At the Hori-zone eco-village outside Stirling an Indymedia centre was needed for activists to be able to send reports, news, images and video to Indymedia and other alternative media sites as well as to stay in touch with their groups and friends. As the Stirling camp was the nearest site to Glen Eagles and as many ativists were camped there, it was especially important to have a good centre of communications on the site during the 6-8 July during the blockades and summit itself. There was to be open Internet access using, where possible, Free /Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) and also (at the behest of Indymedia UK) some "media machines" for those wishing to download and edit photographs and video and who did not have their own machine to do so. A further initial requirement was that it should run (where possible) on renewable energy sources.

Another short description will be published in the Routledge Media Handbook
