From jwoithe at just42.net Wed Mar 16 22:36:31 2022 From: jwoithe at just42.net (Jonathan Woithe) Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2022 22:06:31 +1030 Subject: [Grants] 2022 Linux Australia Grants program is open Message-ID: <20220316113631.GA22651@marvin.atrad.com.au> Hi everyone Linux Australia is pleased to announce the opening of the 2022 grants program in support of free and open source systems and communities in Australia and New Zealand. Funding can be sought by members of Linux Australia for open source, open data, open government, open education, open hardware and open culture projects. Applications for funding will close at 23:59 on 4 September 2022 anywhere on earth with grant awards finalised by the end of September unless the grant funds are exhausted earlier. However, work funded through the program may continue past this date. Project timelines are negotiable, but in most cases projects should aim to be completed by the end of 2022. For more information and to apply, first log in to the Linux Australia website at https://linux.org.au/ Then click on the "Grants" banner or go to https://linux.org.au/grants-program/ If you have questions about the Grants program or would like to discuss ideas, please get in touch with the Linux Australia Council (council at linux.org.au). We look forward to reading your submissions. Jonathan Woithe (on behalf of the Linux Australia Council) From admin-team at linux.org.au Wed Mar 30 11:11:35 2022 From: admin-team at linux.org.au (Linux Australia Website) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 00:11:35 +0000 Subject: [Grants] Grant Application from Lyndsey Jackson for Big Sand Band - Regional SA Message-ID: Your Email Address: jackson.lyndsey at gmail.com Project name: Big Sand Band - Regional SA Aim of the project: Hi - I would love it if you could start by taking a look at this link https://www.canva.com/design/DAE8LMdaKYg/_BZAserMgUBU1QLju4LOBQ/view?utm_content=DAE8LMdaKYg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink#1 I am working in Regional SA and my aim is to get new digital projects out into the regions to increase exposure and experience around the tech industry and skills. As a volunteer (and also able to put some paid work time) I am helping with a new festival in my region called FLAME (fire, lights, music, arts, entertainment) that will be held every two years. I've been able to use my networks to bring some new digital artists to the area, and to organise a panel to speak. Getting tech onto the agenda has been really welcome, and I'm going to be able to attract a lot of really great people and conversations on how we get more done in small towns. This project is using open source technology, and being open about the research and learnings. We want regional communities to be inspired by art, to create new ways that performers can create reach, and encourage regional leaders to think differently and collaboratively about technology in people's lives. The FLAME Festival will be held on May 27-29 - the Big Sand Band video launch and the community panel will be held on May 28. Estimated cost breakdown of the project: This application is to enhance Sally Coleman's participation in the festival and to pay her time to create community artifacts that others can share. We can have Sally appear remotely - but to be able to bring her to the town will really create a special experience - especially for young people. Flights $400 Accommodation $450 Car hire $380 Per diems $210 Videographer hire $500 Video editing $500 Total $2,440 Project team details: Lyndsey Jackson is the lead volunteer and agitator trying to bring something cool to her small town, and to build ideas that can be shared by others. Lyndsey has been working with open source technologies for over 15 years, and involved in many communities such as drupal, govhack, open ag. Lyndsey has previously been the Chair of EFA and is committed to digital rights. I've also spoken at linux conf twice :) Sally Coleman is an artist and music producer. Her vision for bringing art and technology and touring to regional Australia is incredibly exciting. Sally is trying to create something special in an open and collaborative way. Sally is working with a team from Flinders University that are providing her with the tech to make this happen - they are backing her idea and helping to showcase in Adelaide. The FLAME Festival is being run by the Copper Coast Council and a large group of volunteers. The event organisers have a small budget and are looking to create an event that will be held ongoing every two years. For ease it will be proposed that funds will be auspiced through Council and then Linux Australia will benefit from their promotion and social media also. First Name: Lyndsey Last Name: Jackson Email Address: jackson.lyndsey at gmail.com A statement including a willingness to provide regular project updates on the project: I am very willing. You will hear all about this! It's going to be very cool. And, I recognise it is out of the box. In addition to getting much needed funds to bring this element to the community, I really want to demonstrate to regional towns that there is a large tech community or organisations and people that are willing and able to help with their aspirations. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
