Yo!
Called in last night. The place had gone a bit crazy with loads of continental protesters milling around. There seemed to be a little ambiguity over whether it should be a protest centre or a media centre.
When I arrived, there was a few "what to do if you get busted" flyers on our table and also someone had sticky-taped a "be a legal observer" list to our stand. I shifted the extra stuff off our stand, hung around for a while and then decided that the current crowd weren't that interested in what we had to say, so I headed off. I took a lot of the stuff with me just in case it got out of hand. I think I've left enough stuff for the rest of the conference.
Oh, and someone left a few miscellaneous CDs on our stand. They looked like a few different Linux live CDs (including an amusingly titled "damn small linux". I decided that they were probably legit so I left them on the stand.
Apparantly, there will be lots of journalists there today. Anyone going along should be careful to avoid our being lumped in with some of the more radical organisations attending. If we were to get widely thought of as an anti-globalization movement, I would recommend that we disbanded: we would likely do more harm than good to our cause.
Anyway, I'll go along on Sunday to pick up the rest of our stuff.
Good luck,
Malcolm.
