[Linux-aus] Request for Grant from Linux Australia for Ubertweak
Date: 2006-09-12
Project Name: Ubertweak, http://ubertweak.org.au
Aim of Project: Ubertweak is a Christian camp for high school kids that
is run (at present) twice a year in Winter and Spring, and has been
running since 1996. Our parent organisation is Scripture Union
Queensland. We give the students a week of computer-related acitivities,
including exposure to licencing (such as the GPL), open source software
(they recieve a custom Knoppix Live CD) and many other things. See the
website for more information (there's quite a lot there!). Each year
the students are also given the collected results of the work on camp -
usually another two CDs and a DVD. As evidence of the work done on the
camp, we give packs to our sponsors, usually including the camp manual,
tshirt, the electronic materials (one to four CDs/DVDs). We also include
any sponsor's material in the distributed packs that is donated (totes,
pens, etc). Additionally, we place the sponsor's logo on our flyers and
advertising material (if desired), and on the website.
Person Responsible for Request: Elspeth Thorne, Director, Spring.
Request: Any sponsorship material is welcome, however, we would
appreciate assistance with transport costs. We need to transport
approximately 50 people to the camp site (in Toogoolawah, Queensland)
from Brisbane. The service we have used in previous years is
unavailable, so we are using an alternative bus service, which is
costing us approximately $400 above the budgeted figure. A grant to make
up this shortfall would be greatly appreciated.
