Other Business

New business for next meeting: collaborative website rewrite using the wiki (Added to "Previous Business: Readable Website")
Alternate sites (locations) for protests. Private property issues, looking for public space protests. No PLI. Look at other protest groups and use google maps and street view for this. Pedestrian flow. PurpleFae can wiki this.
re looking at other locations http://www.efa.org.au/Campaigns/may28/ from 1999 may be a good place to start looking at, we might consider the state library in Adelaide next time
Before we do, Val made contact with the manager from The Living End, they aren't touring and have no big obligations in February. Val'll look more into the legislation of having entertainment at public assemblies before going much further on this.
Discussion of some items already on future agenda :)
