Merry Christmas!Christmas has come early this year. Yes, check out what Santa dropped on our URL. This new sparkly site is the product of many late nights by many volunteer zinesters. Special shoutouts to Matt Jalbert and Ryan Junell for the new design and repeated iterations of banner making and to Eddie Codel for server and blog integration. Thanks to our several new sponsors who are down with the cause. Along with the new design, we’ve got a bit more detail on what to expect at Webzine 2005. We have a rough schedule of panels and workshops lined up for Saturday and Sunday. Have a look and get yerself an earlybird ticket. We are also in need of volunteers, the magic pixie dust of any successful grassroot indepdendent media event. Free t-shirt and friends for life is just a little what you can expect if you get involved. 2 Responses to “Merry Christmas!” |
NOW ONLINE: The Webzine Wiki WEBZINE is a real world, face-to-face celebration of independent publishing on the Internet. It's part panel discussions and speakers, part workshops and much freeform collaboration, schmoozing and after-party boozing. The panel discussions aim to inspire, the workshops are hands-on forums of learning and the Master's Lounge is the unstructured place to share knowledge, ideas and URLs. DIY to its core, Webzine is rooted in zine culture and the love of making our own media. INSPIRE: Panel Discussions & SpeakersTwo days of panel discussions and presentations from speakers covering a micro gamut of the independent publishing landscape. Hear from people who are turning mainstream media on it's head through self-reporting, culture jamming, citizen journalism, experimenting with new forms of audio and video broadcasting and of course, sticking it to the Man. LEARN: WorkshopsInspiration becomes creation when you make the tools and tricks work for you. Learn from leaders and creators of open source publishing tools, podcasts and video blogs. Step it up a notch by learning how to tailor your message, perfect your content with proper internet architecture and this new thing called microformats. SHARE: Master's LoungeWe would be lying to you horribly if we tried to tell you that we've covered everything and everyone there is to know in the world of independent online publishing. The Lounge is a place where you can share your ideas, project, URL or whatever you happen to be working on with fellow allies and future friends. This area will be an open, self-selecting and self-scheduled space equipped with a digital projector and a round table. Gather 'round and exchange knowledge and contact info. Webzine 2005 is AccessibleOnline tickets for Webzine 2005 went for an amazingly low price of $22 for the whole shebang. Day passes were $13 in advance. That's less than 1% the cost of some other well known annual conferences, all without the guilt, grime or starch. Webzine 2005
