I am Andreas Kde. A warm welcome to my first Crao Wiki page. I did this because of the Boundaries To Bridges tour.
Testarea for mails:
Hi!
Sorry for Babylon, my French is slow&bad and my Spanish nonexistent,
perhaps you can use 
http://babelfish.altavista.com to have the
following translate into Korean, Russian or Vogonish.
- Camp-Tipsy.de
- Flyer-files
- Bridging the digital divide - worldcomputerexchange.org
- Earning money during the tour? Big Brother On Tour?...
- Wiki for individuals-without-vans and vans-with-free-beds
- Wiki Wiki is Hawaiian and means "fast, vite, schnell"
Camp-Tipsy.de
Even if it was not yet announced on this list, the
memenet.de Freak Frachter?
seems to be visiting the http://www.camp-tipsy.de/ near Berlin, Germany,
this weekend. Is that true?
I would take that opportunity to meet ALL ;-) of you in RL Real Life
for the first time - and then try to decide if I will actually
join that crazy promising tour.
Is anyone going to camp-tipsy from the Ruhrgebiet, Münster,
Bielefeld,... (or from further southwest driving the A1) and
can give me a lift on Friday and/or Sunday?
Flyer-files
People on this list asked about (printed) flyers.
On http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/Flyers there are Flyers,
which can be downloaded and printed in your local copy-shop.
Unfortunately only TIF (3MB for each side!).
Suggestion: There should be JPG-versions.
100% JPG-quality is 290 kB, 90% is 120 kB only.
If <100kB, it can be sent by eMail without complaints.
Bridging the digital divide - worldcomputerexchange.org
Is this interesting? Sounds like the digital version of SONED e.V.
"Bridging the global digital divide for our kids and for our future" German & French Versions!
- http://www.richardgingras.com Who holds a talk in Palo Alto,
which I got to know over some Stanford-computer-mailinglist:
July 31, 2003, 4:00pm, Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA, 650-812-4000 Someone in California tomorrow? ;-)
"For the last four years the World Computer Exchange has been building an organization to place used computers in schools in under-developed countries. The approach of the Exchange both aids in the education of youth in developing countries while extending the useful life of discarded PC's that would otherwise be added to landfills. Richard Gingras, a Silicon Valley veteran and active WCE board member, will discuss the efforts and challenges faced by the Exchange in addressing this complex but beneficial mission."
A quick glance on this presentation tells us facts:
(12/2002) WCE has shipped 4.847 computers worth $1.455.100 to 672 schools with 259,000 students.
e.g.: Morocco: 66 Peace Corps Volunteers connecting 40 schools with 5,760 students.
e.g. Senegal:
- nothing in Mauretania?
Earning money during the tour? Big Brother On Tour?
Earning money in Africa? I know that the primary answer is: "no". Or rather: "very difficult". But because I am totally broke, have to do one last study-exam and don't see many opportunities in the next weeks to earn much money, I am thinking about alternatives. Please let me tell you...
Of course, it will be difficult to sell any (things, knowledge,
consulting, webpages) to those people down there due to the lack
of money - but why not sell "canned adventure" to richer people
here "at home"? I am thinking about an embedded documentary project
which interviews participants, films locations, parties and locals
and which then directly cuts and produces e.g. radio programmes,
that can be sold to European radio stations. Once THEY understand
how interesting the whole project is and once they listen to the
first 30 ready minutes, they might be interested to order one
programme per month?
Of course, that will be a lot of work during the tour, but it might
be financing 1 or 2 people (or more?). Good Video-programmes are
an even more tedious job (you really should have worked on video
and Adobe Premiere before!) - but might yield some more money.
I have collected experience in the (noncommercial) video- and
still-picture project PointOfYOUsion on the Fusion2002
http://www.andreask.de/fusion2003/pics/PointOfYOUsion2002.jpg
and with (noncommercial) interviews on some festivals this summer.
It is a LOT of fun, an enriching experience! It is still totally
noncommercial because of my skrupels and the lack of ideas how to
live up to my responsibilty-ideology and earn money at the same time.
There are many important viewpoints in the movement that those consumers out there should hear about!
A dedicated webpage with a forum could be a discussion platform for listener feedback, so that the next programme in the series can be designed more appropriate, like: "I want to hear more interviews with Jens and Nickyx and less from Fabian" ;-) nix für ungut ;-)
So please tell me what you really think about this BtBBigBrother idea. For example: Probably we need a Btb Code Of Conduct? for integer and non-intrusive Btb Journalists?. What else?
Wiki for individuals-without-vans and vans-with-free-beds
Happily I read the communication between Jens and Nickyx. They seem to have found each other a Wohngemeinschaft ;-) There are more searchers around! I haven't logged into the indymedia TWiki yet
but probably it is also a good place to start a collection of names & numbers or even self-descriptions of those (like me) without a van and those with a van who are looking for "hitchhikers" during the tour. If there are many of the first sort, we should think about solutions.
Wiki Wiki is Hawaiian and means "fast, vite, schnell"
A short introductionary eMail how to use the TWiki system was promised somewhere on these lists ... but as far as I know Wiki Wiki's, one not even needs a long manual. 15 minutes sandbox is enough.
Let's enter the Btb Sand Box? to plan our trip through the Big Sandbox?.
ciao,
andreasK
P.S.: Why is this mail so exactly layoutet?
Because it is written in Wiki Markup Language.
Look at the MHT-Attachment. And then again at the mail. And suddenly you speak Wiki Markup Language...
