How we're helping the Cyberstrikers (11 November 1998) At our committee meeting on Monday we met one of the Cyberstrike organisers, Jaime Gorman. It was a very useful meeting; we have been set on staging an event in the longer term (involving other EU campaigners in 1999) and are immensely pleased that someone else has taken the initiative. For too long we've been a voice crying in the wilderness: we need more people, more sites, more people to spread the load ... and Cyberstrike is an excellent start. So what are we doing to help the Cyberstrikers? In the end what they do is their responsibility, but the most important help we can give is to exist. Because of CUT they don't have to derive all the 'theoretical' arguments: they can take a more light-hearted approach and do things which really matter for an event in a few weeks' time - such as gaining publicity. After all, they are gamers, and must be allowed to play to their strengths. We shared our experience of arranging events, which put a few things right, and also passed on our journalistic and Internet contacts. We offered to move their site to our own server (ice.cream.org), but this turned out to be unnecessary: they managed to solve their server problems which, at the beginning, were preventing parts of their site from working properly.
