--- Log opened Tue Nov 08 00:00:13 2011 01:23 < CorporateAvenger> Alright Brothers & Sisters, that is it for me... Will see you tomorrow! ;) Good Night!!!! Solidarity Always! 01:23 -!- CorporateAvenger is now known as []0_o[] 11:32 -!- []0_o[] is now known as CorporateAvenger 15:29 < mcallan> anyone know how long the website has been saying: "Please be patient as we investigate issues with the website" 15:35 < mcallan> anyone know where there's online discussion about occupy toronto? twitter is full of vapid nonsense 15:41 < markstacey> haha 15:41 < markstacey> yeah, twitter is generally... not the best platform for discussion 15:42 < markstacey> there's discussion in here sometimes, but not enough people use IRC really... most people here are just idling. 15:43 < markstacey> there's an "Occupy Canada" subforum on Occupy Vancouver's forum, you could start a thread there. But it's doubtful many people from toronto would see it. 15:46 < mcallan> markstacey: i guess they've got their hands full organizing things on the ground 15:47 < mcallan> but it's surprising they don't use the internet 15:47 < mcallan> i mean, in public 15:50 < markstacey> hmm? not sure what you mean 15:53 < mcallan> well it's a hugely prominent movement, so it's surprising there is no public discussion in toronto 15:53 < mcallan> it would help them to have some kind of online presence 15:53 < markstacey> oh definitely 15:54 < markstacey> the GA's are necessary for fair, consensus-based decision making, but informal discussion is essential for the movement 15:54 < markstacey> and the internet is the best platform we have for that I think 15:55 < markstacey> I heard from someone that there's an Occupy Canada site in the works, with forums and such built in 15:55 < markstacey> for use by all Occupy movements across Canada. It'll be a hub for contact info and such as well. I really hope that actually gets set up, it'd be fantastic. 15:56 < mcallan> so meantime, all the discussion on the net must be happening in private. it can't all be GA and face to face 15:57 < mcallan> which strikes me as foolish 15:57 < mcallan> i want to help them, but i have to take a trip downtown, and hang around the park 15:58 < mcallan> just to find contacts 16:01 < mcallan> (back later) 18:02 <@amgine> site is going to drive me nuts... 18:10 <@amgine> Markstacey: http://wiki.occupysf.org/index.php/Occupy_Toronto/map <- accurate locations? 18:13 < markstacey> not sure, I'm with OccupyNewfoundland :p 18:17 <@amgine> Bah! Whereabouts in Newfoundland? 18:19 < markstacey> St. John's 18:20 -!- amgine is now known as Amgine 18:21 <@Amgine> Where is the occupation there physically located? I need to know pretty specifically if I'm to make a map for it. 18:23 < markstacey> -52.70285,47.56724, on that map 18:23 < markstacey> harbourside park 18:24 < markstacey> no tent city down there anymore, just 2-3 central tents we all share 18:24 <@Amgine> Just a second... 18:27 <@Amgine> Do you have a twitter feed? 18:34 < markstacey> http://twitter.com/#!/Occupy_NFLD 18:34 < markstacey> also our blog is OccupyNL.ca, has most of our info on it 18:39 <@Amgine> Thanks, working on it. 18:48 <@Amgine> MarkStacey: http://wiki.occupysf.org/index.php/St._John's,_NL/map 18:50 < markstacey> nice 18:51 <@Amgine> What services does the occupation have? Do you have a google calendar? 18:52 < markstacey> yep 18:52 < markstacey> linked on the blog. 18:54 <@Amgine> Do you have a medical team on site? What are in your shared 3 tents? 18:54 < markstacey> no medical team, only a small group of people actually on-site 18:54 < markstacey> group of volunteers stay down there 24/7, 4-8 people there at any given time, most of our members only get together for events and GA 18:55 <@Amgine> Will check your calendar events. Adding more connections from the wiki. 19:33 <@Amgine> Okay, built a bit of a page on the wiki, and the map with a single point. If you have anything else, like at the portland occupy (http://wiki.occupysf.org/index.php/Occupations/USA/OR/Portland), I can put those on the map as well. 19:33 <@Amgine> Oh, the page is at: http://wiki.occupysf.org/index.php/St._John%27s,_NL 19:41 < markstacey> awesome, looks good 19:42 < markstacey> the only other thing I'd add is the facebook page, as it's how most of us communicate http://www.facebook.com/occupyNL 19:42 <@Amgine> meh. I think it looks like sheit. But not bad for 45 minutes. Adding fb now. 19:43 <@Amgine> added 21:08 -!- THE_CI_LOGGING is now known as CEM 23:14 <@Amgine> Bensaccount is doing a pretty good job of editing the Toronto page on the wiki. --- Log closed Wed Nov 09 00:00:28 2011
