Introductions

The main objective of this blog is to keep track of the team Digital Fix in the 2008 yMedia Challenge. The yMedia Challenge is a competition running from 28th July to 8th August. It's about connecting tertiary students with community groups through media and technology to create a new, or leverage an existing, low-cost digital presence for the community group.

Digital Fix consists of me (Aurelie Rivalant), Katherine Gibb and Miles Mason. Together, we will be helping out the North Shore Women's Centre.

We will take turns updating this blog to show our progress. Our next update will be up before the 23rd and will describe our discussion with a North Shore Women's Centre representative. It will detail what the organisation is about, its purposes/audiences/challenges, and hopefully start to identify ways in which they would most like us to help them.

Digital Fix has started up a facebook group and, if you are a facebook member, feel free to join + invite all your friends! If you are not a facebook member, then don't hesitate to join facebook just so you can join our group :) We will soon get around to creating relevant groups on the other major social networking sites Bebo and Myspace. Please leave a comment if there is a networking site you are part of which you feel we should add a group to.

In the meantime you can simply show your support by spreading the word and telling all your friends about our cause. Thanks for all the support!
