I am available on the days, and would be willing to organise a

The cost of the community booth is $550 (for a 2x1m open style area), and
conference delegate fee is $200 (Not-for-profit sector).
It would also be fantasitic if a someone from the Linux Australia

Changing your World with Technology
- the Digital means to the Social End
1 - 2 May 2006

Information and communications technologies (ICT) are impacting
strongly on communities and the organisations that work with them.
Speakers from around Australia (as well as international speakers from
the UK, US, South Africa and New Zealand) will show you what you can
do to help change your 'world', whether it's a neighbourhood or a
nation, with the technologies of today and tomorrow. This is the
third in an annual national conference series, organised by Community
Information Strategies Australia (CISA) Inc www.cisa.asn.au
'Information and technology services for Australian communities'
2005 State Winner, PM's Community-Business Partnership Award
Conference Goals
* To provide a platform for innovative communities, businesses and
governments around Australia to share their experiences,
successes and lessons learned from programs and projects
designed to change their 'world', whether it be a
neighbourhood or a nation.
* To promote the social and economic benefits for disadvantaged
and isolated communities of access to affordable technology.
* To provide opportunities for like-minded not-for-profits,
communities, governments and businesses to build networks and
develop programs and projects.
* To create momentum towards a national approach to ensuring that
the technology capacity of community and not-for-profit
organisations allows them to effectively operate in the digital
world.
