[Imc-g8-2005] [Fwd: [resistg82005] Cheap Housing in Edinburgh and Keeping ACE open longer for G8 activities]

Thu May 12 15:00:00 PDT 2005

Yes, it would be good if there would be enough indymedia volunteers to 
staff ACE for maybe a day a week. Also there are lots of computers lying 
around to be used, when the subtenant moves out we could ask for connecting 
them in the back room, as there is no room in the front at the moment.

Also ACe is happy to have high-speed internet and further phonelines 
installed, it would be good if someone could help me with this, in case we 
agree on this, we could start on it hopefully quite early.

We would also need to cooperate with the person who brought the computers 
(all Macs) along and previously looks after the computer.
