+OUTLINE HISTORY OF VISIONONTV 02
+
+The funding took way to long to come through https://github.com/Openmedianetwork/Altmedia-history/wiki/History-of-the-visionontv-project
+
+Just before the funding finely came though I had a conversation R. – H. we have to re-think the project as soon as the funding comes through as the current project was planed 3 years before the funding arrived. We now faced 3 issues to run this project.
+
+1) The huge viewing figurers we had achieved in the run up to the project was based on SEO and linking verging on SPAM to play the basic google algorithm. This was seen by me as temporary path before moving onto our own “openweb” tech. This loop hole we pushed was going to be closed, the original plan was to use this temporary BOOST to bring the “opentech” into being. By the time the funding came through this loop hole was already closing fast.
+
+2) The tech we wonted to build was all taken up by a  well founded USA NGO The Particularity Culture Foundation (PCF) who suffered from the #geekproblem being pushed by #fashernistas agenda’s. PCF started out doing the right thing then failed due to NGO funding agenda’s repeatedly. This stopped the core project from developing and later lead to the tech fund part of the project being frozen to be used latter.
+
+3) The second #dotcon boom was brewing and atavist and NGO types were flocking to the #fashernista agenda of embracing things like Facebook, Twitter, youtube etc. And these services had taken on a new generation of people who actually understood how the #openweb works and most impotently now how to close it for corporate profit and social control.
+
+With these 3 point in mind  after the funding came through the project need to be refocused before being pushed into motion. R blankly refused to address this, refused to do this and pushed the original project into motion with my reluctant consent – with the coureuse of “the funders wont to see action”.
+
+This first year we worked hard.
+
+Coming up to the the AGM meeting at the year 1:
+
+1) The viewing figurers started to drop, though they were still very large.
+
+2) Non of the core PCF tech worked as advertised and after visiting them in the USA it was clear to me that millions of foundation $$$ were going to be waisted by there NGO funding agenders and with this much of the time and excitement of alt media withered. 
+
+3) The #dotcon world was heading to dominance in every area and particular in the campaigning and activism areas were everywhere you could swing a cat a “social media” workshop was being run by #fashernistas people. This in parallel with the #encryptionsts suffocating and stagnating existing alt-media projects such as indymedia degraded/ended the possibility of projects outside the closed #dotcon siloes. 
+
+For me our core visionontv  project could not compete. I told R we have to put the project into standby and explain all this to the funders. It was obvious to me that the #dotcon dominance would last for a few years before the opportunity came round agen for a lively alt-media #reboot. We could fund the core project by running “social work” parallel projects till this time then launch the core project with a wide healthy crew at a right/good moment. 
+This right/good moment was about two years ago but more on this latter.
+
+This lead to a shouting match disagreement between H. and R. he argued that we should keep spending the core funding (to inshore the second funding round came through). Me that the time for “social change” tech was not now and we should put the core project into standby.
+
+This AGM was a bit of a pantomime. But I got though it by biting my toung. After this I forcefully laid out agen the need to put the core project into standby as it clearly had no hope of working and we would just be wasting resources till the time was ripe and the #dotcon lost there shine. 
+
+This was the start of R. not addressing issues as a BLOCK in the face of this I took some time off,  I got back to find after working with our “new volunteer” M for a few weeks that R had employed him as a member of visionontv using all the remaining share of P wages. The was clearly no process/agreement and a strong negative outcome against this expansion of the project. We see the clear split and open BLOCKING of process from here in. 
+
+The was no way R was going to address any issues so after some bad meetings we reached “agreement” that budget spend would be limited and R could carry on ONLY if he documented his failings as this was the value outside of “social work” by documenting the procees when we #rebooted we would not have to repeat it.
+
+Over the next few years he repeatedly reneged on this and pushed personal/privatised projects through the company, he ignored the limited budget and spent budget that was put aside each time the original limit funding exorsted reached. When it was obverse that the wages part of the project was going to be used up with nothing but social work outcomes I proposed that we stop the project early to put the remaining wages into the restart budget (as the tech fund was these for this) so we would be ready to move fast when the time came. Bad tempered BLOCKING meeting's with no outcome the remaining wages were spent on nothing and poured down the drain at this stage. I stopped my wages as I had proposed to R and M they did not
+
+A rearly bad outcome but also an opportunity, the was now a (non wages) core funding left to keep the servers/domains running as well as a small income from youtube advertising. It was finally time to put the project in sustainable standby. 
+
+A few years went by with personal projects and small core project happening. The time came a few years ago when the geek trust in the #dotcons started to go mainstream and even #fashernistas took note then a year ago this was a also a mainstream media issue. 
+
+It was time for the project to be pushed back in motion hah! Fab lets move. By this time as you could image the core crew were tired and a broken, the BLOCKING which had become a habit contained with its own inersher.  This fast #reboot was both slow and painful, I got the OMN part first step built and tried to roll it out to limited affect. Then came up with the idea of the exhibition as a core part of VOTV in that it would be another path to get the OMN tools built and used to handeal the opendata.  The actual exhibition was a no-brainer self standing external project.
