Chekhov Feeney just did a good piece on RTE1 Livelive - explained the whole Indymedia thing, etc. Can't make it up to Indymedia unfortunately - exams start next week. Good luck anyway.

Sorry for the short notice, but I won't be at the indy centre tonight. I've got ~6 months of projects to hand up by tomorrow evening.
There's some free software Thing on though at about 17:30, so if others could go along, this is possibly the free software highlight of the event. Map : http://www.indymedia.ie/graphics/map.jpg timetable : http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=3D64293
(Malcolm, how's it going in there?)
Tomorrow evening, I may be along since my deadlines should be passed by then. IIRC there'll be some TV station journalists there, so it'd be good to have a presense.
Here's the flyer source (scribus) and pdf, and an encapsulated postscript of the ifso logo: http://ifso.info/tmp/ifso-fs-leaflet-05.sla http://ifso.info/tmp/ifso-fs-leaflet-05.pdf http://ifso.info/tmp/ifso-logo.eps
Some printers don't print the edges correctly because the text goes very close to the edge of the paper, so if printing a batch, test one first.

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.
