After I've arrived in Bamako airport at 3am this morning thanks to a three hour delay of the plane, this first intresting thing was the temperature: 19 degrees Celsius!
With the help of two Attac activists from Finnland I found a place to stay for a short night and finanlly hooked up with the french indymedia lot today.

They have secured a house in the quarter Hippodrome in the east of Bamako with the association Geekcorps, an NGO which works with Internet stuff and open publishing in Bamako, funded by USAID.
From here various preparations are done, including for this matter the IMC Bamako, that will include a cinema.
We will try to fly more Indymedia delegates in from South Afrcia and Nigeria as we have in the last miniute secured some funding from a german foundation to do so.
It is all a big chaos of course with over 10.000 people expected to come to the WSF.
