Educate yourself with the Burngreave Learner

Anne Grange | 16.12.2003 09:58 | Culture | Education | Sheffield

The Burngreave Learner is a guide to courses in the Burngreave area in Sheffield from January 2004. There's something for everyone, and we list courses at small community learning providers as well as those at the big providers like Sheffield College.



The Burngreave Community Learning Campaign was set up to help the people of the Burngreave area of Sheffield to access training and education, employing local people to raise aspirations and provide advice and guidence. The aim of our organisation is for people to empower themselves through education.

We also produce the Burngreave Learner, a publication which aims to be the ultimate course guide in the area. It is currently being delivered door-to-door to every house in the Burngreave area, and is also available in libararies, schools and community centres. If you don't live in the area, or would prefer to get your information on the internet, visit:  http://learning.burngreave.net for a full online version of the Burngreave Learner, or call (0114) 2794960 for more details.

Happy Learning, Anne Grange, BCLC

Whoaaa,

That picture took an age on a dsl link, thats gonna kill a modem.

Note to indymedia programmers - why not a function to automatically resize uploaded images to something sensible (is the indymedia system open source??? - if so, i'll code if for you)

Be sensible to use imagemagick or some such.

Indymedia UK and lots of others are run on a Java based open source and cvs'ed system:-

 http://mir.indymedia.org/

More help chat and the like can be found in  http://lists.indymedia.org/ lists including imc-uk-tech and mir-coders

People to talk to can also sometimes be found in irc://irc.indymedia.org/tech and irc://irc.indymedia.org/mir

Agree about that particular photo though - HUGE...

Another Content Management System that has also been developed for imcs FreeForm (  http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/FreeForm ) does that resize photos, in fact it converts all images to jpegs, which spoils some nice clean png logos. But idea is people can directly upload straight from digital camera, without having to pre process in GIMP (  http://www.gimp.org ) or other image editor.

At moment resizing photos be fore upload is encourage by imcuk on it's help page.

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/static/help.html

Also one can add a caption on corner of photo image while in image editor, which cna be usefull if photo reused elsewhere. When view photos in image directory.

I think over time new functionality will be added to MIR but for now main tasks are getting it to work well as it is. It would be good to see an image gallery, with captions and thumbnails all togeather, and possiblity to just upload an image with caption on it's own rather than having to add an article wrapper as now.

The thing about photo sizes in people learn pretty quick to resize them before hand. We only get a few like above. And perhaps it is a good idea for people to learn from mistakes while retaining ability to choose size of photo.

Hi,

Sorry if my original comment sounded critical, it wasn't meant like that, simply as a suggestion.
Cant pretend that I'm a java expert (mod_perl is my thing) but i'd like to have a look at the code and contribute in some manner if possible (even if its only daft suggestions to tack on the end of very long lists :o) )

will visit urls above.

Regards

Gug.

Mir does support thumbnailing...

The CMS running this site, Mir, does support thumbnailing, see the Portland site where they have this running:  http://portland.indymedia.org/

Yes this site needs it adding, there are lots of other things that also need fixing...
