Placards
OK if people are feeling creative we need to start putting together the images for the placards for the protest. All images should be submitted as vector graphics (SVG format which is the default "Save As" format in Inkscape) so they will scale properly to be printed on A3.
You can download Inkscape which is a free vector graphics application (and industry standard software). It is incredibly powerful and available for Windows and Linux. Download page is here:

For some excellent video tutorials on using Inkscape please visit the following site:

If you want to generate images to upload to your image host of choice you will need to
Export them using the Export option under the File menu. This will export the image to PNG by default. You will then be able to link to them in your forum posts.
Here are some of the ads I have been using in AdWords to give people some ideas, we will need at least a dozen placard images:

Does anyone know if there are any Wifi services available at the Barbican Centre. I am thinking of taking a laptop for people to be able to sign the petition on the PM site at the protest, but we will need either a Wifi service or a 3G dongle so we can access the PM web site.
