Where the Malaysian Java User Group is heading to?

Not just the website, there are more things that you can do for the group, really. I am a believer of "community for the people, by the people". The group will never work without a group of good leaders, active members and industry support. So here are a few suggestions:

• Spread the words
• Be the committee
• Be the sponsor
• Keep an eye on us

...

I have just blogged about the direction of our JUG in the website: what we have been doing, what we can do, and what we will be doing. The blog can be found at:

FOSS-SM February 2008 Meet-Up

I'm just back from the FOSS-SM (Free/Open Source Software Society of Malaysia) meeting. Thanks Kenneth Wong (of Exoweb) for giving us the presentation.

Had some talks with the Jayway folks, Niclas Hedhman and Edward Yakop, at the mamak after the meeting. Niclas mentioned a lot of names, and yes, I did not know who's Rickard Oberg (the creator of XDoclet and Webwork, the brain behind JBoss). Then I heard some stories about Joost too.

Next month, we might hear something from Rickard, on Qi4J.

War is Peace

Anarchism is a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary.


Propagandha - War is Peace

Four more years of War is Peace, Ignorance is Stenght and Slavery is Freedom.
Four more. May all your interventions be "Humanitarian".
Four more years of pay-to-play politics, power and influence.
Four more years of legalized bribery and served corporate interests.

Vote for tweedle-dum or tweedle-dee
And a framework of debate narrowed for you courtesy
Of the ultra-rich and a media that filters
But any voice that challenges their power
(like Nader bounced in Boston by state-troppers
Cos he don't speak for oil-xycoons and bankers, oh yeah
Whose pursuit of happiness and liberty
Demands a rhetoric of fear to be
The litmus test for viable heirs to
The phony drug-wars, the trumped-up rogue-states, the permance of a war-economy).

I feel less hopeful and less human
As I'm reduced to nothing more than
Cheering on embassy bombings
As the liars pave their way through

Four more years of War is Peace, Ignorance is Stenght and Slavery is Freedom.
Four more. May all your interventions be "Humanitarian".
Four more years of pay-to-play politics, power and influence.
Four more years of legalized bribery and served corporate interests.
