Hallo!
Indymedia have a fantastic feature on the ESF, covering all the great
things that are going to happen, as well as huge amounts of stuff on
what has happened to balls-up the process over the past year.

I'd say I've been keeping my head down rather a lot recently! My
personal view is that I don't want to be associated with a process that
has been dominated by groups using the social forum concept as a figleaf
for their own agenda.
Note particularly the huge 'anti-war' march which has been set up for us
all to march behind - dammit, we could have had a huge London lantern
parade! Something vibrant, which said something about the world we wanted!
Although for those as wants to know -
"Needless to say the demo will be much more than the 'official' might
think or hope. Just like the official ESF venues have been surpassed by
the diverse efforts of the various autonomous spaces, the demo was never
going to be just a march from A to B. If you want colour and fun with an
edge, join the carnival forum everyday and keep close on the sunday.
Make sure you take a radio so you can dance to the same tune. Pass the
word."
