REFRESH, cydn continues with its program of refreshing its computer platform at cydn centres.
Hopevale, Napranum and Wujal Wujal have so far been visited by cydn techs for install of the computers with 19’ flat screens etc. (see picture below). Other communities now refreshed include Coen, Umagico and Injinoo. Lockhart River is next in line.
Also as part of the community refresh program, cydn continues to increase bandwith to cydn centres. In a number of communities users are benefitting by the greater online capacity for web and email access. Coen, Aurukun, Hopevale and Umagico have all had their respective digital “pipes” turned on higher in the past two months – and looking at the traffic volumes, the links will probably need to go higher still.

Design and Online
For Clevanna Fagan (see picture) its about design and being online...
Clevanna has been hard at it to assist the Laura Festival. Having already designed its banner, Clevanna is now working on the poster for the Festival.
But there is more,
Clevanna who is in her training year out of Djarragun College has chosen to do her work with Balkanu’s Traditional Knowledge Revival Pathways (TKRP) unit as she also starts her Multimedia Traineeship Certificate III this week also. And just to make things more interesting she’s doing the Qantam course online.
Clevanna with the rest of TKRP staff will be in Laura from 18th-21 June as part of the training week lead up to the Laura Festival to be to be held from Friday 22th June to Sunday 24 June.
CYDN supports Ms Fagan with the assistance of Optus and the Queensland State Government.
