Someone far more qualified than me should write this, but here’s a placeholder… Laughing out loud

Here are some of the services the Queer Web project wishes to offer.

Queer Groupware

Groupware refers to related, integrated technology used in tandem for a specific purpose. Yahoo groups is currently used by a lot of queer groups: and combines email lists, file uploads and a shared calendar. Other groups use social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace to publicize their group

Help us!

The queer web project is always looking for new people to help out!

We need all kinds of skills, from coders to PR people to directors to guide our progress.

Where we're at

Development is coming along nicely, but we're at a stage where some more data and input would be very helpful indeed. The site isn't at a usable stage, but huge bits of the development are in place.

What we need - general

Mission

Submitted by root on Fri, 11/28/2008 - 23:44
in

The Queer Web Project aims to make a friendly, welcoming community, enabling communication and information sharing across a global community of queers, building bridges between disparate queer communities. We aim to tie together a number of unsatisfactory, unrelated web technologies the queer community currently uses in the absence of something specifically for us.

Northern Wave Swimming Club

The Club caters for all levels of swimming from beginners through to competitive swimming. You can
come along and do your own thing, for meeting people/social purposes or be coached either for personal
improvement and fitness or to enter swimming events around the world and/or ASA Masters Events.
Many members use the club for its social outlets and are not necessarily committed swimmers but enjoy
the unique ambience that the club has and are more involved in the social and volunteering opportunities
that the club generates.

Whilst the majority of our members are from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, we are absolutely open to everyone and encourage participation from, and aim to provide access for all.

Queer Cafe (Manchester)

A monthly Queer cafe in Manchester.
Manchester LGBT Center

First Sunday of the month, come to the LGBTQ Centre behind 8th Day on Oxford Road for Sunday lunch, nice people and Sunday papers. It's bring a dish, so please bring some food if you are able.

The cafe is primarily a safe space for queers and their friends. We take queer to mean people of all genders, sexualities, and sexes and who are involved in all kinds of relationship types. We started the Cafe out of a lack of safe spaces for queers to get cheap, vegetarian and vegan food and generally hang out and be well.

Queer Manchester

A meta-group for queers based in Manchester

This group was formed out of a lack of unified information on queer activity in Manchester. Hopefully this can catalogue queer events going on, and be a good place for general discussion.

Pride is a protest! Stonewall was a riot!

Info-sharing, skillsharing, help + advice for setting up your own DIY pride events wherever you live; queer food for thought

Thinking about taking part in the parade but wish it was like old times where marching for our rights came before entering as walking advertisements for greedy corporate sponsors and boistrous self-publisist gay charities?

Join us in declaring "Pride IS a Protest"!

Taking inspiration from Birmingham's amazing Pride is a protest event, there is now an organised group of queer activists working to ensure a similar event takes place during the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday 23 August 2008.

Bradford Samba

Bradford Samba's new new webpage

This website belongs to the Bradford Samba Band. We’re a society in the University of Bradford Union but we’re open to everyone: If you want to creatively protest the great injustices of the world, then you’re welcome here. If you’ve got rhythm, its a bonus, but its not essential. We’re always looking for new members, so please get involved.

On this (queer) day...

Queer history dates for your diary!

Inspired by the Slingshot diaries, the Queer Web Project though it would be nice to have an iCalendar-importable "on this day" archive for your electronic diary.

This module needs a maintainer. Please feel free to contact the group owner and take it over!
