> Indymedia Planning for G8 Scotland July 2005
>
> Some quick feedback from the Indymedia UK Network meeting that  
> happened last weekend re G8 and relevant links below. There will be a  
> proper email update very soon but this is just quick email :) We will  
> also produce a multi-lingual info pack soon, which will give some  
> background on the uk g8, the political context in uk/scotland and  
> current planning for indymedia coverage.
>
> Here are the main points:
>
> There will be a main indymedia centre in Edinburgh (location to be  
> kept quiet until later)
> There will be other media access points in other places - but this  
> depends on what happens regarding convergence spaces / campsites etc  
> (think of it a bit like the evian / geneva G8 in terms of the  
> challenge of things happening in different places).
> There will be some form of mobile media support vehicles.
>
> There will be an international media meeting to plan and prepare  
> alternative media coverage for the G8 - this will be in London  
> probably on 14/15th May. This will be wider than just existing  
> indymedia activists. There will be a imc specific meeting before that  
> in april, location and date tbc hopefully in scotland.
>
> We want to prioritise the following:
>
> Reporting issues (not just the timeline of street protest - this is  
> especially important this year beacuse the g8 here and the uk  
> governement is saying that the G8 is important to end poverty and  
> tackle climate change crisis etc etc).
> So we will be asking that indymedia collectives think how they can  
> produce content / features in advance of the July summit about the g8  
> related issues in their own countries (maybe with links to campaign  
> groups, maybe some groups would like to make statements about the g8  
> etc)
>
> Encouraging new people to join in making their own media.
> It is easy to make a imc centre place where indymedia and other  
> experienced media activists can do what they are used to doing (which  
> is what we achieved in london last october for the esf). But it is  
> harder to set up spaces that welcome new people and show them how they  
> can participate. So we would welcome help from people who have ideas  
> or who would be good at helping to run a media centre in this way.
>
> International Reporting + Co-operation
> We will ask that indymedia activists who will not come to scotland be  
> prepared to help report the G8 from their own countries. There will be  
> a clear set of communication channels and tools to help facilitate  
> this.
> There will probably also be G8 related events in other countries so  
> co-operation is requested in making these visable.
> Translation will also be important as we all know :)
>
> For international indymedia activists we would also like to have an  
> early indication of how many people would like to come to help report  
> the UK G8 in scotland - and if they bring any existing projects or  
> have any specific interest - eg video / radio
>
> OK - lots more to come soon, but just wanted to let you know the  
> basics for now - any ideas or thoughts please don't hesitate to get in  
> touch.
