Hi Gabriel, I can see your commitment to make this work. I would like to volunteer and help you out on this. Please do give me the things that I need to do to help you out on the event. Regards, Ryan On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 12:04 PM, Michael Tinsay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > POV difference

Ok... I think I'll cross-post this to the main list since not everyone is on misc. What are the chances that there'll be a UAAP game then? Will we at least be able to hear each other amid the noise if ever? Won't we have a lot of competition for seats at Starbucks? On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 9:23 AM

Re: [plug] Openmoko Neo Freerunner available for USD399.00

Nokia's move on Symbian is fairly recent, and may just be due to pressure from Google's Android, and LiMo. But there are no phones out for all these platforms yet, and even if they do come out, I don't think they will really be truly "open" .. OpenMoko's approach of also opening up the hardwa

POV difference lang. If we're going to be there as PLUG, having a formal, active entity would be better. Otherwise, it may just become an EB. Not that there is something wrong with that. Again, more than two months away pa. Gives us time to prepare. For me, might as well tackle the legal c

There is a naive class of Linux support who don't take OS migrations as seriously as they would, say, network equipment migrations, and so we end up with problem cases like this. The fact is that Operating Systems are likely to be a class more complicated than network equipment migration is often n

Re: [plug] Openmoko Neo Freerunner available for USD399.00

Openmoko.com sells the Neo Freerunner at a discount if bought in multiples of 10 (US$369, instead of 399), to be shipped in one package. Group buying saves money on the purchase, and also on the shipping. Although the GSM 900 variant is currently sold out, new stocks are promised by July 25th.

It is a lofty ideal, as it represents the organization's ideals. I tend to believe though that PLUG in the past was able to do the roles it has set itself to do, with varying results. For an activity though, it's just too broad. I agree that there must be a definite focus. It would be best if we
