On Tuesday June 18th 2002, on the 3rd year anniversary of the J18 Carnival Against Capitalism, the Common-Forum development group invites you to a night of introductions, discussions, information and community celebration at the Global Cafe, London UK.
Based on the success of desktop publishing, the World Wide Web, low budget audio/video production, peer-to-peer file sharing applications (e.g. Napster, Kazaa, & Gnutella), community radio and other ėguerilla mediaķ we have already proven that mainstream media is not the only choice.
What is needed is a centralized network system for exchanging independent media. An accessible & common database that lets users organize, relate, sort and filter content in a completely democratic fashion.
We call this system the Common-Forum and we need your help to build it.
