. If you are OII Alumni - send me an email (off list), and I will try and arrange a time and place for us to meet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tracy L.M.

internet access
by T Kennedy 16 Sep '04

I must have missed this when i chose rooms - otherwise I wouldn't have chosen the standard room. Does anyone know how many computers with internet are available in the 'computer pool room'? It will be interesting to see flocks of people try and use these computers. I guess there will be no session blogging for me this year :( or hardly any access period. Are there any other access points on the campus? or labs that we can gain access to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tracy L.M.

Re: [Air-l] WiFi in Succex?
by Kathleen O'Riordan 16 Sep '04

Dear Kathleen I've already bounced Lilia's email over to IT services to check this query. Its probably too late in the day to start setting up individual WiFi accounts but I can but ask! For the more general query - there is a computer pool room booked for AoIR delegates to use for the duration of the conference - and these workstations are online. In addition to this the ensuite rooms on campus have internet connection for those with their own laptops, you have to get a phone card but the instructions are in the rooms and phone cards are available on campus. The conference panel rooms all have networked laptops with internet connection as well. Brighton has a load of internet cafe's if you are staying in town and many hotels have internet connection too. I hope this answers your query and I'll get back to you if I have any good news from IT services - some one would have to have a gap in a job queue tomorrow to get this in time for the conference - and the IT services are setting up for the Autumn term so they are a bit pressured right now but if anyone can do anything I'll pass on the word. All the best Kate

WiFi in Succex?
by Kathleen O'Riordan 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Dear Lilia I'm sorry but no. I looked into this for the conference but the cost of getting guest ID's for this service was just too prohibitive for the conference budget. Definately one to take forward in future conferences though, could you flag it on AoIR-meet for next year? All the best Kate

Hey Matt-- thanks for the heads up. I'm teaching an intensive seminar this month, so I can't make it to Sussex-- and I'm especially bummed I'll miss this panel (last time it was so, ahem, explosive;-). Anyone else who is available (in any sense) should definitely experience it...

Man, when the government sets it mind to it, it sure can make trouble! As it turns out, the so-called "munitions" they were concerned about are of a Class H variety, which haven't been subject to Code 12 regulation for years, and apparently MI5 hasn't gotten around to reconsidering them in these heightened conditions. Thanks to Felicia for all the help on that end.

David, I have to say that this project was/is both impressive and important. Mobilizing people to rally around such a significant event is not an easy proposition. Kudos to your passion and hard work on this project. The video kiosk reminds me of 'Speaker's Corner' in downtown Toronto, where you can pay a couple of dollars to record your thoughts on the local City-TV - which they edit/air on the weekends. I guess my feeling is that it's events like this that help breathe 'our' voice back into our communities. I look forward to engaging discussions about this event on AOIR. Steve -----Original Message----- From: air-l-aoir.org-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of david silver Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 3:30 PM To: cultstud-l(a)mailman.acomp.usf.edu Cc: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-l] saturday, september 11, 2004 The September Project (09.11.2004) http://www.theseptemberproject.org On Saturday, September 11, free and public events about democracy, citizenship, and patriotism took place. To the best of our knowledge, 469 events took place in all 50 states. Outside the US, events took place in 8 countries: Australia, Cuba, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, and Venezuela. Living in Seattle, I had the opportunity to attend 55 events spread throughout the Puget Sound area. All of the events were free. All but two events -- at the King County Jail Library and at the King County Regional Justice Center Detention Library -- were open to the public. I wanted to attend all of the events but a day is short so I selected two: the Ballard Public Library (my neighborhood) and the Central Library downtown. Both events were inspired and beautiful. At the Ballard Public Library, librarian Ellen Fitzgerald organized an excellent event. About 75 people attended a talk by Ian Spiers, a college student whose photographs of a popular Seattle landmark led to visits from police officers and officials from the Department of Homeland Security (http://brownequalsterrorist.com/) followed by comments by Doug Honig, Communications Director of ACLU-Washington. Few were silent during the Q & A period and the discussion covered issues of security, racism, civil liberties, and justice. 75 community members discussing issues that matter in a public space: it was as if we were all part of an unironic and uncynical Norman Rockwell painting. The event finished with folks talking about how we can continue to have events like these. At the Central Library, Andra Addison, Chris Higashi, Amy Twito, and Kristin Zavorska organized a diverse set of events, including two film screenings of the film "Poetry in Wartime," a facilitated discussion about the film, poetry and creative writing workshops, and information booths featuring local organizations and non-profits. The event also included a video kiosk (designed by The September Project's John Klockner) which allowed participants to record their personal thoughts and reactions to the day. It was great to see kids, young adults, and adults record their thoughts throughout the day. Outside the library were four blank murals. This was a very large project, involving many, and organized primarily by Irina Gendelman, Giorgia Aiello, and Tema Milstein, three graduate students at the University of Washington. Each mural had a different theme and color -- America (red), patriotism (white), war and peace (blue), and 9/11 (black). As the day went on, people (some library patrons, some who were there for September Project events, and some directly from the streets) observed the murals, talked about them, and added an image, a word, a sentence. It was quite beautiful. Every community should have community murals! For images of the process and product, see: http://students.washington.edu/giorgia/photo_mural/ http://students.washington.edu/irinag/murals/91104/ I find a ton of hope in individuals and collectives that are working hard to make our communities, our countries, and our globe a better place. Here's to LIBRARIANS, who, despite budget cuts, despite pay cuts, and despite the Patriot Act which compromises their very job description, work hard and creatively to heal our communities. Here's to ARTISTS and ACTIVISTS who have always and will always tackle the kinds of issues we are encouraged to be silent about. And here's to YOUTH -- the hopeful, the unjaded, the uncynical, the not-yet burned out. It is difficult to find someone, anyone, who is happy with the directions our communities, our countries, and our globe are taking. I'd like to end by thanking all of you, from all of us, for succeeding -- with grace, with inspiration, and with belief that it can and must be done -- in working to change those directions. Here's to libraries. Here's to public culture. Here's to free culture. Here's to dialogue, discussion, and dissent on topics that demand attention. Here's to the people. david silver _______________________________________________ Air-l-aoir.org mailing list Air-l-aoir.org(a)listserv.aoir.org http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
