[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.
