Wifi
There is wifi but its very week. We can not livestream off it because it sucks.

Photos
Media team is working on getting stuff together for that please give them time and they will have something going for that soon.

Police
Police at the plaza are great. They came over and hung out with us and talked with us for a bit.

News Crews
News comes and goes as they please. Brent Frazier is my new favorite media person in the world.

Hi Alex. See my posts under General GA updates, in Nashville discussion.  PS: Maybe Re-title that discussion (if possible) to Activities discussion, or some such. I've answered some Police and Press questions per our GA this afternoon.

Also see my posts with a COMPLETE LIST of things to bring, posted in Nashville discussion, Needs for Occupiers thread.

Alex, have different locations around the Plaza been tested for a stronger Wi-fi signal?  Live-streaming would be great, but perhaps also important is immediate communication to the website/forums, etc. with updates from laptops. This could include GA results, problems that might occur that members and teams should quickly know about, immediate needs that may come up, etc.

There was also some concern in today's GA that the currently-occupied corner may not be visible enough overall.  I had a little trouble finding them, and so did several other people I spoke with. Just some thoughts on location before the occupying group gets much larger (easier to move sooner than later).

Another point that was agreed upon at today's GA:  All marches, movements, rallies, actions, GAs, etc. should originate at the Plaza. If meetings occur elsewhere, there should be some way to include and communicate with those staying at the Plaza (even if just one person has one other person's cell phone number or whatever).  Legislative Plaza is, after all, the Home Base for Occupy Nashville now.
