Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] Legal obligations of developers

Afternoon All,

I've slapped together a PowerPoint on legal obligations and the acts. It's a lot to remember to get about 4 marks on the exam, I'm fairly sure the legal dilemma questions will as usual be answered fairly poorly.
As the owner of copyright I am using my right to distribute my work via e-mail. I am also happily handing over the ownership to all of you to flip, change or rip apart however you wish. If you do improve it greatly how about re-posting it?

I'm planning on narrating the presentation and leaving it as an extra. I'll post the narrated vodcast when I get around to recording it.

Also great little quiz on privacy, courtesy of ANZ. Look in the "check your learning" section.

PS This week's quote from a year 11 IT student after once again trying to use the Ultranet  and seeing it fail with our "complex" timetable.
"If I worked with the Ultranet every day. I'd commit suicide".
I had to laugh. I do feel for the coaches.  My class has had enough of being guinea pigs.
This Wednesday is the anniversary of the August 9 PD day, how should we celebrate?
