DescriptionStreamtime.org – Free media for Iraq Streamtime is a project of Radio Reedflute in collaboration with Rastasoft and Dyne:bolic, developed with artists and activists from Iraq and elsewhere. Initiated by Dutch journalist and media activist Jo van der Spek, Streamtime is a loose network of media activists dedicated to assist local media to get connected. Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis areas, like Iraq. Streamtime wants to research, indicate, point to amazing stories of people that, against all odds, are building a new Iraq. We want to help break the media barriers, provide tools and knowledge to build their own radio broadcast stations, make programs and exchange content. Guidelines The right to communicate, a sense of solidarity and a desire to relate are the leading principles. The flow of this project will be determined by the shared needs, skills, knowledge and experience of all involved. The design should be guided by openness, free publishing (copyleft), easy access, low-to-no literacy and multi-linguality. Free and Open source software will be preferred and stimulated. Streamtime is a media development project focused on promoting independent exchange and publishing using internet and radio. In 2004 a team of media activists from Europe, based in Amsterdam and Zurich, has made several attempts to establish contacts in Iraq offering free and cheap technology for publishing and broadcasting. We have done missions to Baghdad, Basrah and Suleimaniya from where we published live streams and recorded material. The Streamtime website has grown into a platform for bloggers and cultural activists commenting developments in Iraq. More and more is published in Arab, besides English. Our last mission to Basrah, in April 2005, in collaboration with the Iraqi Linux users Group produced 10 hours of streaming from the poetry festival Merbed. What the Hack At What the Hack streamtime will give a public presentation and proposes a work shop for people interested in building links with Arabic partners. We hope to be able to bring representatives of the Iraqi Linux users Group from Baghdad and Europe. We hope to welcome Iraqis and other Arab speakers to join!
