Congratulations, Goanet!

I am glad to see Goanet thriving, in spite of all our limitations!
It is a platform for news, views, discussion, dialogue.
I have learned a lot, I do not know how much I was able to teach,
since this is my profession! All topics should have a place in our dialogue.
I thank the Founders as well as those who are taking pains to provide us 
with good reading.

Regards.
Fr.Ivo

Congratulations Goanet on your sweet 16th anniversary!

I am indebted to Goanet for providing me a platform to write and present 
my thoughts to the world, which culminated into a book: “Domnic’s Goa – 
A nostalgic romp through a bygone era.”

I take this opportunity to thank the captain, Herman Carneiro, and all 
the administrators, especially Bosco D’Mello and Frederick Noronha for 
their unselfish service to Goans universally. Keep up the good work!

[Ariosto Coelho]

Dear Herman, your team of dedicated administrators and all Gonetters,

CONGRATULATIONS and A BIG THANK YOU! Yes, GoaNet and Goanetters have achieved a 
lot during the past year and throughout its 16 years of existence. May the 
spirit of freedom of opinion coupled with harmonious compassion continue to 
prevail on GoaNet!

Dear Herman, Let me thank you for your kind words about my wife VIVIAN MARRONE 
COELHO. "This year we were sad to see Viviana Coelho retire. Viviana 
volunteered  
with Goanet for about 12 years and was an invaluable part of the team.  We 
thank 
Viviana and wish her all the success and happiness life has to  offer."

Dear Goanetters, I hope you will not mind if I use this forum to express my 
appreciation of my wife's selfless and compassionate dedication to GoaNet and 
Goanetters. Though a non-Goan, Vivian went out of her way to be an impartial 
moderator and a dedicated administrator on GoaNet for 12 years! I'm aware of 
the 
many struggles she experienced as she moderated a variety of opinions. I'm 
proud 
of her generous service to the cause of Goanetters and GoaNet! Let me also 
express my thanks to Fred Noronha, Bosco D'Mello and other administrators of 
GoaNet who are keeping the flame of Goan freedom of expression burning bright! 
May they be blessed with  wisdom and compassion as they moderate a variety of 
experiences and expressions. May their tribe increase!

Dear Admin Team, please let me know your policy for advertising/sponsoring my 
book on INTEGRAL ART -How to awaken, balance and center light and delight- 
DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS OF SOUL TRAVEL BY A GOAN ARTIST to be initially released 
in San Francisco and later on in Goa. Trinity Offset Printers in Mumbai have 
done a great  job with the 40 colorful pages [10"x12"] of my drawings and 
paintings.

Dear Netters, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you along with your  
family and friends to partake of the Reception at the  Exhibition and Book 
Signingon Sunday September 26, 2010 from 6pm to  9pm at the Hourian Art Gallery 
located at 1843 Union Street in San  Francisco, CA [Phone: 415-346-640]. The 
Exhibition of my Paintings at this Gallery will continue till October 26, 2010. 
Your presence on this occasion will be a great honor for me! Please feel free 
to 
extend this invitation to your family and friends. If you are interested in my 
integral art, please check 
. To see 
miniatures of my oil paintings, please check

With every good wish and prayer from Vivian and

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Anniversary 25-08-2010 (16 years)

[Nascy Caldeira]

My congratulations and many thanks to Herman for starting/ founding, Goanet as 
it is known today. In the early years, mid Nineties, it was part of 
goacom.com?? and operated from USA.

It has been a great achievement, over the years. I can definitely say that 
my first exposure to goanet was in 1995, when I had access to my own PC at work 
with the University that I was proud to be then working for at the time. The 
very next year I had my own PC at home.

I felt so proud then that I went around telling my colleagues etc, about the 
fact that Goa has its own private website, and that too at a time when 
Governments and Institutions did not have one.

That is all due to your efforts and work with your colleagues then in USA 
mainly Boston MIT ? You did describe then how you tried out communicating with 
your friends locally and that set the 'road' to achieving the forum that goanet 
is and has now grown so big, with a 'node' in Goa long ago! 

Thanks and well wishes to all the volunteers specially Frederick and Bosco 
later; There also was Joel D'souza then? They have stood 'the test of time' and 
have been a bedrock; and they all deserve our  gratitude for their time and 
effort, utilising their considerable skills; and Selma has been another 
outstanding addition to goanet, of course; allowing all of us subscribers to 
follow Goa and the diaspora and to keep in touch with things Goan, Indian and 
Universal too! 

I must end with many thanks and congrats to Alexyz and Francis Rodricks for 
their outstanding quality, art and literary, continuing contributions on a day 
to day basis; and of course to the many goans who all make the forum 
interesting and worthwhile for everyday partaking! 

Sabash! VIVA GOA and VIVA Herman surely!

Nascy (Nascimento) Caldeira.

[George Pinto]

Congratulations to Goanet on its 16th anniversary. 

Although I have not been reading much of Goan cyberspace over the last few 
years, Santosh Helekar's posts stand out, a pleasure to read. Also the tireless 
work and contributions to Goan cyberspace and to the Goan community 
from JoeGoaUK, Eddie Fernandes, Frederick Noronha, Gasper Almeida, John 
D'Souza, Uly Menezes to name a few. 

Cecil Pinto, Valmiki Falerio, Lino Douardo, Dominic Fernandes have informed and 
entertained. Bosco gets a bouquet to accompany the brickbats he has received 
from various quarters - a thankless moderator job. Rajan Parrikar, 
controversial to some, is thought provoking - the kind democracy needs whether 
you like him or not. Francis Rodrigues and Alexyz are on a daily marathon.

Und so weiter

George

Dear Goanetters,

Today Goanet celebrates its 16th anniversary!! I'd like to take this 
opportunity to share my thoughts on this proud occasion.

First and foremost we owe thanks to those who work so hard to provide this 
service. We have two volunteers who are the pillars of Goanet: Frederick 
Noronha who has volunteered for 15 years; and Bosco D'Mello who has volunteered 
over 9 years now. That's an astounding commitment and contribution to Goanet 
and the Goan community. I thank them both on behalf of all of us.

This year we were sad to see Viviana Coelho retire. Viviana volunteered with 
Goanet for about 12 years and was an invaluable part of the team. We thank 
Viviana and wish her all the success and happiness life has to offer.

A word of thanks to Christina Pinto who regularly publishes the Goanet 
Cybermatrimonials.

Many thanks too to Avelino D'Souza and Selma Carvalho for volunteering with 
Goanet alongwith with a few others who help us whenever they can. Their time 
and effort is certainly appreciated by all of us.

Thanks go to every member of Goanet as well. Your subscriptions are testament 
to our success. Obviously we cannot all contribute to the dialogue on Goanet. 
However, many thanks go to the contributors for sharing information and views 
on topics pertinent to Goans worldwide.

Goanet has a lot to be proud of this year:

* Helping in the launch of a successful book on the Goan diaspora, by Goanetter 
Selma Carvalho.

* Taking forward the debate on a number of issues crucial to Goa, and 
reflecting all points of view, including urban planning, infrastructure, 
people's movements, corruption, communalism.

* Supporting communications and spreading the word over positive Goan ventures, 
like Goa Sudharop and World Goa Day.

* Holding a successful Goanetters meeting in December 2009, where the focus was 
on a little noticed face of the diaspora -- Goans in Pakistan!

* Sharing information about initiatives relevant to the diaspora undertaken 
from Goa, by the Goa government, the NRI Commission and others.

* Helping build a better understanding of Goa by promoting visibility of Goa 
books globally, including those published by not-for-profit Goa, 1556 Trust, 
Isidore Dantas and others.

I am sure you will all agree with me that Goanet is *the* communication network 
for Goans worldwide and provides an important service to our community. I hope 
that will continue into the future.

We need your help to make that happen. Invite you friends and family to 
subscribe to Goanet and publicize Goanet. Volunteer with us. From a network 
with thousands of members it's unfortunate that we only have a handful of 
volunteers supporting the day-to-day operations of the list and running various 
projects and initiatives. It doesn't take much to be a volunteer. All you would 
need would be a few minutes almost every day, if possible. No technical skills 
required.

Your financial support is also welcome. Donations currently go towards 
supporting the maintenance and growth of the mailing lists and website. When 
the day comes that we have a surplus, we will use that money towards community 
building projects in Goa. Make that happen by a financial contribution, even if 
just annually. Donations can be made at www.goanet.org.

Thank you all for your continued support.

On behalf of all of us on Goanet, Happy Anniversary!


Yours sincerely,

Herman

[Goanet] Goanet Anniversary 25-08-2010 (16 years)

[Herman Carneiro]

Dear Goanetters,

Today Goanet celebrates its 16th anniversary!! I'd like to take this 
opportunity to share my thoughts on this proud occasion.


First and foremost we owe thanks to those who work so hard to provide 
this service. We have two volunteers who are the pillars of Goanet: 
Frederick Noronha who has volunteered for 15 years; and Bosco D'Mello 
who has volunteered over 9 years now. That's an astounding commitment 
and contribution to Goanet and the Goan community. I thank them both on 
behalf of all of us.


This year we were sad to see Viviana Coelho retire. Viviana volunteered 
with Goanet for about 12 years and was an invaluable part of the team. 
We thank Viviana and wish her all the success and happiness life has to 
offer.


A word of thanks to Christina Pinto who regularly publishes the Goanet 
Cybermatrimonials.


Many thanks too to Avelino D'Souza and Selma Carvalho for volunteering 
with Goanet alongwith with a few others who help us whenever they can. 
Their time and effort is certainly appreciated by all of us.


Thanks go to every member of Goanet as well. Your subscriptions are 
testament to our success. Obviously we cannot all contribute to the 
dialogue on Goanet. However, many thanks go to the contributors for 
sharing information and views on topics pertinent to Goans worldwide.


Goanet has a lot to be proud of this year:

* Helping in the launch of a successful book on the Goan diaspora, by 
Goanetter Selma Carvalho.


* Taking forward the debate on a number of issues crucial to Goa, and 
reflecting all points of view, including urban planning, infrastructure, 
people's movements, corruption, communalism.


* Supporting communications and spreading the word over positive Goan 
ventures, like Goa Sudharop and World Goa Day.


* Holding a successful Goanetters meeting in December 2009, where the 
focus was on a little noticed face of the diaspora -- Goans in Pakistan!


* Sharing information about initiatives relevant to the diaspora 
undertaken from Goa, by the Goa government, the NRI Commission and others.


* Helping build a better understanding of Goa by promoting visibility of 
Goa books globally, including those published by not-for-profit Goa, 
1556 Trust, Isidore Dantas and others.


I am sure you will all agree with me that Goanet is *the* communication 
network for Goans worldwide and provides an important service to our 
community. I hope that will continue into the future.


We need your help to make that happen. Invite you friends and family to 
subscribe to Goanet and publicize Goanet. Volunteer with us. From a 
network with thousands of members it's unfortunate that we only have a 
handful of volunteers supporting the day-to-day operations of the list 
and running various projects and initiatives. It doesn't take much to be 
a volunteer. All you would need would be a few minutes almost every day, 
if possible. No technical skills required.


Your financial support is also welcome. Donations currently go towards 
supporting the maintenance and growth of the mailing lists and website. 
When the day comes that we have a surplus, we will use that money 
towards community building projects in Goa. Make that happen by a 
financial contribution, even if just annually. Donations can be made at
