Re: [FSFE-Manc] [FM Discuss] Looking for writers on open video

HI Morag, nice to meet you! Amble Jam is in the early stages of development. It is a day out in the countryside for nerdy folk. We will follow a local authority planed walk, like the wizard walk at Alderly Edge, take photos with GPS stamps, make digital art inspired by things we see, Open Street Map it, etc etc. We are also hoping to get the fantasy and science fiction writers from Madlab along to write poems and short works based on places on the walk and then will put the whole lot into a creative commons ebook, so people can download the book, follow the route and stop to read or enjoy artwork on their tablets as they go! Such fun! Tell us about your loitering with intent gig :) Best Anna On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 5:18 PM, morag rose <morangopop(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dunno what "amble jam" is but it made me smile! > M x > > > On 19 March 2013 16:49, Mick Fuzz <mickfuzz(a)clearerchannel.org> wrote: >> >> Hi Anna, >> >> On 19/03/13 16:44, Anna Morris wrote: >> > amble jam :) >> you definitely should hook up with Morag at LRM >> http://nowhere-fest.blogspot.co.uk/ >> hi morag! >> >> I've cced her in case you want to explain 'amble jam' to her. >> >> nice one >> Mick >> >> >> -- >> ----------------------- >> Mick Chesterman >> @mickfuzz - mick(a)flossmanuals.net - +44 (0)7913882193 >> FLOSS Manuals - www.flossmanuals.net >> FLOSS Manuals Foundation - www.flossmanuals.org >> > -- www.ethical-pets.co.uk - The pet shop thats all sorts of ethical!

To: org-manchester(a)lists.openrightsgroup.org Hi all, If you are planning on coming to ORGCon North - today is a great day to book your ticket! There's a special offer that should have gone to your emails giving discounted tickets today, via a promotional code valid until tomorrow morning. Just use ORGCN213 and you can get £2 off tickets today: orgconorth.eventbrite.com Please do pass the word on & tell your friends about it. Even if you can't make it, the Manchester Con is aimed at getting new people interested in internet freedom issues.

We've got lots of experts attending and the joy of unconference is that people can form a discussion out of any issue they want to learn more about or are concerned by. Plus, we just got Loz Kaye from the Pirate Party confirmed today & there's still more people to come. Let me know if you have any ideas for the event!

[FSFE-Manc] Amble Jam - Mapping
by D.Bolton U0970268 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Sorry for delay in getting back with my mapping inquiries. I've been a bit preoccupied with other stuff - like installing 64bit Mint on this nifty HP laptop I bought from schtrade ;-) Anyway, I quizzed Andy, the chap on OSM about various things - and got a very helpful and comprehensive reply. However, I do need to dig a bit more regarding smartphone apps, for recording wayponts for subsequent logging of all the other things that people might do that are to be linked to that location (photographic, audio, video, literary, etc). Interestingly, there is also a linked site called OpenStreetView http://openstreetview.org/ which hasn't really taken off - and you might be able to understand why when you see some of the initial efforts (close-up photographs of stiles and signposts is no use to anyone). I think the site could have possibilities - but only if it was treated more as a kind of artform rather than a repository for crap photos. David [”THE]

[FSFE-Manc] Travel and Accommodation Help, Manchester Conference?
by Alexander Stephen Thomas Ross 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi. I'm hoping to go (and help pending reply.) to the OpenRightsGroup Conference on April 13th. I will be travelling up from Buckinghamshire. I was planning to stay one night before and after the conference due to travel times. Before I book any accomodation, I was checking if anyone had any suggestions, or offers of a floor for my sleeping bag. I would be planning to journey by coach, but would be happy to share petrol costs if anyone is travelling up the M40 or M1. I am 18 years old, self taught, and keen on free rights issues. Alexander

[FSFE-Manc] Amble Jam - more ideas
by Anna F J Morris 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Tomorrow I will spend some time working on wiki and making an amble-jam section. I had a great idea though - I was thinking we could invite people from the scifi and fantasy writing groups at madlab to come, and write some short pieces and poems inspired by places on the walk. The idea would be that we could pool the map data, photos and poems to make a CC-licenced ebook. This would be great for the Wizard Walk! I once did a group walk where at stopping points one person in the group would read a poem or folk story from a book we had. It was really fun and inspiring. What do you think? How are you getting along with the OSM stuff @david? Did anyone get back to you? We need to test out any gps apps and things before we do a proper walk. I'm so excited about this!

Libre Office 4 is now available for download: Read... http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2013/02/07/the-document-foundation-annou… ...for details. My personal favourite is: "First release of Impress Remote Control App for Android, supported only on some Linux distributions. (The second release, coming soon, will be supported on all platforms: Windows, MacOS X and all Linux distros and binaries.)" ;) M
