[imc-melbourne-work] text for independent media pamphlet for G20

[and]

Oh yeah, on that.
EngageMedia recently launched it's beta site, so go check it out and  
tell your friends about it. I will try and post something to the site  
about it soon. I was hoping that with the new site Mim would be up  
for pulling in the rss feed, hopefully oceania will do the same.

Cheers.
And.
