I suppose the same could be said for the ruckus about BPO - c'mon guys, it's catch-22 all over again - if the company's don't get savvy and cost efficient (at the cost of n jobs) they die anyway and end up destroying 3xn jobs - makes sense for all, to be open, and survive, and no one can do it for free.

re my remark about Indian's who copy, that came from a court battle being fought here between Ms Bradford and the Indian movie industry,which has been ripping off bestsellers and hollywood movies for 30 years years now - and setting the trend for the country

what a waste, 30 years of imitation in all spheres, instead or really developing our own talent a nation will never be a leader in software or anything as long as it is happy to copy.

Our new President, much as i admire him, has got the bull by the tail unfortunately in proposing open source and Linux for India, sounding almost like he believed an Indian had written Linux. It's also "foreign" and if IBM is promoting it today it is only because they are not willing to invest what it takes to come up with a real new OS for the future (if windows is that bad), easier to fire from the shoulder of the Linux community.

Oh well, we all get the govts that we deserve and i suppose the same can be said for learning, i couldn't care less where it comes from as long as it illuminates my life.

GXcel seems to be crawling well now
only users can help it run.

interesting to finally see the Groove home page carry a leader on Education -have been a proponent of this for so long.

but finally it will come down to people - those who believe.

Rick Lilie and his untiring efforts in his world of Accounting & Education
KC Bolton on his way to doingthe same to the medical establishment.
Charles Butler's dream of Groove and Nation building, building bridges across the world.
Andy with PoPG to spread the word in the non-windows world.
and Jeroen, and Mark, and Michael and Thomas and ....apostles all, the tool builders, the risk takers who have predicated their own succes on Grooves'.

The list is long, of those who have built tools, and those who have built the community.

Now Groove in the hands of NGO's in Iraq? heh heh, it's happening. Charle's dream of swarming intellects and hearts is reaching critical mass.

I have actually volunteered to be Grooves' ambassador to Iraq, the first country to have it's national infrastructure based on Groove ?

that should be a worthy challenge for Ray Ozzie?

cheers

We just launched another News station in India - NDT 24x7 - the Indian CNN - great
- but it's theme music is totally copied from the irritating BBC theme
- forget the fact that i personally don't like either
- when will we Indians stop copying others and do something original???

like use Groove :-)
