*Puliima 2011 National Indigenous Languages and Technology Forum*



Hi Everyone,



We would like to invite you to participate in the "Puliima 2011 National
Indigenous Languages Technology Forum" to be held at the State Library of
Queensland in Brisbane from Wednesday the 11th of May through till Friday
the 13th May 2011.

The conference will comprise of the following:

Tuesday 10th May

6pm evening pre-conference get together (for those that arrive early)

Wednesday 11th May

Puliima Day 1

Thursday 12th May

Puliima Day 2

Friday 13th May

Optional Events:

Indigenous Linguists Forum

Focus Workshops

The aim of the Puliima Forum is to bring together people from all over
Australia and overseas who are involved in Indigenous language projects and
communities to share skills and information on the use of a wide range of
technology to support their work. The event showcases a variety of
production tools, models and programs that support content production in a
range of mediums (sound, multi-media, image and print) and enables community
users to experience them first hand. It incorporates knowledge of
linguistics, educational programs and teaching methodologies as well as
legal, moral and cultural aspects of community language project development.

The 2011 Puliima Forum will run over three days, and *will include as an
Australian first, a separate forum for Indigenous linguists*, of which we
are pleased to say there is a growing number. We aim to allow the
participants to share their experiences and draft proposals to support
employment initiatives, at the same time establishing a supportive network
for ongoing contact.

This will be the third Puliima Forum, with the conference having been held
in Newcastle in 2007 then Melbourne in 2009 with over 200 people expected to
attend the 2011 Forum.

We are thrilled to be hosting Puliima 2011 once again and we encourage you
to participate to explore and share the many ways in which language is
either being revitalised or preserved in your area.
