Mikko Tuomela: Activities
This page lists some of my activities in different associations and other organizations.
Current Activities
- Tulkaa kaikki
- Tulkaa kaikki is a movement inside the Finnish church
- FinnQueer web magazine
- A web magazine founded by Olli Stålström in 1999, publishing articles about sexual and gender minorities, related social issues and also producing pdf books.
- Michigan Electronic Music Association (MEDMA)
- MEDMA organizes many parties at Necto Nightclub in Ann Arbor, with its own talented DJ's playing and also introducing other DJ's from Detroit and other cities. I have not yet been involved in actual organizing but I am an active member.
- School of Information Student Association (SISA)
- As a proud member of SISA, I get to experience the student activities and culture of School of Information!
- Student Organization for Information Analysis and Retrieval (SOIAR)
- The small group of students who chose IAR (I among them) got their own student association in 2010. I was happy to be among the founding members.
Past Activities
- Alternative Party
- I do not know if Alternative Party can ever be a "past activity" for me. Since 1998, I have been involved in visiting, organizing and advocating Alternative Parties - revolutionary computer art festivals and demoparties - and I also chaired the formal association behind it for years.
- Entropy
- The student club for electronic dance music, Entropy, was founded just a couple of years before I started my studies at Helsinki University of Technology. It gave me a chance not only to visit cool parties but also design flyers, websites and help organizing the events.
