[Imc-g8-2005] accomodation for Indy volunteers - task distribution for G8 stuff

[Tony]

I can take on this with some one helping with some text (planet?) - 
would be a great opportunity as variant get out far and wide in art 
colleges etc that could lead to some energetic vollunteers...

Ulla - do you have a direct contact for the ad - or i could just go 
through <variant at ndirect.co.uk> - and do you know anything about the 
sizes of the ad - is it likely to be free - etc

Do we want a direct call out for vollunteers or specific need - or 
info about indymedia...

Cheers tony
