ROME: 1st March 2010 -- Here are some interesting developments
you may wish to follow up:
The first is to give at least one Region a 24 hour
advantage, which helps us here in fact since we will be inundated with
registration requests over the next 72 hours.
You will shortly (if already registered with
sdb.org) receive notification that all previous registrations fall due
within the next 72 hours and to take advantage of the new sdb.org 2.0
you will need to re-register. If you are not already registered, not to
worry. Here is your chance. And now you can choose your own username
and password (eight characters, please) instead of receiving some
completely unmemorable version from a machine!
You may, of course, wait a few hours and register
with the mob - or take advantage of this earlier time slot, in which
case (for the earlier time slot) go to www.salesio.org
and click on 'register' (assuming you have got yourself to the English
page instead of the Italian default). If you try to do this while
the current (old) site is showing on www.sdb.org you won't be able to -
we have closed that facility.
On the other hand, you may wait 24 hours or a little
longer, and when you click on www.sdb.org, the normal address, the new
site will appear in all its glory, if everything has gone according to
Hoyle. On the other hand, if it has gone according to Murphy's
law you could find yourself on the moon or somewhere! Never
fear. We are here. Just ask.

Interested in seeing each of the language versions
of the recently publication 'Salesians 2010' in brilliant 'magazine'
form online? And with the possibility of downloading a relatively
lightweight version? Then select your language accordingly:
- English
- Italian
- Spanish
- French
- Portuguese
And given that this particular approach is gaining
ground with people who like to show off their glossy magazines, you may
be interested in looking at this link from
Slovakia. In fact it is the same Company (Salesians, Bratislava)
who produced the 'Salesians 2010' magazine, but this time they have
focused on Salesian Slovak missionaries, of whom some are active in the
EAO Region. They employed a professional photographer, as you
will quickly see, and the text is in Slovak and English.
Staying with the same site, here are two additional
links that may interest you. One is the Ongoing
Formation Bulletin being produced out of Berkeley by Fr Gail
Sullivan in particular, and the other one we just happened to find
along the way - a reference to the visit by Salesian College
Sunbury (AUL) to the Liceo Prati school in Trento, Italy.
Methinks that all of the above will keep you busy
and entertained for some time to come! _________________ AustraLasia is an
