Puliima 2009 National Indigenous Language and Information Communication Technology Forum
Koori Heritage Trust and William Angliss Institute Conference Centre, Melbourne, Australia
1st and 2nd April 2009
[UPDATE 11/2/2009
Puliima have announced that they have limited travel funds to be able to assist people, especially Indigenous people from North Queensland and Victoria, to attend. E-mail puliima2009@acra.org.au with your request ]
This is a joint production from the Arwarbukarl Cultural Resource Association Inc (ACRA), and the Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages (VACL) .
“Our goal is to create a learning environment that not only exposes language workers to the various ICT support available to them, but also provides them with skills that will enable them to forge ahead in their language reclamation work”
There’s still time to register, to exhibit relevant information and to give presentations. Check on the Puliima website for more information.
This year they are showcasing material on Marvin 3D Character Animation, photography, audio recording , publishing resources, education, culture & language in a e-learning environment, and other general technology for language workers, including Miromaa.
FollowHere at Endangered Languages and Cultures, we fully welcome your opinion, questions and comments on any post, and all posts will have an active comments form. However if you have never commented before, your comment may take some time before it is approved. Subsequent comments from you should appear immediately.
We will not edit any comments unless asked to, or unless there have been html coding errors, broken links, or formatting errors. We still reserve the right to censor any comment that the administrators deem to be unnecessarily derogatory or offensive, libellous or unhelpful, and we have an active spam filter that may reject your comment if it contains too many links or otherwise fits the description of spam. If this happens erroneously, email the author of the post and let them know. And note that given the huge amount of spam that all WordPress blogs receive on a daily basis (hundreds) it is not possible to sift through them all and find the ham.
In addition to the above, we ask that you please observe the Gricean maxims:
Be relevant
That is, stay reasonably on topic.
Be truthful
This goes without saying; don’t give us any nonsense.
Be concise
Say as much as you need to without being unnecessarily long-winded.
Be perspicuous
This last one needs no explanation.
We permit comments and trackbacks on our articles. Anyone may comment. Comments are subject to moderation, filtering, spell checking, editing, and removal without cause or justification.
All comments are reviewed by comment spamming software and by the site administrators and may be removed without cause at any time. All information provided is volunteered by you. Any website address provided in the URL will be linked to from your name, if you wish to include such information. We do not collect and save information provided when commenting such as email address and will not use this information except where indicated. This site and its representatives will not be held responsible for errors in any comment submissions.
Again, we repeat: We reserve all rights of refusal and deletion of any and all comments and trackbacks.
