AutismSA strengthening communities and skills for people with Asperger's

ASlan Computers

AutismSA, with the support of Community Benefit SA, are offering a unique computer training opportunity for people with Asperger's. To achieve this, AutismSA has teamed up with two very different community organisations to run a free training program for people who may have difficulty participating in other formalised training environments.

ASlan 11

The result is an outstanding training course where participants learn real-world skills in computer construction alongside a fun social event. Participants will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned as well as to interact with peers in the broader community who share common interests.


The printers rang..

Yes the printers rang late last week and I need to go pickup the first test run. Then we can decide what stickers we want to print propper and do a bulk run. Its been a while in the making =)


The printers haven't called yet!

We've been talking about getting stuff printed for some time. Including but not limited to more shirts, ID cards, stickers and other stuff.

Its been really good to see the t-shirts roll out recently. Last week we got the ID cards printed and laminated. However I was hoping to get some stickers ready today...

The printers haven't called yet! Perhaps next meeting =)


Slides and other goodies from the Community Wireless Miniconf

Well I've finally landed back home after a little break after the conference. I've also put the slides and other materials up here.


Linux.Conf.Au 2008, Community Wireless Miniconf, The Miniconfs make the news...

Well it had to happen sooner or later, I'm pleased to see that the media is slowly waking up to the importance of the Linux and FOSS community along with the up coming Linux Conference...

It was nice to see the news on ITWire; linux.conf.au: Getting the smalltalk on the road.

Hopefully we will see more interesting news pop up on ITWire and elsewhere in the media.

Registrations are still open for Linux.Conf.Au, but the early bird discounts have finished.
