[imc-melbourne-work] iBurst card for G20 organising

[Liz Turner]

Rahima needs to be in on this discussion, as does Bryan the dude at RMIT 
student union who knows how to hook up the computers in catalyst.

It was my understanding that the catalyst space actually HAS wireless, so 
this issue that has been difficult for a while, is no longer an issue.. but 
I could be missing something?

A-Lo, I think two spaces will be better than one, especially because of size 
issues with the van. There may well be quite a few people who want to do 
independent media stuff.

Is Rahima on this list? Am I out of some crucial loop? If she's not on the 
list, she has a lot of info and should be, as she has been organising the 
RMIT G20 media space stuff.

Phoenix, I don't reckon it should be a financial priority for Indymedia to 
donate $366 to purchase this iBurst. If there ends up being a decision to 
prioritise the purchase of this thingi, it will need to be raised methinks.

Thanks.
