Software discusion group and the likes

[Luong.Ta@Singapore.Sun.COM (Luong Ta)]

Hi anh Dzung and all,
	I would like to appologize for my disappearance. I've been
on the road again and again and hardly catch my breath. However, I
still remember and be interested on the SW development discussion
group thing. I believe that the discussions will be useful for
many. However, there need to be an administrator or auto-admin
in order to make this successful. Anh AiViet, I and some other
created the Java discussion group, then the telecom group, but
there wasn't much going on. Most people jump in to listen, which
is alright but then it may hurt the activeness of the group.
I, for one, do not have enough time to run the group, but I will
sure want to contribute my perspectives as well as the little 
experience that I have.

Here is the list of interested participants that I've collected:
Dinh Thi Thanh Huong - huong@haiti.cs.uni-potsdam
Doan Hong Nghia - nghia@telemedia.hu
Nguyen Tien Zung - tienzung@darboux.math.univ-montp2.fr
Thanh Vu Nguyen - v-tnvu@microsoft.com(Don't know if Thanh's still here)
Luong Ngoc Ta - Luong.ta@singapore.sun.com

I  assume that those friends who are interested in Java dev.
are in here too, please state if you are interested.

I also think that friends & SW companies in Vietnam & overseas are also
interested as well, once they know the existence. I visited a few SW
dev. in Vietnam and see that they are doing alright. Grow every year.

We will need to find a driver for this for the first few months - hooking
up with Bac' An Hai and ba'c Dam Son to create the alias.

Regards,

Luong
