Forum Report 17-5-03

Education IT Conference - 5th April 2003
The ‘Connecting IT to Learning’ conference was highly successful, thanks to all who came and took part in the discussions about how to put computers to use, helping people access both formal and informal education. A report, including videos of the speakers is now on-line.

BCAN Expansion
BNDfC have agreed to fund a further 7 ‘nodes’ of our BCAN or wireless network. These will be installed over the next 2 months, giving new organizations access to the network and extending it’s coverage to new area’s like Spital Hill and Verdon Street.

IT Support and plans for a Social Enterprise
We offer IT support to groups and individuals, but at the moment there is more demand than we can meet with volunteer time, so apologies if we have been slow in responding to any requests. We are working hard on proposals for a major new project, a Social Enterprise which will offer IT Support and also develop and maintain the BCAN to cover the whole of Burngreave. We hope this will be a key strategic initiative to increase the value individuals and groups in the area get from their computers. We are keen to build up a broad steering group for this project are holding a meeting to discuss these plans on May 27th, 6.30pm at Abbeyfield Park House for anyone who would like to learn more.

Network Training Workshops
A very successful workshop was held on Saturday 17th May at Abbeyfield Park House. 10 local people took part and with Alan Dawson's support some participants upgraded equipment they had brought with them and others worked on recycled pcs donated to BITPart, turning them into wireless routers for the Burngreave network.

We Need You
You can find out more about our work, and comment on it or anything else that’s happening in the area at our new, interactive website, www.burngreave.net.

If you are interested in IT, or would like to offer some time supporting others in the area, or would like to attend one of our network training workshops please get in touch with Nicholaus Hall, BITPart c/o 12 Burngreave Rd, S3 9DD. E-mail nicholaus@burngreave.net Telephone 0114 2728008.
