[Imc-wales] discussions at climate camp

[kjm04 at aber.ac.uk]

I'm no techie, but I've always been up for contributing to indymedia
cymru. Given our limits on mumbers and tech capabilities, I'd go along
with the idea of a page on the UK site as being the most realistic option
for grtting something going :-) Kelvin

p.s. talking of not being a techie, anyone know how I can change my email
address on this list to my cat address - above

> The network of local indymedia collectives (that is the collectives that

> host this meeting over a weekend and invite any activists in Wales who
> want to form a collective to come along.
