DIY Media Labs

DIY Media Labs are indymedia style participatory media labs which are created during or connected to a conference, convergence or social forum. They differ in a number of ways from a traditional indymedia center in that they tend to be more conference / training focused than covering protests or actions. DIY Media Labs are - amongst other things - inspired by hacklabs.

This page will hopefully bring together links and documentation about polymedia labs around the world and help drive forward ideas on how they can be organized.

For now this page is really just a placeholder with a few links.
