This is a wiki post that most logged in members can edit. Let’s keep it updated together!
Do you know social music lovers who should be here? Please list them below (just paste the link to their public website / social profile; no personal info or description).
Optionally, you can add a comment mentioning your update and explaining why you think this place would be better with them (yes, an opportunity to praise them).
Let’s move those who already landed here to the list at the top, so we keep the eye on those we are still missing;
Added Ampwall, jam.coop and Subvert as music sites… all following loosely similar ideas to Mirlo as community-owned/managed music distribution/streaming.
Also added Rainfall, which is a simpler way to generate a Faircamp site that doesn’t require an artist to install the software themselves. Faircamp-as-a-Service, effectively, although you still have to publish it somewhere.
I took the liberty to add a “radio producers / podcasters” section and populate it with Herr Irrtum, who’s been very active in making musicians heard.
And I believe we need more radio people and/or podcast makers, if there is still such a thing
I took a lot of liberties. Added sections for netlabels, and Survivors Of for sinking or sunk projects whose organiser might be looking for a lifeboat. Also a section at the top to list who’s already here, so newbies don’t keep adding them I’ve added a bunch of projects and people I’ve come across over the years through my CC and fediverse evangelism, and my podcast addiction. A bunch of music platforms, a few music podcasters, etc.
EDIT: Do we need some way of marking who’s been invited, and who still needs an invite?
Good idea @Roberta. I’m thinking maybe some people from student radio, community access radio too, and guard-band FM too? They all include music programming run by people who love sharing music.
Make a list of projects I wanted to invite people from
Go to the website for each project and look for an email address or contact form
Customise the boilerplate message for each project, and send it using the email address or contact form
It’s a scattergun approach, not all the messages will get through. But the idea is to create a buzz, and bring in a few more people from outside the current cross-section of people in this project community. Hoping that word will spread, and more will turn up as the community turns its hand to collective projects.
BTW I’ve added a few more projects to the lists here, and tried to alphabetise them.
This is why it needs to be a collective effort. Start with people and groups you have personal connections with, or preexisting relationships with. They’re the ones most likely to take up the invitation. Once you get through those, maybe prioritise the ones you think might contribute the most or get the most out of participating here?
If we all chuck out a dozen invites, and 2-3 of each dozen lead to new people joining, that’s a lot of new people. Rinse, repeat, if the new people do the same.
