Connecting Up 06
When: May 1-2 2006
Web: http://connectingup.cisa.asn.au
The South Australian State Government runs a conference for people involved in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the Not-for-profit and Community sector. The program emphasises the management and administration of ICT resources in these organisations.
The program of speakers includes:
- Hon Jay Weatherill, SA Minister for Families and Communities – The SA Government’s role in ICT in the delivery of community services
- Nicola Thompson, General Manager, ICT Hub, London
Joe Baker, Executive Director, Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN http://www.nten.org ), US
David Barnard, Executive Director, South African Non-Government Organisations Network (SANGONet) http://www.sangonet.org.za
Dr Simon Davey, Managing Director, Omega Alpha Limited (http://www.omega-alpha.com), Managing Associate, preponderate network (www.preponderate.net).
- Amith Nagarajan, CEO, Aptify Corporation, US.
"(I wonder if Mark Shuttleworth knows David Bernard?)"
This is an ideal opportunty to promote Ubuntu and other related projects:
- Ubuntu
- Software Freedom Day - September
- Linux Australia
Current actions
- [Done] Register for confernce and book booth.
- [Done - 26 Mar] Requested 320 CDROMs from ShipIT. Not sure if they'll get here in time though.
- (Confirmed - 29 Mar) Shipit CD's have been sent. Wahoo.
- Seeking sponsorship from Linux Australia sponsorship for booth ($550) and attendance($220).
Discuss at AustraliaTeam meeting - 4 Apr 2006
- Contact other FLOSS minded people who may be going, to let them know we'll be there.
- Prepare display material.
Observations
- This is an annual conference, and I only thought of going quite late. It would be good to think about what can be done for future years, and start planning. eg. Contacting the organisers about getting a speaker from Ubuntu/Canonical or Lunux Australia and the LUG's
Other Suggestions
- Have a visitors book at the booth.
- Blog the event - particularly if you can do it live.
- Show how it can save organisations real money. (Who in Adelaide had Ubuntu partner points?)
- (Put your thoughts/ideas here or on the AustralianTeam/Meetings page.)
Computer Training
(5 Apr 2006) The WEA (Worker's Education Association, Adult Education) of South Australia has just sent out their April-June Course guide, and I thought that I'd puruse the computer courses and see what was on offer.. while there was no Ubuntu or Linux training on offer there were the following computing courses on offer.

A Brief Introduction
Currently, Paul works on Linux systems for the Adelaide company, Robway Crane Safety Systems. In past lives he has worked with large SQL databases (education), been a Unix/Linux System Administrator(defence), and developed network software(startup). Oh, yeah and he also studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Adelaide.
He is also involved in LinuxSA (The South Australian Linux User Group, http://www.linuxsa.org.au) and has given presentations on topics of personal interest, ranging from distributed computing, embedded Linux and 'git'.
He enjoys having a local public library that he can walk to, although he has to bring his own software as they are yet to appriciate the benefits of Free ad Open Source.

He is also working on Linux 2.6.x support for Compulab's ARMCore-GX (system on a board). This embedded system uses the Intel's XScale PXA255 processor. Cross platform development is done on both Intel i686 and PowerPC (Mac Mini) platforms (thanks to Ubuntu!)
