NETWORKS AND COMMUNITY : feb 22, 1994
|
|
Networks and Community is devoted to encouraging
|
|
LOCAL resource creation & GLOBAL resource sharing.
|
|
The 9th report of 1994 is the 15th weekly survey.
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
coverage in this special issue included an extensive 4part list of
|
|
resources for those interested in community networking.
|
|
|
|
part 1: GENERAL CIVIC NETWORKING AND RELATED ISSUES
|
|
DISCUSSION AND ONGOING ASSISTANCE RESOURCES
|
|
part 2: DISCUSSION AND WORK LISTS FOR INDIVIDUAL CIVIC NETWORKS
|
|
or REGIONAL AND NATIONAL PUBLIC NETWORK EFFORTS
|
|
part 3: TOOLS FOR DEVELOPING COMMUNITY FACILITIES
|
|
part 4: CURRENT INFORMATION SOURCES
|
|
part 5: ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN COMMUNITY NETWORKING
|
|
AND RELATED ISSUES
|
|
|
|
The regular issue will appear tomorrow. It has been delayed by my
|
|
deleting of all my files last friday. Some days it just doesn't pay...

NETWORKS & COMMUNITY
|
|
version: 2.0
|
|
frequency: occasional
|
|
Date: February 22, 1994
|
|
Compiler: Sam Sternberg samsam@vm1.yorku.ca
|
|
keywords: community, freenet, free-net, privacy, funding,
|
|
legislation access, technology
|
|
audience: network developers, community activists, free-net
|
|
organizers, fundraisers, social policy analysts.
|
|
|
|
I am including a list of major sources of information about
|
|
community access systems such as free-nets and issues which effect
|
|
them. It is a good guide to historical repositories of information,
|
|
ongoing debate and discussion, and useful tools for those
|
|
attempting to open or run a community computing facility.
|
|
To simplify the job of finding these resources I will point you
|
|
to a collection of resources rather than a source whenever that's
|
|
possible. I am grateful for the previous work in gathering a
|
|
resource lists by Sherri Steele and Stanton McCandlish
|
|
<mech@eff.org> at EFF and by Art "Rambo" McGee. I have made very
|
|
extensive use of their lists in compiling this one.

|
The National Public Telecomputing Network exists to make free

public access to computerized communications and information
|
|
services a reality; to help people in cities throughout the U.S.

systems (Free-Nets); to link those systems together into a common
|
|
network similar to National Public Radio or PBS on TV; to help

supplement what the local systems are able to produce.

The Institute for Global Communications (IGC) provides computer
|
|
networking tools for international communications and information
|
|
exchange. The IGC Networks -- PeaceNet, EcoNet, ConflictNet and
|
|
LaborNet -- comprise the world's only computer communications
|
|
system dedicated solely to environmental preservation, peace,
|
|
and human rights. New technologies are helping these worldwide
|
|
communities cooperate more effectively and efficiently. IGC
|
|
maintains a major program to develop low-cost access
|
|
to computer networking from outside the United States, especially
|
|
in non-industrialized areas. This program is the Association of
|
|
Progressive Communications (APC) which now includes low-cost
|
|
computer networks in several countries.

TEXAS ) AUSTIN
|
|
EFF-Austin was formed to protect constitutional guarantees of free
|
|
speech and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure for
|
|
users of computer networks. Experience has taught us that theseT
|
|
h) T
|
|
freedoms must be fought for if they are to survive in the online
|
|
world. EFF-Austin was created as an experimental local chapter of
|
|
the national EFF but became independent in 1993 while retaining
|
|
contacts with the parent organization. We're heavily involved
|
|
in public speaking, education, and advocacy of constitutional
|
|
rights in cyberspace. "We're Austin's forum for discussion of all
|
|
concerns related to the cutting edge where society meets
|
|
technology."
