Occupy San Luis Obispo, CA — OccupySLO

lol...because I've got better things to do?

You have some good things to say...you just need to work on your approach with people and realize we're all different. What good is truth or wisdom if it isn't effectively communicated?

Duffman was banned for 1 week (ironically, the ban ends at midnight) for abusive behavior/language to users...



Here's an excerpt (I replaced the profanity with faces, but it's still in the database ) :



He'll get another chance tomorrow, let's hope he can stay positive and constructive -- or at minimal, respectful....

This guide is meant to help people interested in the media distribution process, and is a work in progress. Media distribution can get pretty confusing considering the leaderless nature of the movement, the various messages and media platforms, etc...

As volunteers we have varying amounts of availability...so if there are people who can only stay focused on media tasks, we have to help them work efficiently. Otherwise, the boots on the street won't get the extra visibility that good media distribution can create. If people can volunteer to do all aspects...well...even better

Basically what Rotsenora posted is saying:

- We have 2 types of media to distribute
-- internal
-- external

- Also there are 2 types of media volunteers for occupySLO
-- Internal media/communications team: responsible for receiving (from This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) submissions for posting, and reviewing them (against some guidelines) prior to distributing to various media
-- Field media (aka photographers, observers, citizen journalists): plays a role in media by actively collecting photo/video/written accounts of events/writing articles. Should send data to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for "processing" (ie. make a story out of photos / events, proof-reading articles, etc.)

Posting to say I love the idea! I think each of the concerns could be addressed. If we get enough people interested, I'm hopeful we could manage getting the supplies, making it safe, clean, and legal...

I can create a dedicated group/category on the forum if more people are interested.

Also, testimony to:

Mike,

Not sure if you are confused, but "unincorporated association" is how we described our assembly in a previous statement... If it's a cause for concern, we could hear a proposal to change the wording ... Check it out on the "About" page
