fused with Indymedia, the global activist network. These are the folks who run around the anti-G8 riots webcasting from their backpacks. The network is global but particularly strong in Italy.
Indymedia activist geeks have been instrumental in producling high quality open source software for text, audio and video communication. Classic example of which is Dynebolic (a GNU/Linux based live bootable CD-RW - a multimedia studio out of the box).
No nanobats as yet but they do piss people off...

Subject [uts_leftactivists] Sandon point embo burned
Hi All,
At 4am this morning two men were seen running from the Sandon Point Aboriginal Tent Embassy as the structure exploded in flames. There were FIVE people asleep in the embassy at the time, and luckily they all managed to escape the flames unharmed.
The embassy - and all possessions it contained - was totally destroyed. I will provide more details when they come to hand...

This makes me so upset... The embassy is there
to fight a housing development that is planned to be put on
a coastal wetland inbetween here and Wollongong.
Where are the terrorist obsessed media now?
I just don't get how fucken fucked people can be.
PEACE
PATTY, uts
