What's happening in UpStage at the moment: ******************** *UpStage for Educators: Friday 27 February*
UpStage cyberformer vicki smith will be running a walkthru session this Friday at the UnConference, part of the learn...@school conference in Rotorua, NZ. l...@s is the annual Information and Communication Technologies Professional Development event for educators, managers, providers and facilitators involved in the compulsory education sector in Aotearoa/NZ. Join in the fun on the Tutorial Stage <http://upstage.org.nz:8084/stages/Tutorial> at 0930 NZ time [find your local time at http://tinyurl.com/bzabbv] ******************** *Next open session: Wednesday 4 March, 8pm NZ time* The next open session in UpStage will take place from 8-9pm NZ time on Wednesday 4 March; find your local time here: http://tinyurl.com/bxk5ea This session will be primarily to announce the call for performances for the 090909 UpStage Festival, taking place on 9 September this year. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please try to come along to this session. It will be an opportunity to learn about 090909 and the call for proposals, and perhaps to meet potential collaborators. If you can't make the session, the call will be emailed out, there will be information on the web site, and there will be more open sessions. If you are a newbie and want to learn the basics of UpStage, you are welcome to come along to this session but be aware that the focus will be on 090909 rather than teaching you the ropes. You will still be able to get a good idea of what UpStage is and how it works. You can also come along to the walk-thru Vicki is running on Friday 27th (see above). Please reply to this email to request a guest log-in for the open session, which will be held at http://upstage.org.nz:8084/stages/swaray (you can click on this link to enter the stage as audience, without logging in). ******************** *Pilot Installation Project* UpStage is a server-side applcation - you don't install it onto your own computer, but access it via a web browser; the application sits on a central web server. If you want your own UpStage, which you can customise and control who has access to, then you need to install it onto a web server. At the moment, this is possible - but quite difficult. So the focus of our work on UpStage this year is to improve the installer package and documentation for doing this, and develop processes for supported installation. We are applying for funding in New Zealand to do this, and looking for organisations who may be interested in being part of an installation pilot. If your organisation is based in NZ and wants its own UpStage installation, please email [email protected] -- ____________________________________________________________ helen varley jamieson: creative catalyst [email protected] http://www.creative-catalyst.com http://www.avatarbodycollision.org http://www.upstage.org.nz http://www.writerfind.com/hjamieson.htm ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
