here

We're on 80 out of 250 votes needed - I know there's a lot of people who
do work with community artists and Free Software on this list. I'm
really hoping you can help me out, by voting, but also by spreading the
word a bit.

*Longer story: *


  Duct Tape University project for Do IT artists


Do IT, is a training course run by Community Arts North West for artists
to help them use low cost technology to spread the word about their work
and learn digital production skills. Following success of last year, the
good news is Do IT course - will happen this year too, watch for more
details.

Mick (that's me writing) is moving on to teaching new computing
curriculum at schools, starting a PGCE course in September. This summer
I'd like to do work on the resources for the Artists Do IT course.

We think we have come up with a great formula to help artists, small
business and people active in communities to pick up new skills in
getting their message across with social media and media production. And
here's a project to help spread the word -- Duct Tape University.

We need your help to make it happen! Please vote for it here.

ideas is to put all of the resources, activities and tools in one place.
All of these resources will have an open licence so that they can be
used and adapted by other trainers.
