[OccupyComms] Anyone up for a visit to Brighton?

[Outreach]

Hi Jon and all!
Yes, there is the Occupy UK and Ireland website that is intended as 
info hub for the public and media:  http://occupyuk.info/   Get in 
contact with Nic <nic at oh-ay.org> and Phil Grimes <phil at technopepper.com> 
to get involved!
Also, a OLSX set up a forum for UK and Ireland discussions: 
http://www.occupyforum.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?16-UK-Occupations
For the communication amongst groups there is the wiki 
https://occupywiki.org.uk/wiki/Main_Page

One question to all, has anyone got the minutes to Sheffield? I can 
only find the ones for Saturday on the wiki 
https://occupywiki.org.uk/wiki/Sheffield/January_2012_Conference/Notes. 
Maybe I overlooked the email, but if not I think it would be great if 
they could be emailed to the mailing list after every conference. It is 
difficult to keep up otherwise. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I would also like to share one:

I think Chomsky hits the nail on its head.

All the best and keep up through the winter!
Nessa
