Lunch at the ACS Canberra Branch Conference was a noisy affair. In 
the foyer were several standards from conference sponsors. An 
unplanned theme of the sponsors seemed to be ICT education and 
graduate recruitment. One of the stands was from 
FaHCSIA 
<http://www.facs.gov.au/internet/facsinternet.nsf/aboutfacs/career-compass_graduate.htm>. 
A problem government agencies have is making potential staff aware of 
what hi tech opportunities they have. Another problem is the slightly 
bewildering acronyms and names of the agencies after the last election.

Another sponsor was ACTEWAGL with their Canberra Technology City 
project <http://www.canberratechnologycity.com.au/>. They are 
proposing to build some large environmentally efficient data centers
