You will see photos from the Indymedia centre elsewhere on this site, but you have to see it to believe it yourself. The place is beaming with energy and supportive, DIY media culture. Workshops, screenings, photo exhibits, literature and free software abound.

The Centre has space for far more people than were there yesterday and today. Still everyone got together for the screenings, spread out for chatting and networking, and got into groups again for workshops in media and technology.

I'm typing this message running the free GNU/Linux CD which the Irish Free Software Organisation (IFSO) folks kindly gave me before I left today. Free Software! No software patents! Woohoo! :-)

The Undercurrents video last night, and JD's screening today, were a brilliant mix of news from struggles and actions, parodies and some official corporate videos which could just as well have been parodies as well.

Anyone who can make it to Dublin in the coming days and has any interest at all in alternative media and people's struggles can't miss this.
