Yeah, true. There are quite a few  established alt media projects in 
the uk to make such a broader gathering interesting and useful. Having 
said that, I think it would still be worthy to reserve some space 
(dunno .. half a day, or some sessions) specifically focused to imc-uk 
in terms of its internal discussions and tech/website developments. 
But, a gathering bigger than the usual imcuk suspects to see how can 
different alt media projects in the uk collaborate I think it's a great 
idea.

Okydoky. I think end of September beginning of October would be a good 
time for such a meeting. Let's talk about it in the network list.
