Create  content about the recent wildfires and we will air it on channelAustin. Tell a personal story or put the word out to the community about where to donate, how to volunteer, etc. If you submit content about the wildfires then please let us know on the cablecast agreement and we will schedule your   video ASAP. channelAustin   Closes for Transition   The new hours of operation will go into effect October 3, 2011.   Why October 3 - and not October 1 - you ask?   The answer is that everything new will begin Monday, October 3.   In order to prepare for the transition, including the first phase of automated self service, channelAustin will close the previous week, from Monday, September 26 until our new time to re-open Monday, October 3. We are also considering a new day and time for orientation - so please let us know what you think.     Reception Hours     Due to an unforeseen circumstance, channelAustin must change staff hours for Reception.   A staff person will not be available after 4:30 PM to make an equipment or studio reservation.   Hours when you may speak to staff to make a reservation are: Monday (phone only):  1:00 PM to 4:30 PM Tuesday to Friday (phone or in person): Noon to 4:30 PM If you wish to make a reservation after 4:30 PM, please leave a voicemail message at 478-8600, Ext. 10, and your reservation will be confirmed the next morning.     School of Rock     channelAustin's four part series about Austin's School of Rock will be airing each Sunday of September on channel 10 @ 1:00 PM with an encore airing @ 7:00 PM. The first episode will air the first Sunday ending with the fourth episode   airing on the last  Sunday of the month.           September Training Schedule Take advantage of channelAustin's training classes this September!  Due to the contract transition, the schedule is a short one, so register for classes today by contacting Reception at (512) 478-8600 x10.   Also, please note Orientation will not be given in September, and will start again on October 3rd, and the new and improved October Training schedule will be   released on-line at that time.   If you have any further questions, contact channelAustin training Director   Karla Saldaña at kar...@channelAustin.org or (512) 478-8600 x22.   Printable version of the schedule here                  Online Community Media Tools   CiviCRM? Drupal? You may have heard these words as we've discussed new online tools we plan to make available. We will soon introduce a new CiviCRM and Drupal system that you will use to join channelAustin, register for classes, make equipment reservations, and submit programs. CiviCRM is a free and open source software constituent relationship management solution. Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. Depicted below is the difference and how they interact.     Drupal website link                           CiviCRM website link
