[ubuntu-my] Talent search is on for cybersecurity students

[Eric Yeoh]

Itiknila, I agree with you. it's just passionate discussions among adults.

The reason we get upset over one issue or another is because we care
and sometimes due to this the passion, words become less than
civilised or hot!

There is no reason for us to be angry.

For those of you who know me personally, I ALWAYS extend an invitation
to join the community to exchange ideas. Evidently the existence of a
community of like-minded people and even free tutorials doesn't
appeal.

If the current batch of agencies are hard to work with then perhaps we
can focus on working with students.

Perhaps we can start by focussing on working with IPTS' rather than
IPTAs for a change. Every single OSS community seems to be eager to
work with IPTAs, but we missed out a large portion of youngsters who
are in IPTS'.

Why is that? Is it because many of the community members are solely from IPTAs?

I do not profess to have the answer but it is just a suggestion.
