Roll Up Your Shirt Sleeves

Below is the schedule for plenaries and workshops. There will be work projects for the station all weekend. This is the "barnraising" part of the shindig. We need folks wiring things up, painting in the station, testing equipment, sorting through donated machines, making banners, setting up computer systems to download audioŠAnd simultaneously, activists will be caucusing to formulate the next steps in the campaign to liberate the airwaves from corporate domination!
