[Imc-uk-network] [Imc-london] reporting climate camp london

[jagmad at riseup.net]

During the April 1st G20 at London Bridge and the Bank I sent some MMS
pics with text to the reporting phone number provided at around 11am but
they did not appear. For that reason I think it is far better to be able
to publish straight to the site whenever possible, rather than rely on an
intermediary. Just a thought.

> The little flyers + published stuff will also have info on submitting

> in other places, as well as publishing via the mobile version of indy
> london which is currently live but beta testing.

>
> As with previous years there's also a 'documenting the camp' group.
