Silent scream revisited, and there are many who really cares about our education! (silent scream part two)
Yes. Why do I say many cares? Just a day after I wrote my latest blog entry about the first silent scream, some of my colleagues gave me supports, including many of my colleagues from Indonesian OMG BMI members. Wow! They even offer me many samples of syllables from many Australian universities, for comparison resources.
Some of them were willing to pour some real cash to accelerate this. But not so fast, though. We need to form a specific "organization", since then it's not an initiative from RX Communica anymore. Basically, they agreed. It's also being considered as a non-profit organization, and there should be no hidden agenda at all, no dependency or dominance from a single company.
Ahh, it may sound easy to say than to really form it. At the same time, while my friends and I are still considering many options, those guys that interested in funding approach me. But, they have to agree on stricter term, especially on these fine prints: "non profit, no dependency and dominance". Few of them backed off.
Funny thing is, some of them thought that we were building a promising startup, just like the story behind the fever of startup on the dusk of web 2.0 bubbles.
Simple answer is: No. We are not building a startup. We're not tied as a promising newcomer for many VCs. Yes, we're concerning about software development in general, and our main target is preparing young talents to be aware of the latest software development theory and best practices, also giving them experiences on real projects.
A first, the base camp is on RX Communica. Later when the need (and also funding) are sufficient, we'll have our own base, since we've agreed about no dominance, even for RX Communica and also my friend's company. We don't know yet the name. :)
Many thanks for you guys, especially from Indonesian OMG guys and my silent scream fellows on Kalimantan. Next, since this topic is no longer about .NET, I'll migrate it to a new host, or maybe I'll use any other free blog services for this time being. Or, do any of you, this blog's loyal visitors, want me to report it here? I will, if you want to. But I'm afraid it'll be less .NET content. :)
As Aerosmith sung:
"It's amazing! With a blink of an eye, we finally see the light..."
Again, many thanks.
