[Imc-g8-2005] Leith studio WAS re transport meeting minutes

[zcat at ametrika.com]

Ulla
http://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/g8radio  is the new list in cse u didnt know
good to send this type of info to there! 

I was under the impression that the Leith studio was £150 so its double 
now!??
we would not want more than 1 stream from there
I dont know what to say as at present we have no budget but that may change 
and if the budget is £500 I would want 1/2 to go to having a seperate room 
in the media center so I would say £500 is not on the cards for Leith alone 
and if no stream from there in my opinion no point in having it. also I 
would say as indymedia and other radio collectives we dont really need 
outside technical support.
um correct me if im wrong but they are not broadcasting during the G8 so how 
would we participate ? since none of th radio collectives will be there 
before the 25 of june at the earliest
these are only my views and questions !

Fortunatly, somwhere between chance and mystery lies imagination,
the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that
people keep trying to reduce it or kill it altogether.
