hi rasa & raitis and all organising the event at riga.

first i want to say BOOHOO why isn;t Riga another suburb of Australia?

since many members of the collective cannot be with you, i wanted to take
this opportunity to remind you of things that we were going to continue
discussing from the last big group meeting in linz. i know some of these
concerns are on the agenda, but maybe others are not ... i also know that
some of these issues have progressed, so it would be good to give a status
report!
so..

1. persuade real audio people and get a free full real audio server to
allow more channels and split streams etc by the xchange group.

2. set up more real audio servers for use by everybody. in particular it
would be good if these had stable addresses. find some secret place to list
these addresses.

3. a web based interface/timetable that would show who is broadcasting what
and on which channel:to be based on the re-lab web pages. 

4. set up interfund with the $1000 left over from the ars electronica prix:
which could either be a lobbying group or a funding project.

5.  global pirate radio network project. to set up many mini-fm
transmittors around the world which broadcast net.radio over fm. this may
include a group scheduler which would allow people to broadcast the same
content automatically, and could be switched off to allow local content to
be broadcast when needed.

6. food to be provided in the contract at any of the next xchange group
meetings outside of latvia.

7. ars electronica cd, to be produced by ars and xchange. now to be
released as part of the next acoustic space magazine .. where willmoney for
this come from?

8. research possible licences for terrestrial radio.

9. research streaming mpeg.

are we going to get a chance to participate in discussion via irc or
something?
i think that would be great...

ok, take care,....z.


(the room spoke to me and it said "get out of my head." i started laughing
at it but then realised that perhaps it was quietly serious and
respectfully left.)
