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

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.

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

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

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Anniversary 25-08-2010 (16 years)
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 [10x12] of my drawings and paintings.
