A PROJECT AND AN ACTION:
A CIVIC NETWORK
A NET STRIKE
by Strano Network
CIVIC NETWORK PROJECT
The following project consists of the technical aspect of the Civic Network
of Florence presented to the municpal
government by the Telematic Council of the Metropolitan Area of Florence.
The project (originally designed by Strano Network) is made by a theoric
part (already presented at the Metaforum II
of Budapest) and of a technical part.
The FirNet Telematic Council is a network coordinating more than 15 BBS of
the metropolitan area of Florence (near
the whole of the Florence'sBBS).
Such BBS are nodes of several no-profit telematics networks (Cybernet,
Peacelink, European Counter Network,
Fidonet, OneNet Italia, Toscanet, Immagina) and some of them are sub-domain
Internet (but only for e-mail pruposes...).
Virtual Town TV (the Strano Network's BBS) represent the host of FirNet.
Technical proposal.
The proposal of the Florence Civic Network divide itself in five server open
24 hours.
1. Web Server
2. First Class Server
3. Fido like Server
4. FTP Server
5. Nntp Server
Thanks to the RCF (Florence Civic Network) server it is possible to create
an exchange node from Internet, the
Municipal administration and the no profit BBS in the Florence area (amateur
networks, associations etc.).
In this way may be possible to divulgate in Internet, in bidirectional way,
the digital materials (the conferences,
messages and files) of the Municipal administration and the BBS in the
Florence metropolitan zone. So the RCF will
distribute the Internet Newsgroups, the private Internet mail and all the
digital material of the Municipal administration.
Moreover the RCF will collect in itself all the area files and the local
conferences propose from the Florence's BBS.
For the realisation of this idea we propose the follow plane:
- WEB server (with on-line links) that contains:
- Municipal administration area (with the digital materials)
- Link area with associations and Florence civic institutions
- BBS area. A self-management space where are present the BBS that want to
participate to the project (with a
size limit for everyone).
- Internet information's area
- RCF information's area
- Users area (users htlm page)
- Technical information's area
- Miscellaneous area (social and cultural topics)
- First Class Server on-line links + gateway) that contains:
- Internet private mail
- Municipal administration area (with the digital materials)
- Link area with associations and Florence civic institutions
- Messages and files area from national and international network
(Cybernet, Toscanet, Peacelink, ECN, P-
Net, Fidonet, OneNet Italia, etc.)
- Conferences and Newsgroups messages
- BBS area. A self-management space where are present the BBS that want to
paparticipateo the project (with a
size limit for everyone)
- Internet informations area
- RCF informations area
- Users area (messages and file area with the users on-line self management)
- Technical information's area
- Miscellaneous area (social and cultural topics)
Fido like server (only gateway) that contains:
- Internet private mail
- Municipal administration area (with the digital materials)
- Messages area from associations and Florence civic institutions

Peacelink, ECN, P-Net, Fidonet,
OneNet Italia, etc...)
- Municipal administration area (with the digital materials)
- Files area from associations and Florence civic institutions
- Local files area
- BBS area. A self-management space where are present the BBS that want to
participate to the project (with a
size limit for everyone)

NET'STRIKE First hour
21-12-1995
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. (France time zone)
Enjoy the first global strike in Internet
Instructions:
- Spread this message everywhere
- a) In the date 21/12/1995, 6pm-7pm (day and hour change in relationship to
the time zone, look at the list no. 2 at the
bottom of the message), link to sites of French Government (look at the
list no. 1 or cut and copy the home page of the
list no. 3);
b) reply said procedure several times for an hour by using intervals of few
seconds.
A demonstration of 1000, 10.000, 100.000 netusers all together making part
of a line crossing French Government's sites.
The result of this strike will be to stop for an hour network activities of
French Government.
BOIKOTT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT'S INSTITUTIONS!.
French Goverment has shown a total contempt for French people, for
international community, for common people who
just would like to grow up their sons in a better world as it:
- goes on with nuclear experiments in Pacific Ocean's islands
- goes on with use of nuclear energy as mainly source of "civil" energy
- goes on with its projects of "social redrawing" without taking into
account the enormous presence of people in recent
demonstrations of protest against such kind of policy.
These are the reasons that drove us to to take off to french government (for
a while...) some of the privileges that every
powerful man involved in war-games and exploitation plans like very much:
The access to the ever growing important
new information media. The same privileges denied to all common people.
We will go on with our demonstrations with any means, using all
technologies, always respecting the law. Those political
fellows which do not take into any account people's needs will understand
very soon the real power of new information
technologies.
This is the first strike that we promote, in the future there will be other
ons. If you want to get informations for next
demonstrations and activities send a message to this address:

*******************************************************
NET'STRIKE ECHO
The first international Internet's strike has been developed in a good result !
It is not possible to know how many Internet's users were on-line but as
there were many www french government
servers listed in our strike's msg we think several thousands of Internet
users have partecipated to the strike !
Strike effects were the above reported:
- 5.45 p.m. Quick access to fr servers;
- 6.00 p.m. first difficulties to access to fr servers;
- 6.15 p.m. it is not possible to access to the Health and to the
Educational Ministers' www servers;
- 6.30 p.m. Also the servers of the Nuclear Agency, of the French Government
and of the Indusrial Ministry decline the
access;
- 6.45 p.m. The access to the servers of the National Education and of the
Health Ministers is denied while the link with
other fr servers meets several difficulties;
- 7.00 p.m. Only the link with the servers of the Educational and Health
servers is denied while the functioning of the
other servers is on standard level.
Apart from the "on-line" partecipation we have recorded the arrive of
several msg of approval to the demonstration
from all over the world.
The Italian press has shown attention to this kind of strike by publishing
several articles (La Nazione, Unita',
Repubblica while the left-wing newspaper Manifesto has not published any
note on this demonstration!).
The strike has been "transmitted" by several Italian "radio" such as
Controradio and Radio Popolare and other kinds of
local and national information networks has spread news about the strike.
Our protest msg developed on 14.12.95 has been spread all over the world
after few days showing:
- the interest of many people to counteract the French current policy on
nuclear and social items;
- the willing to be involved in a NET'STRIKE;
- the existence of a world-wide movement able to counteract world-wide
injustice;
- the capacity to develop a such kind of movement in a short time.
Finally we outline that:
- several users have not set browser preferences in such a way to really
link with the server each time (cache memory
at 0) and not with its own PC;
- it could be possible (for the next time) to build up software oriented to
the specific goal to make an "electroni
demonstration" at the internal of a www server.
As a result of this first net'strike's test we are sure that a strike
organized at the internal of internet (with more days to
organize the strike, specific software, specific instructions) can be a
powerful media to counteract international injustice.
We are happy to see how the inter-activity offered by Internet has offered
the opportunity to many people to stand-up
on the electronic frontier not for business or for show goals but for social
global demonstration!
