On: SAT 23rd FEB 2008 REAL LIFE VENUE: TRINITY, Old Market, BRISTOL SECOND LIFE VENUE: Prados Azules TIME: 8pm till late The Bristol based Xtreamlab partnership will use Multiple cameras to capture the D.R.O.I.D event from different perspectives. The stream will then be edited live and streamed live to the world. Before the signal from Trinity hits the internet, it will first bounce around one one the largest free to access wireless networks in the country. The video stream will then be broadcast live on the net to a digital audience in Second Life, a live audience in Barcelona, and Worldwide. The project breaks new ground in several ways; * First time that a community owned wireless network has been used for production-level digital performance. * First time that a Second Life / Real Life clubbing experience of this nature has ever been created. * First time that DJ's have played live to a Bristol audience from another country, via a on-line video stream. The club event D.R.O.I.D; will be big and heavy. An extraordinary occasion featuring a stellar cast of 21st century dance music from top draw live guests, DJs and some virtual avatar stars. - Luke Vibert: (Warp / Rephlex) - Various Production dj (Deep dub / Spooky beats / Dubstep) - Bass Clef (Dub / 2-step / Electronica) - Vexkiddy (Experimental / Acoustic / Electronic) D.R.O.I.D is an event to challenge our reality, what we perceive to be the here and now and what we think of as the future-distant. D.R.O.I.D will take place simultaneously in the digitised world of Second Life, and as a consequence of this, across the known world. At the Trinity huge suspended, back-projected screens will show the audience the virtual world of Second Life. The aim is for the two audiences, the physical and the digital, to come together, meet each other, interact, know each other. How many technophobes out there have never spoken to their virtual brothers and sisters? How many of the new wired generation have never left the confines of their virtual reality interfaces to interact with the rest of us? Greater understanding is what we seek, together we shall stand, shoulder to digitised shoulder.

Second Life came to international attention in mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007. A downloadable program enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars (virtual persona's) Second Life is so cutting-edge it defies genre classification. It is a game, a tool, a playground, a nation, and nearly everything in it is built by its residents. There have been several successful on-line concerts, these have involved the performers creating 'avatars' to represent themselves. What we plan to do is different in that we plan to stream real images from live venues into this emerging virtual space. http://secondlife.com/whatis/ ==XtreamLab== XtreamLab have been funded under the South West Screen Convergence alliance scheme. The XtreamLab partnership provides an on-location video production and live web-casting service that combines technical expertise with a creative focus. This enables the live transmission of streams directly from events, offering viewers the opportunity to experience genuine online television. http://xtreamlab.net The XtreamLab production team is comprised of: Bristol Wireless is a free software and sustainable computing project born out of the desire to build a high-speed local wireless network. The first stage of the community network was established in June 2002 and has since grown significantly to become the largest open access wireless network in the UK. http://www.bristolwireless.net Psand is a provider of internet services with considerable focus on the streaming of audio and video content. Psand has many years experience of bringing communications and information technology to the environ of live events. http://www.psand.net Qu Junktions is a bespoke music event, promotion and tour adventure specialist eminating from participation of artists from The Cube Microplex in Bristol. They are heavily involved with the production of Bristol's very own avant-garde VENN music festival. http://www.qujunktions.com Micro-film provide video and animation services for delivery over different new media platforms. There specialist area is in the production of film made specifically for hand held and mobile devices and the creation of web-based interfaces for easy access. http://www.micro-film.org/ Project website; http://xtreamlab.net/droid/ ==The Acts== LUKE VIBERT is the ultimate UK dancefloor chameleon, ceaselessly morphing identities from his own name (billowing acid house and breakbeat) into Wagon Christ (kitchen sink cartoon-hop), Plug (quirky drum 'n' bass), Amen Andrews (junglist tear-out), Spac Hand Luke (grimey goodness), and Kerrier District (glitterball disco/house) As a DJ he goes wherever the mood takes him, and the floor will always follow: multidimensional, freerange fucked-up grooves from the original Cornish king. http://www.warprecords.com/lukevibert/ VARIOUS PRODUCTION DJs are a shadowy collective of sublimely different futurists. Their unique sound - noir-ish vocals over mangled grime, deep dub and spooky beats - seems to refract the "Bristol sound" of Portishead or Massive Attack through a hall of mirrors and update it for the 21st century. One of the most thrilling electronic crossover/under outfits to have emerged in years, they sit alone with Burial in taking rough-edged dubstep sonics overground by marrying them with a sweet vocal sensibility. http://www.various.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/various BASS CLEF live is a blast. With live trombone and pirate flags, he bypasses laptop/looping and embraces a primitive and banging dance experience. A rogue operator of the bottom end kind. His live show is a heady combination of heavy bass, dirty high end and killer melodies. Kinda like 'Rahsaan Roland Kirk' jamming with 'Iration Steppas' on a full moon. http://www.myspace.com/bassclefbass http://bass-clef.blogspot.com/ VEXKIDDY are a show and a half. They bang up the place with messed up dance music via Victorian time travel mixed with an acid house sideshow. Cuthbert & Strangeways, two serious 'scientists' from the Victorian era, go in search of Vexkiddy, an interstellar being who has wrought havoc with the time flux polyphase generator that their assistant 'Trainee' was using.... 'Trainee' is still lost in future-time... will they ever reach him? http://www.vexkiddy.com/ http://www.myspace.com/therhomworkshop --------------------------------------------- This email message was delivered by Psand.net From ben at bristolwireless.net Sat Feb 9 05:12:59 2008 From: ben at bristolwireless.net (Ben Green) Date: Wed Aug 27 22:18:12 2008 Subject: BW )(: D.R.O.I.D - Only 2 weeks to go!

The stream will then be edited live and streamed live to the world. Before the signal from Trinity hits the internet, it will first bounce around one one the largest free to access wireless networks in the country. The video stream will then be broadcast live on the net to a digital audience in Second Life, a live audience in Barcelona, and Worldwide. The project breaks new ground in several ways; * First time that a community owned wireless network has been used for production-level digital performance. * First time that a Second Life / Real Life clubbing experience of this nature has ever been created. * First time that DJ's have played live to a Bristol audience from another country, via a on-line video stream. The club event D.R.O.I.D; will be big and heavy. An extraordinary occasion featuring a stellar cast of 21st century dance music from top draw live guests, DJs and some virtual avatar stars. - Luke Vibert: (Warp / Rephlex) - Various Production dj (Deep dub / Spooky beats / Dubstep) - Bass Clef (Dub / 2-step / Electronica) - Vexkiddy (Experimental / Acoustic / Electronic) D.R.O.I.D is an event to challenge our reality, what we perceive to be the here and now and what we think of as the future-distant. D.R.O.I.D will take place simultaneously in the digitised world of Second Life, and as a consequence of this, across the known world. At the Trinity huge suspended, back-projected screens will show the audience the virtual world of Second Life. The aim is for the two audiences, the physical and the digital, to come together, meet each other, interact, know each other. How many technophobes out there have never spoken to their virtual brothers and sisters? How many of the new wired generation have never left the confines of their virtual reality interfaces to interact with the rest of us? Greater understanding is what we seek, together we shall stand, shoulder to digitised shoulder.

Second Life came to international attention in mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007. A downloadable program enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars (virtual persona's) Second Life is so cutting-edge it defies genre classification. It is a game, a tool, a playground, a nation, and nearly everything in it is built by its residents. There have been several successful on-line concerts, these have involved the performers creating 'avatars' to represent themselves. What we plan to do is different in that we plan to stream real images from live venues into this emerging virtual space. http://secondlife.com/whatis/ ==XtreamLab== XtreamLab have been funded under the South West Screen Convergence alliance scheme. The XtreamLab partnership provides an on-location video production and live web-casting service that combines technical expertise with a creative focus. This enables the live transmission of streams directly from events, offering viewers the opportunity to experience genuine online television. http://xtreamlab.net The XtreamLab production team is comprised of: Bristol Wireless is a free software and sustainable computing project born out of the desire to build a high-speed local wireless network. The first stage of the community network was established in June 2002 and has since grown significantly to become the largest open access wireless network in the UK. http://www.bristolwireless.net Psand is a provider of internet services with considerable focus on the streaming of audio and video content. Psand has many years experience of bringing communications and information technology to the environ of live events. http://www.psand.net Qu Junktions is a bespoke music event, promotion and tour adventure specialist eminating from participation of artists from The Cube Microplex in Bristol.

There specialist area is in the production of film made specifically for hand held and mobile devices and the creation of web-based interfaces for easy access. http://www.micro-film.org/ Project website; http://xtreamlab.net/droid/ ==The Acts== LUKE VIBERT is the ultimate UK dancefloor chameleon, ceaselessly morphing identities from his own name (billowing acid house and breakbeat) into Wagon Christ (kitchen sink cartoon-hop), Plug (quirky drum 'n' bass), Amen Andrews (junglist tear-out), Spac Hand Luke (grimey goodness), and Kerrier District (glitterball disco/house) As a DJ he goes wherever the mood takes him, and the floor will always follow: multidimensional, freerange fucked-up grooves from the original Cornish king. http://www.warprecords.com/lukevibert/ VARIOUS PRODUCTION DJs are a shadowy collective of sublimely different futurists. Their unique sound - noir-ish vocals over mangled grime, deep dub and spooky beats - seems to refract the "Bristol sound" of Portishead or Massive Attack through a hall of mirrors and update it for the 21st century. One of the most thrilling electronic crossover/under outfits to have emerged in years, they sit alone with Burial in taking rough-edged dubstep sonics overground by marrying them with a sweet vocal sensibility. http://www.various.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/various BASS CLEF live is a blast. With live trombone and pirate flags, he bypasses laptop/looping and embraces a primitive and banging dance experience. A rogue operator of the bottom end kind. His live show is a heady combination of heavy bass, dirty high end and killer melodies. Kinda like 'Rahsaan Roland Kirk' jamming with 'Iration Steppas' on a full moon. http://www.myspace.com/bassclefbass http://bass-clef.blogspot.com/ VEXKIDDY are a show and a half. They bang up the place with messed up dance music via Victorian time travel mixed with an acid house sideshow. Cuthbert & Strangeways, two serious 'scientists' from the Victorian era, go in search of Vexkiddy, an interstellar being who has wrought havoc with the time flux polyphase generator that their assistant 'Trainee' was using.... 'Trainee' is still lost in future-time... will they ever reach him? http://www.vexkiddy.com/ http://www.myspace.com/therhomworkshop --------------------------------------------- This email message was delivered by Psand.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We're going to find out. In London between 4th-6th April 2008, Social Innovation Camp will bring together some of the best of the UK and Europe's web developers and designers with people at the sharp end of social problems. Our aim is find ways that easy-to-build web 2.0 tools can be used to develop solutions to social challenges." -- [dr. dan mcquillan | www.internetartizans.co.uk] _________________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: ukriders@lists.lasa.org.uk To be removed from the list, send any message to: ukriders-unsubscribe@lists.lasa.org.uk For all list information, etiquette and functions, including changing your subscription mode and options, visit the Web page: http://lists.lasa.org.uk/lists/info/ukriders --------------------------------------------------------- This list is hosted at NPOGroups.org, a service of Electric Embers: Internet hosting services for the community http://electricembers.net From mbh at psand.net Tue Feb 19 03:26:59 2008 From: mbh at psand.net (Mike Harris) Date: Wed Aug 27 22:18:12 2008 Subject: BW )(: dorkbot cancelled Message-ID: <47BABD03.7090907@psand.net> Hi All, Anyone who might have been coming to Dorkbot tonight ought to know that they've cancelled it.

My research focuses on "innovations made by and for users". I have decided to particularly focus on "Wireless Community Networks" which are illustrative of a new type of approach more autonomous, alternative and civic. For the last two years, I have been interviewing French members of "Wifi Community Networks"; I talked with them about their commitment and about the life of their project. Now, I carry on with my research and I propose you to answer to my questionnaire. This questionnaire will enable me to gather data on a wider population: members of European and North American "Wireless Communities". I invite you to follow this link: http://www.sharing-data.com/client/calvignac-c-dric/en/etudereseauwifi.html Answer the questionnaire should not take you more than a few minutes. Personal informations will be kept anonymous. Survey results will be communicated and freely accessible. I would be very grateful to you if you could circulate my questionnaire among your contacts (in your own wifi community). Thanks for your answer and for message diffusion. I am at your disposal for any questions or commentary. Best regards. C?dric Calvignac PhD Student ? Sociology CERTOP ? Toulouse University II T?l: (+33) 6.11.29.13.48 P.S.: If possible, can you please indicate at the end of the questionnaire where do you come from (city) and the name of your wifi network. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

You go from a standard debian etch install then add the following repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: #uk-based public repository deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ etch main deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free deb http://repo.bristolwireless.net/bw etch contrib and do an apt-get update, then apt-get install bristolwireless The next account you add will have the "Bristol Wireless Desktop", an xfce variant, will also be member of useful groups for system control. If you add that user to the powerusers group, you will be able to ammend you menu bar and stuff like that. Note that this does make some fundamental additions you your sources.list when you install it. It needs a lot more documentation.

Most live distros I have tried default to a English_US keyboard during live session - it is a balance of a quick and easy boot without having to answer a bunch of questions vs getting a usable basic config for a temp session. Usually these issues are addressed at install time - well sometimes this works, well actually I think on my recent installfest, only Mandriva and OpenSUSE get this bit right...but anyway.

Also if i generate locales in the chroot we should be able to set locale.gen to en_GB ISO-8859-1 which should give us an en_GB keyboard at least and also maybe remove the xscreensvaer package. also maybe we should be creating more wifi modules, if so would it make sense to have 2 live cd's desktop and laptop what do you think?

I give up: what's the connection to cooperatives or wireless? Anyway, I think I've been there, done the start-up thing and lost control of the company. I'd be quite happy for more developers to join TTLLP, an IT services workers cooperative that uses free software, and you can spend 100% of your time on personal projects, but you need to have some idea how to make them pay, else you won't have much income ;-) Seriously, there's no guaranteed salaries and drawings are dependant on how much revenue you're responsible for, but I'm particularly keen to hear from web, perl and debian free software hackers and cooperators because I think I can generate more work than I can handle myself for those skills. PHP also accepted. Lisp and particularly Scheme are very cool but don't seem to pay many bills. Oh, and no agencies here either, thanks. That's one thing we have got in common.
