The project team is pleased to announce that phase one of Malty Media was completed successfully on Wednesday, 21 November 2007. While some performative issues were noted by a minority of stakeholders, required outputs were provided as outlined by pre-established Service Level Agreements between Malty Media, Katipo cafe staff and the attendees. Sign-off has been sought and received from the cafe owner and a sample group of audience members.
