Chris Roberts, NBN Co. — NBN fibre network build and service activation steps.
The audience will be given insight into each step, and will be armed with useful data to make sure they are ‘NBN ready’.

Chris Roberts has worked in the Australian and Asian telecoms industry for over 15 years, initially working on voice switching and early packet data networks when Ethernet was still confined to the LAN and Frame Relay was the hottest technology delivering 128kbps. Chris has held Product Management roles in such 'challenger' service providers as RequestDSL, PowerTel and AAPT. After a Product Strategy role in Telstra Wholesale, Chris led the Product Engineering team in NBN Co's Technology group, supporting and developing the technical features of the NBN Co products. He has recently taken a Business Operations role within NBN Co Network Operations team – connecting and supporting new services onto the NBN network.

2:00 pm: Word Processing with TextEdit — Presented by Isabel Collins

Once there was the humble typewriter; now there are powerful word processors and desktop publishing. But many of us just want a simple program on our computers that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg; one that’s quick to install and easy to use; one that doesn’t have a huge instruction manual and a steep learning curve. Most of all we want our our information to look good on the page.

Come on down, TextEdit. This simple, yet highly versatile, word processor comes pre-installed on the Mac and is often overlooked. Isabel shows how easy it is to use TextEdit in a variety of ways that produce good looking results.

There will be a 10-minute tea break halfway through and time for questions afterwards.
