[Grants] Grant Application from Pauline Clague for Online Indigenous Womens Possum Skin Cloak Making Workshops

[Kathy Reid]

While this sounds like a very worthwhile activity in ensuring the 
preservation of Indigenous knowledges, and in creating social capital in 
Indigenous communities, I'm struggling a little to draw the connection 
with open source, open access and open culture. For example, will this 
online platform be an open access platform built on open source 
technology? Would the materials in the platform be available under an 
open access license? Would the materials be in Language - aiding 
Language preservation efforts? How would this project build re-usable 
assets for the Australasian open source community? How might this 
project help ensure greater participation and access to open source 
communities and their benefits for Indigenous peoples? How would this 
project help to de-colonise the Australian open source community?

Those are the linkages I would expect to see in a Linux Australia grant 
application.

With kind regards,

Kathy Reid
