There is also a G8 2005 group. It is probably best to post protest/demo/very G8 pics there and anything more about the Live8 concerts, Sail8 and similar things here.

RULES / GUIDELINES
• Tag photos with 2 tags: "live8" and also the city / location of the image.
• Submit just your best. We'll see the rest in your photostream.
• 10 pics per day is a guideline to help you focus on your most powerful images, but if you've many more stunning & evocative photos, then submit them all.
• Don't submit almost identical photos (e.g. same subject, similar view).
• Try to give a short description - tell us what you're seeing & what you're feeling.
• Capture the build-up, the implementation and the aftermath of the event...
• Feel free to discuss in the group forum.

The G8 political leaders (official G8 website) are coming to Gleneagles, Scotland to discuss what to do with the world.

Live8 is a series of demonstrations, concerts and activities to raise awareness and convince the G8 to do something about ending Debt and poverty in Africa.

From the Live8 website:

Every single day 30,000 children die because they live in extreme poverty.

On Wednesday 6th July, the eight leaders of the most powerful and richest countries in the world will gather for a summit in the town of Gleneagles in Scotland.

These men can make poverty history and change the future for hundreds of millions of people – but they will only do it if enough of us tell them to.

That’s what LIVE 8 – The Long Walk To Justice is all about, and that’s why we want your voice, not your money.
