<div dir="ltr">Hi, I will be in ICT during the SFD, but I don't mind helping out in the preparations :) XP <div class="gmail_quote">2008/8/21 suhaw koh <<a href="mailto:kohsuhaw@gmail.com">kohsuhaw@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr">Hi All, As per our discussions on Friday night. While I am appreciative of offers of free booth, etc, recall the following we said last Friday: * Ubuntu Singapore is a small team * As a team, we should focus on one or a limited few initiatives given our resources * As individuals, we can of course offer our time and energies to whatever else * An observation of LUGS is that while they have many members, they are also very diverse and diffused and we don't want to go that way. * One 1st potential project - a Singapore-centric Ubuntu/Linux/OSS info resource on the Internet - is barely into conceptual stage and we really have nothing to show for it. We are even sure that is a project we really want to embark on. My personal feeling is let's go support LUGS's SFD event in our individual capacities. As for this Sunday, sorry, I am going for a short weekend getaway to Malacca and KL from tomorrow afternoon. Cheers. suhaw <div class="gmail_quote">2008/8/20 Rui Boon <<a href="mailto:ruiboon@gmail.com" target="_blank">ruiboon@gmail.com</a>><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div>Muhammad Heidir wrote: > Hi guys, > > I just came back from Singapore Linux Meetup Group meeting.
