The National Computer Science School is running a petition about the newly written *National Curriculum for Technologies*. The Digital Technologies section of the draft Curriculum for Technologies is a *massive step in the right direction (w*hich is very unlike what normally happens). If enacted, it will equip Australian students with the skills they need; not just to become competent consumers of technology, but to design and create our shared technological future.

I have the same setup available to me, (Raspberry Pi, Motorola Atrix with dock), I just hadn't thought of integrating them. I will bring my set along, more has to be better. What cables will I need ? Crossover RJ45 ? USB A-A ? Also do I need to prepare the PI ? At the moment I can't get a SSH session into it unless I have also given it a video to display to. Presently running Debian. Anything else ?

Stringing together small independent blocks into pipelines you can build powerful multimedia applications doing minimal work. Come and learn some cool and wacky pipelines which do everything from creepy face tracking to watching streaming to YouTube without Flash. *My Raspberry Pi Laptop, Julien Goodwin* Combined a Raspberry Pi with a docking station for a Motorola Atrix and you get a budget but powerful laptop. Come see how it's change seen my last demo. *Lightning Talks, Everyone!* Short talks (5 minute max) from anyone who turns up!
