Directors Comments
This year has certainly got off to a busy start. After spending a relaxing time with family and friends over the holiday period, the CeCC Team is actively working with a diverse range of organisations and communities on a variety of online service initiatives.
During 2008 CeCC will reach a significant milestone when we celebrate our 10th Birthday. A celebration dinner is likely to be held in conjunction with the 2008 Client Forum and Networking Session. More details will follow later in the year.

Client News
The CeCC team had an extremely busy end to 2007 and this has continued into the new year. A selection of client project updates are included below.
Fitzroy Legal Service
CeCC has been working closely with the Fitzroy Legal Service for a number of years on projects such as the Law Handbook and Service Directory for Drug and Alcohol Users. FLS recently decided to transfer its remaining web-based services including the Fitzroy Legal Service website, bookshop, intranet and Activist Rights website to CeCC. The transfer will provide major improvements in consistency and integration across all web services managed by FLS.
Interoperable GIS project
Work commenced in December 2007 on the Interoperable GIS project. This project will create a flexible platform for the delivery of Geographical Information via the web and brings together experts from the University of Ballarat, Enoble Consulting and the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. A dedicated server has been purchased and will provide the high-end processing power and space required for such a platform. More news will be provided as this project progresses.
