As the first wave of online projects like Indymedia wane in the face of the 'web 2.0' “mallification” and “net-sploitation” it can often feel as though the days activists, at least those closely linked to social movements, took a cutting edge role in shaping the web are far gone.

Around 20 video makers, photographers and bloggers used this space to create their own media coverage of the Climate Camp workshops, discussions and actions to build a community-based movement for real action on climate change. We were able to present our own stories as a counter-measure to the often simplistic and conflict-based accounts presented in the mainstream media. Climate Camp has been a rich and diverse exploration of positive action on climate change, and ways to build alliances by the many different communities who are stepping up their efforts to convince governments to take real action, and to take it now, before it is too late. The major focus of the camp was on coal exports, as Newcastle is the world's largest coal port, and therefore one of Australia's major contributions to greenhouse gas emissions.

EngageMedia is helping independent media creators with the distribution of their videos, based at the community media space provided by Octapod, and using a mobile media van. In the coming days community media activists will be uploading their videos to EngageMedia of inspiring action, informative discussions and engaging debate about how to create real solutions to climate change and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
