Following copied from an email sent on 17/04/09:

What was in 2007 two spaces: Be the Media and the Cybertent would be one single space in 2009. The team would be made up of those who have previously done the BGG and also the same space at the Camp for Climate Action as well as HacktionLab.

Space

The space would be a largish tent providing sufficient space to have the new improved suite of BW computers in one part alongside a stall of alternative media videos and information as a space for discussions, debates and workshops; these latter we are currently working on defining.

We have currently ordered the following from the BGG:

  • Up to 30' x 30' army style tent of a dark canvass, similar to the 2007 Be the Media tent at the BGG.
  • 8 trestle tables
  • 16 chairs

Bristol Wireless also has the following:

  • 2 trestle tables
  • 12+ lightweight aluminium chairs.
  • 6m x 4m lightweight 'party' tent.

We could also do with ordering the following from the BGG:

  • Matting
  • Wooden pole for wireless mast

Workshops & debates

Power

The space would be powered again by Magrec, but this time would have the additional support of Sam Rossiter and his wind generator, as opposed to Ray-Mundo, who is not available this year.

Internet

Internet connectivity for the space would be provided by a dedicated satellite dish separate from that of any required for the site connectivity described in item 1.

Cinema

Finally, VisionOn.TV, the new project of Undercurrents would be on board with their World's smallest cinema to show grass roots films and also to take part in the running of workshops.

Current actions

ACTION: Jean to confirm Mike's request for the BGG to source a 30'x30' army-style marquee along with eight trestle tables and 16 chairs.

ACTION: Mike & Sean to provide full crew numbers to Jean.

ACTION: Mike to liaise with Clive, Sam R and Sam H over power provision for space.

ACTION: Mike to liaise with VisionOn.TV as to their involvement and ticket and crew requirements.

ACTION: Mike, Sean and Dave to provide a list of proposed debates and workshops for the space: Jean could these be included in the BGG official programme and on the web? If so, when is the deadline for their inclusion?
