One thing I'm keen to do for example would be a 'learn about Linux' workshop where you get to take away an old machine with Linux on it. We did this in Bristol and it was quite successful in getting people involved, especially those from economically, socially disadvantaged backgrounds or those from black and ethnic minorities.

0n from that I think we could do more of this kind of thing based on very lightweight tech, media activism, using the web to publish your own news, but trying to keep a focus on it being general so as to not isolate members of the community who aren't activists, and even, horror of horrors, read the Daily Mail!...] AS

• making the welcoming of new members a priority
