Dear Mr. Rafw Azsnal Ropee Adman, It is not about ties and all that. Protocol is just general accepted codes how to receive v.i.p.'s And I am sure that the ministers including the honorourable Datok (spelling?) Doctor Najib will understand this. For this protocol I would like to share my knowledge and experiences. Also I want to cooperate to make this event successfull. Mr. Adman the open source philosophy is this to my opinion: "Everyone has his or her talents, knowledge and experience, so let us share this. From this perspective I would like this event will be one of which people never forget. So conclusion: We need television......great impact on people......therefore we need v.i.p.'s coming to this event, especially the prime minister, who I respect alot and also I repeat also the former prime minister. My contributions may include to deliver texts to you for writing invitations and do all the organization about how receiving these people but BEHIND THE SCENES. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 7:40 PM, Rafe Azsnal Ropee Adman <<a href="mailto:rafe@mdec.com.my">rafe@mdec.com.my</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> it may be a good idea. but we're looking at this conference to be a lay back casual conference NO SUITE and TIE.. hihihihi. if we do get the minister involvement then the others protocol will be involve. i dont know how the community is looking at this. but feel free to comments. thank you.<div><div></div><div class="h5"> -----Original Message----- From: <a href="mailto:ubuntu-my-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-my-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com</a> on behalf of Harisfazillah Jamel Sent: Sat 4/25/2009 1:18 AM To: Malaysian Team Mailing List Subject: Re: [ubuntu-my] Hasil Sidang Akhbar MSC OSCONF 2009 Any support will be accepted with open arm.
