| 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 (http://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 === Actions === * [Done] Register for confernce and book booth. * [Done] Requested 320 CDROMs from ShipIT. (26 Mar) * [Confirmed] Shipit CD's have been sent (29 Mar) * [Arrived] Wahoo! (8 Apr) * [Done] Discuss at AustraliaTeam meeting (4 Apr 2006) * [Done] Seeking sponsorship from Linux Australia sponsorship for booth/attendance. * [Done] Sponsorship confirmed (6 Apr) * [Done] Receive funds * [Done] Pay for registration and booth * '''Report to AustralianTeam meeting on 11 Apr 2006''' (AustraliaTeam/Meetings) * [Missed] Prepare an A4 promotional speil for conference handbook (was due 19 April). * Make contact with * Other FLOSS minded people who may be going, to let them know we'll be there. * Local volunteers * Conference Speakers (or their offices) * Booth * Theme? * 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 * It costs AU$250 to put something into the delegate package... not in the budget, maybe next year. === 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 == === Possible Ubuntu Training Courses === (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.
