Hi Rufus,

There is definitely going to be an Indymedia centre, public-access, in
central Edinburgh.  Just like everybody else, you are invited to use it
for independent media production.  You should be able to dump the best
chunks of any footage you get onto hard drive, share footage with
others, etc.  There will be a dispatch team set up to receive
information from the street and provide info and story assignments to
anybody who wants them, and you will be able to upload text, photos,
audio, and video to the web from the center.  There will also be mobile
media centres to help cover events outside of Edinburgh if necessary. 
It is also possible that we may set up a center in Glasgow if there is
enough interest in this.

So I guess I'm saying, please bring your camera.  If you've got any
other gear, like editing gear or computers, that you can contribute to a
common pool, please let us know by emailing this list.  If you have any
ideas or want to get involved in organizing coverage with the rest of
us, please join this email list by filling out the form at

See you in Edinburgh,
