(lo siento pero eso es solo en ingles. es sobre un otro sito de web con
el nombre "ourmedia")
Dear OurMedia/NuestrosMedios people,
I know some of you made contact last year with the people behind the
new Ourmedia project which is a free clearinghouse for personal audio
and video content. Now that their site is up and running (see below,
from another list), perhaps someone who knows the people involved, or
perhaps someone on the Steering Committee might want to contact these
people and ask for a link from their front page for people looking for
OurMedia/NuestrosMedios network. They do make a reference to it, buried
deep in their FAQ section, but I think that in the spirit of
solidarity, it would make sense for them to have a link to us, saying
something like "For a global network of activists and scholars
promoting grassroots media, see..." ???

[DDN] Ourmedia.org web site appears to be working well
Hi DDN community -
Last night I uploaded a 70 megabyte QuickTime file to Ourmedia.org,
and
today the file is available for the public to view. See
http://ourmedia.org/node/887
On your Ourmedia.org account, you might choose to list your DDN
proflie as your web site address -- even if you have another web
site. Do you see how that brings greater visibility to DDN?
Journalists looking to cover Ourmedia.org will be keeping an eye
out
for interesting files uploaded in the first month or two. If you
have existing files to upload -- or are finishing work on a video or
multimedia project, this is a good time to be uploading it. In
describing the file with the accompanying text, describe it in a way
that's a little off-beat or unusual. Ourmedia.org is such an
exciting commons, it's best not to describe your uploads in a
humdrum way.
If you need some help in describing a file you want to upload,
there
are folks here on the DDN site (me included) who are happy to offer
assistance in the best way to describe your file. If you'd like some
ideas on how to describe your file on Ourmedia.org, feel free to
send me your file using http://yousendit.com (a free service for
sending large files.) Please do not send me your file as a file
attachment.
Together, we have the ability to create an impression such that
someone will conclude, "You know, some of the most interesting
files uploaded to Ourmedia.org come from those folks on the
Digital Divide Network. There must be something very interesting
going on in that community."
