MAWA COMPUTER CAMP
Join MAWA for our Computer Camp to learn more about your computer and have some fabulous software installed all in a fun, relaxed setting. Our workshop instructors, Reva Stone and Felix Jodoin, will work with you step by step to install Linux on your computer and teach you how to use it.
So . . . what exactly is Linux and why would I want to use it? Are you tired of expensive software? Oppressive operating systems? Continuous, expensive upgrades? Then join Felix Jodoin and Reva Stone for their exceptionally informative Introduction to Linux Workshop. Try out Ubuntu Linux and learn about the software applications it includes such as the office suite, the email client, the web browser, and image, video and audio editors. I'd like to use it . . . how do I install it on my computer? Follow up with the Linux Computer Camp where you will actually install Ubuntu Linux on your computer. You'll learn how to use Linux as a desktop operating system, and the applications it includes such as the office suite, the email client, the web browser, and even image, video and audio editors. Works great on older computers – you'll be amazed at how much snappier they become and how much more time you have because you don’t have to do Spyware & Virus cleanup.

RE: Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, 2007
As you may be aware, the 2007 Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show will feature the work of 26 Canadian craft makers. The project to manage this participation is being led by the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Conseil des métiers d'art du Québec.
We have already been through the first stage of jurying for this project, and the Philadelphia jury has so far identified 20 Canadian participants. The jury for the Philadelphia show is seeking further applications to balance the craft media to be represented at the 2007 show.
The Philadelphia jury has indicated that they would like to see more work by basket makers, makers of wearable fibre art, and goldsmiths. We have therefore agreed to seek further submissions from Canadian craftspeople and this letter and accompanying documents are to invite craftspeople working in these media to make application.
Attached to this memo is information about the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show and an application form. We have set a deadline for receipt of application and images of November 6, 2006, if you wish to be considered in this second round of the search. Only craft makers working in the three identified areas should apply. Those who have applied previously and not been accepted will not be reconsidered, and therefore should not re-apply.
If you have questions, or require further information, please contact:
