Burngreave IT Partnership
Aims and Objectives

Learn Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects, Video Editing Without Leaving Your Home....

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:32:31 +0000

We're launching in the future online learning for people in Burngreave who want to learn:

Photoshop - Illustrator - Indesign - Video Editing - Creating Video Commercials using After Effects and more.

This is an amazing way of learn. The learner will be able to see my desktop, and see what actions I am doing, hear me talk as I show, step by step how to design flyers, posters, magazine layouts, using video editing tools and learn Industry Standard software.

I know there are courses out there but they cost too much. The course I am running will be a charge of only 5 pound per person for a 4-6 weeks lessons. If anyone in Burmgreave is interested then please email me at:

LTSP Workshop at MATILDA

Sun, 28 May 2006 12:49:50 +0100

I recently participated in a sheffield hacklab workshop on setting up Linux Terminal Server based services at the MATILDA social centre in Sheffield.

We installed SUSE 10.1 Linux on a relatively ancient but serviceable dual processor 1 Ghz PIII 1GB RAM 2x 18GB SCSI HDD server.

SUSE 10.1 installed without a hitch ( as is to be expected from a Linux distro these days.)

The latest version of LTSP, LTSP 4.2 is pretty magnificent. The documentation is well written and easy to follow, and we configure a few simple networking services ( DHCP, TFTP, NFS, XDMCP and etherboot, with the help of http://rom-o-matic.net/ ), and we have a working LTSP server built, and a skipped compaq deskpro 6350 SFF Pentium II PC with 32Mb RAM acting as thin client.

Migrating Education to an Open Source Desktop

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 11:00:00 +0000

in http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2005-Jan/4115.html there are some well thought out the difficulties and steps in migrating an educational establishment to a Linux desktop.

"Trinity is looking at a 3 - 4 year migration, we went dual boot with win98 over the summer and ironing out all the major issues with the clients took us through to October, when they start being used for formal lessons within the next few weeks I'm sure a whole load of other issues will crop up as well.

Community Library

Community Library

Register and Share!

Register your details with http://library.burngreave.net and start to build an online community library for Burngreave and Sheffield.

The Distributed Library Project is an experiment in sharing information and building community in Sheffield and initially in the Burngreave Area.

Unfortunately, the traditional library system doesn't do much to foster community. Patrons come and go, but there is very little opportunity to establish relationships with people or groups of people. In fact, if you try to talk with someone holding a book you like - you'll probably get shushed. The Distributed Library Project works in exactly the opposite way, where the very function of the library depends on interaction.

How does it work?

Create an account, then list the books and videos that you own. You will then have access to the multitude of books and videos available in other people's collections. You can search for specific authors or titles, browse individual collections, find nearby users, or find people who like books in common with yours. You will have access to user-written reviews and have the opportunity to write your own.

If the owner of a book or video you're interested in has time for you to pick it up, you can check out items for a 2, 7, 14, or 30 day period (at the owner's discretion). Returning books late will get you negative feedback, while returning books promptly will get you positive feedback. You are never under any obligation to lend an item if you don't feel comfortable doing so.

How do you manage trust?

While this is a community site based on good will, we have an ebay-style feedback system for managing trust. Lenders have the opportunity to leave positive or negative feedback for borrowers when an item is returned. These positive or negative points contribute to an overall "score" which lenders can use to gauge the trustworthiness or responsibility of a borrower. Lenders can also leave comments along with the points to be more specific.
