BLR minutes

February 8, 2007

Thursday meeting of Berkeley Liberation Radio

Announcements

Screening of DVD has been set for Saturday, March 24, chosen after looking at calendar, aiming to shortly follow Anarchist Bookfair the previous weekend

Outreach

Opportunity to table at second day of Anarchist Book Fair (is extended by Long Haul who will not be using their second day) – one veteran programmer and 2 newer ones volunteered to table. DVDs might be ready to distro by then, if not, just fliers and promo items will be fine too. One programmer suggested cd recordings of shows would be appropriate

Phone

One programmer complained that personality issues were getting in the way of business, cautioned not to jump to conclusions.

Phone was installed 2/6, not sure where. After calling the phone company, it was established that it is in the name of the person who ordered it, contrary to rumor. House rep handled it by switching over an existing phone jack despite decision at last meeting to have whole new jack installed in studio room.

This may present a problem since part of the expense was justified by also having dsl access through that line. Currently paying for dsl which we can’t use. Tabled until next meeting.

Schedule

Changes made http://www.mistakemagazine.net/BLR_Schedule.htm

Tech

1. There is a new tape deck in studio, looks like the one that might have been broke got replaced
2. Programmer reports that CD2 is not broke, just sensitive. Better to use only cds in good condition in that machine
3. Computer keeps getting dismantled despite house residents desire to use it. Speculation that dismantling may be resulting from residents’ concern about power bill expense

Internet

1. Some new procedures on line at http://radio.mistakemagazine.net/helpfiles.html
2. mission statements & schedule fliers passed out
3. phone list reviewed and approved http://radio.mistakemagazine.net/PhoneList.htm
4. new dj wanted to know why there is no domain name for BLR, speculated that need internet access in order to make a serious website - tabled
5. call out to help establish procedures
