<nettime> the end of the ministry as you knew it |
dear friends, yesterday, january 31, the syssop of radio student, edi suc, had sent me an e.mail with a notification he had to (by the order of the responsible) shut down the hexpo mailing list at "bart" sever of radio student, including it's archives. hexpo@radiostudent.si was an open public list active since may 2000 and was holding at it's peak near 300 recipients, mostly in slovenia. it was pitched to organisation background of the hexpo festival on local level. radio student was hosting the list not only cause of the partneship with ministry of experiment, but also as co-producer of hexpo. without additional commentaries, i would like just to point out the manner, how the leadership of radio student is cutting civil activites at it's server: without warning, announcement and especially, without any explanation to the members of the list using the list itself. i had never heard before about such a destructive behaviour in the case of hosting a public list on internet, especially by an institution, which can afford being sponsored by phare program for public access activities. please, spread the news, although the bad ones. in the next days i will request the removal of all the pages hosted at radio student in connection to hexpo festival, including the pages of ministry of experiment and egon march institute: http://www.radiostudent.si/mzx/hexpo/ http://www.radiostudent.si/mzx/before2000/index.html http://www.radiostudent.si/~march/ i will form the info web page about behaviour of the officials at radio student in the near future. the list, all the pages and archives will resurrect with new addresses during the spring. as for the rest, ministry of experiment, http://www.radiostudent.si/mzx/hexpo/ non-formal group of media activists, was exiled from the working place at radio student in september 2000, after promoting, developing and educating for internet streaming activities on the international internet scene since 1997. to be continued marko kosnik -- <march@kud-fp.si> http://www.iflugs.hdk-berlin.de/emi or http://www.radiostudent.si/~march # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
