The parts we want are coming from the US. Already the troops are
swinging into action in order to get what we need. I will give you
an updated timeline once I have some idea of how long things will
take.

Our banking is handled by the Guild, so you'll be paying into one of
their accounts. It is a Westpac account, the details are:
  Acc Holder: Guild of Undergraduates
  BSB: 736 054
  Acc No: 070268

I have informed Guild Finance that they will receive a $1300 deposit
from Linux Australia, if you could make the payment comment "UCC Grant"
or something to that effect, it will ensure that the money is paid
correctly. Once you say it's paid, I can check the transfer with
Guild Finance.

Along with the tirade of blogging and other informal media. I
envision a couple of articles on the upgrade and initial successes
of the project. Ideally at least one for LA and one for GNOME
Journal. Since it is an ongoing project, I'm not entirely sure how
it is going to play out just yet. Ideally this will be ASAP, but if
we're waiting on shipping from the US for parts, it could be a
little while.

Once again, thank you so very much.
