What was said

Some confusion over meeting venues, resulting from not having updated listing on the events wire. This is now resolved.

1) Technical
a) Static pages
Tash wants to put up a static page about photographers right, but can’t work out how to add pictures.
- Can link
- May be possible to embed with html
Added urgency to this following issue today
Tash to publish newswire article briefly mentioning issue today, adding the images to that. These can then be linked to from the static page.
Affected photographer’s email address to be forwarded to Notts address so that a solidarity email can be sent

b)Video
Where are we with this?
Tash created a video using Lowkey song and slideshow of images. Put this on YouTube – received notice warning of takedown over copyright issues (had checked before doing)
BTM to write up problems, liaise with Tash and send to the Hyperactive list

2) Bethemedia
Can be found at bethemedia.co.uk and bethemedia.org.uk
