Introducing the CAMPsite...

for Community Access Media People around Australia. Grab your appropriate beverage and take a seat by the fire, this is a camping ground for discussing the issues in community media.

As the flames lick and crackle, you can chat with people in community radio and TV stations, and anyone who wants to join in, about production, policy, volunteers, management, funding, technical issues, and whether wood fires are environmentally correct.

Well, it's really just an email mailing list, but a little imagination never hurts. Here's how it works:

This is a concrete way for everyone in community media in Australia to get together and discuss things online. Brought to you by the CBAA and Pegasus Networks, with help from the DSS Community Information Network project. I am maintaining it on a voluntary basis on behalf of the CBAA.

To see what more than 100 people around the fire are talking about, without joining in, check out Curtin University's campfire archive.

There are three ways to get on and off this list:

  1. The easiest way is to use these buttons:
  2. A trickier way is to send a message to majordomo@peg.apc.org, with the subject line blank, and the following in the body of the message:
  3. subscribe CAMP-L

  4. Ask me to put you on!

You'll receive a note saying you're on the list, and explaining how to use it.

To send a message to everyone around the fire, address it to:

CAMP-L@peg.apc.org

Note that's CAMP-L, where the L stands for List.

If you have any problems or questions, you can contact me on email or via the CBAA.

Hope to see you by the fire!

Frank.
