At the Transition Cabaret on Saturday evening, to be hosted by Matt Harvey, James Marriott from pioneering arts and activism organisation Platform will be one of the performers, telling stories from his recent experiences walking the oil pipeline that brings oil from the Caspian Sea to Northern Europe.

The 2012 Transition Network conference will see her taking two roles, firstly launching, on the Friday evening, Transition Free Press formally into the world, and secondly co-ordinating the social reporting of the conference. Can such an event self-organise and document itself? How can those unable to attend be kept in touch as the event unfolds? What does the launch of a new quarterly Transition newspaper look like? On your behalf, dear reader, we asked Charlotte those very questions:
