[Everybody at ACFR] 2026 Push-Up Challenge – Let’s Get Our First Team Together 💪
by Australian Centre For Robotics Administration 29 May '26

29 May '26

Hi everyone, We’re putting together our first team for the 2026 Push-Up Challenge this June, and we would love for you to be part of it. This is more than just a fitness challenge. It’s a nationwide movement raising awareness for mental health, with thousands of people across Australia taking part. Over 24 days (3–26 June), you will work towards a goal of up to 3,307 push-ups—a powerful number that represents lives lost to suicide and a reminder of why this cause matters. 💪 Why join? * No pressure, no judgement – all fitness levels welcome * Flexible participation – do the full (3,307), half (1,654), or swap exercises (squats, sit-ups, etc.) * Stay motivated – track progress easily by downloading the app<https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/the-app> * Learn along the way – daily mental health insights you’ll actually remember * Team spirit – we’ll keep things fun with a friendly competition (and bragging rights!) Whether you're looking to build a healthy habit, try something new, or just be part of something meaningful, this is an easy way to get involved. Even better? You don’t have to be a fitness enthusiast—just willing to give it a go. If you're unable to participate or short on time, you can still support the cause by making a donation. We’ve nominated Lifeline<https://www.lifeline.org.au/> as our preferred organisation, so any contributions will go directly towards their vital mental health support services. 👉 Sign up/Donate here: https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/ACFRFacultyofEngineering 👉 More information - The Push-Up Challenge : How it works<https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/how-it-works> Let’s make our firstyear count with a strong team behind it. Jump in, bring a colleague, and let’s do this together!

[Everybody at ACFR] For J04 occupants only
by Matthew Geier 28 May '26

28 May '26

Hi for J04 people only Next week, Thursday the 4th of June and into Friday the 5th, it's Tag and Test time again. Please have laptop power bricks and plug packs and power boards ready for testing. Just leave the things on your desk where the testers can see them. They will probably start quite early (8am or so). NOTE: they will not test computers, they are excluded, but if your computer IS powered by a separate 'power board', that power board needs to be tested. While they are not supposed to unplug things to do their tests, it has happened before. Please make it easy for them and have everything that needs to be tested, stacked at the end of your desk for them to find. Thanks. -- Matthew Geier Systems Administrator Australian Centre for Robotics University of Sydney _______________________________________________ Everybody mailing list -- everybody(a)acfr.usyd.edu.au To unsubscribe send an email to everybody-leave(a)acfr.usyd.edu.au
