Moonshi, The following is my part of the proposal; ICQ push technology ------------------- Traditional model of Internet is largely passive, users search for the required information instead of the information going to the interested users. The ICQ push technology aims at making the Internet more active - It gathers the relevant information and sends it to the users through ICQ. By leveraging on the existent network of ICQ users, we can have Windows/Linux users benefiting from the whole plan. We will have a server that is in charged of gathering information from the Net, then we will perform data analysis on those data and send the relevant information to relevant users. This is all technically possible, given that we already have the source code of micq, which we can customize to achieve the stated purpose. This will have the possible effect of gathering a lot of hits worldwide. Direction of Singapore Linux Portal ----------------------------------- Singapore Linux Portal will be a site participated by a large group of Open Source enthusiasts. It will function like a bazaar for information to be exchanged, jobs to be found/offerred and business to be done. We are going to offer webhosting resources for needy open source projects. We are already offerring ourselves to be the official mirror site of FreeSWAN. We will spark off the open source development in local academia by providing them resources. We will also function as the one stop information center for local Linux scene. Whenever a Singaporean wants to know about any development of Linux locally he can just pop into our website and take a peep. The supposedly completed site details ------------------------------------- Is not this supposed to be the same as the direction of SLP? In any case, we can see from Work In Progress regarding the completed web site.
