Hi

 From the website, it's not clear which site has the synchrotron (at 
least I can not see it).

Is this open day in VIC or NSW?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for your congratulations!

Per your similar question on Mastodon [1], the videos will be up in the 
coming weeks, and will be announced through the usual channels.

In the meantime, you can find EO2023 videos on YouTube [2] and on the LA 
mirror [3].

Regards,
Kathy Reid

HI All,

I wanted to apply for the grant to help run the Research Software Engineer
Asia Australia unconference.

I saw this but not other information:

Apply for a grant

Each year, we make available funds for Grants to help further the Linux and
free and open source software communities in Australasia. Read more about
Grants.

https://linux.org.au/about-us/

Is that because grants have been closed?


If not, what is the best way to apply for the grant?


Thanks in advance!


Regards,

Rowland Mosbergen

The 2024 Linux Australia Grants program has not yet been opened.  Council is
in the process of finalising some additions to the guidelines document which
will assist those preparing applications involving hardware purchases.  We
expect to complete this process soon.  The grant program will open as soon
as that happens (which will hopefully be within the next few weeks).

Regards
  jonathan

Thanks Jonathan - I thought it was already finished so this is good news!

Subject: [Linux-aus] June 1st Flounder meeting - ML hack day
Message-ID: <2197988.Icojqenx9y@cupcakke>

https://flounder.linux.org.au/events/flounder-jun-2024-ml-hack-day/

June ML Hack Day.

A day of learning about Machine Learning by trying stuff out.

I have a LicheePi4A which has an NPU built in and a server with a NVidia card 
that I can give access to. But I encourage other people to try to have some 
hardware suitable for their own use, a minimum would be a 16G of DDR4 RAM (as 
a rough guide a system with DDR4 has adequate CPU performance) and 16G of free 
storage space. Hardware for ML is a really good thing, ideally a GPU with 8G 
of RAM or more but you can do some useful stuff with CPU if you are patient.

Meeting will be at http://b.coker.com.au. No need to register just click on 
the link on the day.

Meeting officially opens at 12pm Melbourne time (02:00UTC) on the 1st of June. 
A little earlier than usual, but if people from Perth miss the first hour they 
can join us for the later parts of the meeting as it?s not a formal meeting.

Here are some links that are worth reviewing before the meeting (not required 
but recommended):

https://www.tensorflow.org/lite ? libraries for doing ML on small devices 
(Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi).

https://huggingface.co/ ? HuggingFace AI community with models to download.

https://github.com/EleutherAI/the-pile ? The Pile of open training data.

https://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/machine-learning ? Debian Science 
machine learning packages.

https://wiki.debian.org/MachineLearning/Tensorflow

https://github.com/mitutitu16/Awesome-Mobile-Machine-Learning Links to useful 
resources.
