Notes from 4/5/07 STLIMC Reboot

******Notes from 4/5/07 Meeting

DHTV offers training classes w/ multimedia production
- meld with Digger's ideas for journalism training, e.g. how to work on deadlines, how to find a story, how to frame a story
- mesh with pursuing crossover to other (e.g. non-print) media

Need to offer folks incentive to produce content
- peeps always want get paid
- although many like to do amateur journalism for free, one should still expect "a yeoman's wage for public service"

Music & Video
- encourage participation from arts community
- e.g. cover Shangri-La shows

Promoting an attitude of convergence
- many existing local groups limit their outreach and scope

Proposed 3-part framework for STLIMC
- the framework is simple enough to be viable
- problem of how to reach to folks not entirely in rad corners
- current outreach has been self-limited to old channels (e.g. indymedia listserves)

Where to go?
- Who is STLIMC? Need to reform the collective. I.e. who is acting body, who is voting?
- This must be in place B4 public meeting.

Tiers of Participation
1. Members, non-voting
2. Collective, extended clan, inactive coordinators (12+ ideally)
3. Active coordinators, each serve 4month term
- 2 editors

active coordinators can draw from folks in the extended clan for support on particular projects
