<p>The UK Indymedia Collective met this weekend in Wales. Amongst other things, we have agreed some changes to the newswire. The default view will now be the promoted newswire — articles that have been read and promoted by a member of the collective. This will mean that newly published articles won't immediately appear on the front page of the site but can be viewed by clicking through to <a href="/en/?w=open#nwire">the open newswire</a>. We hope these changes will encourage people to post content that meets the <a href="/en/static/editorial.html">editorial guidelines</a>.</p>2014-02-16T22:44+02:002014-02-16T22:44:00+00:00IndymediaUKIMC UKenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Secret City: Oxford Screening + Q+A
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2013/02/506640.html
<p>Celebrating two years of regular film screenings at <a href="http://theoarc.org.uk">OARC</a>, East Oxford Community Centre, Oxford Indymedia presents <a href="http://secretcity-thefilm.com">the new independent film Secret City</a>, on <strong>Sunday 3rd March from 7pm</strong>. For this Oxford Premier, we are pleased to be joined by film makers Lee Salter and Michael Chanan, who will be presenting the film and doing a Q&A session afterwards.</p><p>The City of London is an anomaly in UK democracy. With just 7,000 permanent residents and the lowest car ownership in the country, its own police force, its arcane system of self-government with its Lord Mayor, Livery Companies and Alderman, businesses that have the right to vote and it’s direct accountability to the Crown rather than Parliament, the City houses the one of the Globe's key financial centres and the Inns of Court, the heart of the UK’s legal system. The City is the place where banks, brokers, insurers and other money-makers enjoy their unimpeded ascendancy.</p><p>The <a href="http://occupylondon.org.uk">Occupy LSX movement</a>, which arose in 2011, once again drew public attention to the unprecedented political and financial status the City enjoys; largely unchanged since William the Conqueror's time. Secret City will take us on a tour of key City locations by an Occupy activist, Liam Taylor and delve into the history and mystery of the UK's most powerful centre.</p><p>The night will be held downstairs in the bar where Catweazel Club is normally held, so there will be refreshments on tap and in bottle for the night. Come along and watch the film and celebrate two years of screenings with Oxford Indymedia.</p><p><a href="http://oxford.indymedia.org.uk/2012/03/494169.html">Article about first year of screenings</a> | <a href="http://films.oximc.org.uk">oarcfilms web site</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HJGLqMAQbk">Secret City trailer</a> (links to external site) | <a href="http://films.oximc.org.uk/files/2013/02/secret-city-flyer.pdf">screening flyer</a></p>2013-02-17T22:35+02:002013-02-17T22:35:00+00:00IndymediaOccupy EverywhereOxfordASenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8New Email Lists and Wiki for UK Indymedia
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/06/480538.html
<p>Two of the key tools that Indymedia activists use for communication and collaboration are email lists and wiki pages. UK Indymedia activists have made extensive use of lists hosted by the <a href="http://lists.indymedia.org/">global Indymedia list server</a> and of the <a href="https://docs.indymedia.org/">global Indymedia wiki</a> over the last decade. But at the end of May 2011 key lists were shutdown without agreement and wiki accounts deleted.</p><p>In response to this situation, <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/">new email lists</a> have been set up for people who wish to contact the site admins or to be involved in discussions about features and moderation. There is also a <a href="https://wiki.indymedia.org.uk/">new wiki site</a> for UK Indymedia related documents. In addition there is now a new <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/users">Users list</a> for users of this site to raise matters which are not covered by the <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/moderation">Moderation</a>, <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/features">Features</a> or <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/tech">Tech</a> lists.</p><p><strong>Links: <a href="https://lists.indymedia.org.uk/">lists.indymedia.org.uk</a> | <a href="https://wiki.indymedia.org.uk/">wiki.indymedia.org.uk</a></strong></p>2011-06-08T20:25+02:002011-06-08T20:25:00+00:00IndymediaSheffieldUKUK Indymedia FeaturesenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Sheffield Anarchist Bookfair 2011

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/05/479419.html
<p>There have been disagreements within the UK Indymedia movement for some time. These came to a head on 1 May 2011. As a result, there are now two national projects - <a href="http://indymedia.org.uk/">Mayday</a> and <a href="http://bethemedia.org.uk/">Be The Media</a>, and conflict between the two groups continues.</p><p>We don't intend to go into the details in this article, but you can read about them in the articles <a href="http://london.indymedia.org.uk/articles/8854">Big changes are coming to Indymedia UK</a> (published by Be The Media) and <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/04/478397.html">The Attempt to Shutdown UK Indymedia</a> (published by Mayday).</p>2011-05-13T00:19+02:002011-05-13T00:19:00+00:00IndymediaOxfordOxford IndymediaenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Autonomy for the UK
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/05/479160.html
<p>On 1st May 2011 the UK Indymedia Network <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29">forked</a> into two autonomous projects, running two different websites, <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/">UK Indymedia</a> and <a href="http://www.bethemedia.org.uk/">Be The Media</a>. Also, a snapshot of the UK Indymedia site as it existed on the date of the the fork was created as <a href="http://archive.indymedia.org.uk/">an archive</a>.</p><p>There was a consensus in the UK Indymedia Network that the project needed to fork, so that Indymedia members with different views could all work on developments they were happy with rather than come into constant conflict. An agreement was made in December to implement the fork on May 1st but the agreement <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html">broke down at the eleventh hour</a>. Mayday believed that part of the agreement was that their collective was to have globally recognised <a href="http://www.indymedia.org/">Independent Media Centre</a> status at the time of the fork. Be The Media had <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/04/478257.html">interpreted this differently</a> and did not see it this way. The consensus that had been thrashed some 4 months before had now snapped and activists, being activists, took action. Be The Media started implementing the changes to the site shortly after midnight on May 1st. Mayday saw what was happening, considered the blocks to have been ignored [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/479160.html#f1">1</a>] and felt that if this proceeded it would have in effect <a href="https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html">shut down the UK Newswire</a>. After several hours of discussion and consideration they agreed they couldn't let it proceed like this and so, in the early hours of May 1st, sleepless techies migrated the entire web site to a new server, thus effecting the fork on the agreed date but not in the way originally planned.</p><p><strong>Articles: <a href="/en/2011/05/479324.html">I'm glad Indymedia UK is still here!</a> | <a href="http://nottingham.indymedia.org.uk/articles/1746">What's up with UK Indymedia?</a> | <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/478939.html">Ode to IMC UK: keep it going....</a> | <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/478827.html">Britain's Left Defeats Itself Again</a> | <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/478559.html">IMC UK Shut Down #IMCUKshutdown</a></strong></p><p><strong>Features: <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/478721.html">The 1st May 2011 UK Indymedia Network Fork</a> | <a href="http://nottingham.indymedia.org.uk/articles/1159">Big changes are coming to Indymedia UK</a> | <a href="http://sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html">The Attempt to Shutdown UK Indymedia</a></strong></p><p><strong>Elsewhere: <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.ukhttp://www.schnews.org.uk/archive/news7706.php">SchNEWS: Indymedia: From the Rubble of Double Trouble</a></strong></p>2011-05-09T11:53+02:002011-05-09T11:53:00+00:00IndymediaSheffieldSheffield IndymediaenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8The 1st May 2011 UK Indymedia Network Fork

<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The attempted shutdown took place, see <strong><a href="http://archive.indymedia.org.uk/">archive.indymedia.org.uk</a></strong>, it was <a href="http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-uk-process/2011-April/0430-n7.html">announced by IMC London</a> and has been <a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/05/478559.html">critiqued</a>, but the lists don't appear to have been shutdown yet. <a href="http://www.indymediascotland.org/">Scotland</a> Indymedia <a href="http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/imc-process/2011-April/0430-oq.html">blocked the shutdown for 3 weeks</a> (until they can discuss it face to face).</p><p>Some people involved with UK Indymedia have been talking about shutting down the <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/">UK IMC site</a> for years [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html#f1">1</a>], for a variety of reasons; an openly declared disillusionment with the original model of open publishing and wanting to move to pre-moderated newswires which don't allow comments on articles [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html#f2">2</a>], a dislike of the political content that is carried on the UK site [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html#f3">3</a>]; a desire to see the traffic, which the UK site gets, redirected to regional IMC sites [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html#f4">4</a>] and perhaps other motivations. Those wanting the site shutdown have also blocked improvements being made to the UK Indymedia site [<a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/04/478397.html#f5">5</a>].</p><p>However the activists who have been maintaining the UK IMC site are still committed to running a UK-wide Indymedia open newswire and are not prepared to see the UK Indymedia site shutdown. They believe that the UK Indymedia newswire provides a valuable service for articles and comments and it should be maintained. These activists are also committed to running UK Indymedia in a transparent and open manner and in the spirit of the initial <a href="http://www.indymedia.org/en/static/about.shtml">Independent Media Centre</a>. Prior to the UK Indymedia Network meeting in Bradford in December 2010 this group of IMC UK admins <a href="https://docs.indymedia.org/Local/UkCollectiveNewImcApplication">applied to the global New IMC process</a> as an autonomous collective with a wish to continue running the UK Indymedia site. Clearly the UK Indymedia site isn't a New IMC, it's been going for a decade (the early IMC UK story is covered in the <a href="http://london.indymedia.org/articles/8854">BeTheMedia article about the impending shutdown</a>), the application was made to make it clear that there was a group of activists who were running and wanted to continue running, the IMC UK site, but with autonomy from the activists running the other Indymedia sites in the UK.

<p>In the wake of the <a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/01/472314.html">outing of 4 undercover police infiltrators</a> into the UK activist scene, <a href="http://www.schnews.org.uk/">SchNews</a>, have broken a story about <a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/01/472496.html">police posts to Indymedia</a>. For over two years suspected police articles and comments have been tracked by filters that are triggered by matching IP addresses, the <a href="/en/2008/08/405393?c=all#c201254">first comment tracked in this manner</a> dates from August 2008 and <a href="/en/2011/01/472295.html?c=all#c263134">the last from January 2011</a>. The <a href="/en/regions/sheffield/2011/01/472619.html">full lists of gateway 202 and 303 posts</a> has now been published so activists can do their own analysis on the police posts.

<p>On April 27th, 2010, a comment appeared on the Indymedia UK newswire entitled <a href="/en/2010/04/449784.html?c=all#c247416">Don't use SPEAK as a model</a>. The comment, on an article entitled <a href="https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/04/449784.html">New animal lab at Leicester; New nationwide campaign to start</a> urged readers to respond to the campaign by "Model{ling} the campaign on a successful AR campaign such as Hillgrove cats or Darnley(sic) Oaks etc". Readers familiar with those campaigns will be aware that the campaigns are alleged to have included violent actions against individuals, including a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_Hill_Grove_Cats">a letter bomb</a> in the Hillgrove Cats campaign, and the removal of <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4708677.stm">Gladys Hammond</a> from her grave.</p>2011-01-22T16:02+02:002011-01-22T16:02:00+00:00BirminghamHistoryIndymediaPolicingRepressionUKBirmingham IMCenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8UK Indymedia to Fork on 1st May 2011
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/12/470678.html
<p>At a UK Indymedia Network meeting held in Bradford on 11th December 2010 it was agreed that the UK Indymedia project would <strong>fork into two separate projects</strong> on or before 1st May 2011 (fork in the sense of <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29#Forking_free_and_open_source_software">a Free Software fork</a>). Many issues and disagreements over the years preceded this decision and it is now hoped that all involved will be able to continue to work on activists media projects without ongoing conflicts. One collective will take over the running of the <a href="http://www.indymedia.org.uk/">www.indymedia.org.uk</a> website, with <strong>a new name that won't include "UK" and on a new indymedia.org sub-domain</strong>, which has yet to be agreed. The other group will continue developing an aggregator site they are working on. The indymedia.org.uk domain will be used to host an archive of the web site which will no longer be updated.</p><p>This won't have much direct effect on Sheffield Indymedia, the web site will continue to run as part of the renamed UK Indymedia website. <strong>Sheffield Indymedia will remain on <a href="http://sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/">sheffield.indymedia.org.uk</a></strong> (and hopefully soon also be available on <a href="http://sheffield.indymedia.org/">sheffield.indymedia.org</a>) and it is our hope that the Sheffield Indymedia newswire will be syndicated to the aggregator site.</p>2010-12-14T13:23+02:002010-12-14T13:23:00+00:00IndymediaSheffieldWorldSheffield IMCenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8
