Hi,
Andrew here. I worked with Tactical Tech for almost 3 years up until  
about 2 weeks ago as their "participatory media project lead". I did a  
presentation of some of their TT's projects at OurMedia in Sydney,  
mainly the FOSS based NGO-in-a-box series

http://base.ngoinabox.org
http://openpublishing.ngoinabox.org

We merged the multimedia aspects of these toolkits have and added a  
bunch of strategy guides to produce a new kit that was release just a  
few weeks ago called Message-in-a-box (it's all about boxes, don't ask  
me why :). You can find it here http://www.messageinabox.tacticaltech.org/

A DVD and handbook of the kit will be out soon.

Cheers.
And.
