Hi Everyone,

 

Well, get ready for more updates as we can now countdown very quickly the days left to the Puliima 2009 National Indigenous Language and Information Communication Technology Forum (affectionately known as just ‘Puliima’) to be held in Melbourne Australia on the 1st and 2nd April.

 

The Puliima Message Stick has travelled far and wide all over Australia to inform everyone about Puliima and the response has been really good.

 

So What’s Happening at Puliima 2009 so far

 

Presentation’s from New Zealand, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland have been received covering topics ranging from:

 

·         Marvin 3D Character Animation for creating Language Multimedia resources

·         Photography

·         Audio Recording – best practise standards and equipment

·         Publishing resources

·         Sharing Culture – education, culture & language  in a e-learning environment

·         Best Practises in using Technology for Language Workers

·         Miromaa & Beyond – funny enough not presented by us J

·         Plus much more

 

There will be plenty of opportunities for networking and catching up, we are looking at organising a Pre-Conference get together at the Koori Heritage Trust and a FREE Wednesday night dinner.
