boh, from your writing, the first thing that came to my mind is that we need people who are willing to solve real problems. genuinely helping other people to solve a problem. not about making a fast buck.
ditesh and marcus, that is so true... hasan and amran, maybe we should propose to mdec to sponsor rm10k for any malaysian student / organisation whose proposed google summer of code project is accepted ? this could be a good start for getting a pool of developers that hopefully a few will rise to be world class ? this should keep a developer with family of 3 kids above the rm3k poverty line (urban kl) for 3 months. can we start with an initial allocation of rm500k for next year ? apparently in 2008, 2 malaysian students made it which makes our ranking lower than sri lanka. sri lanka is in top 10 countries in terms of number of accepted students. http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/04/two-top-10s-for-google-summer-of-code.html On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 11:34 PM, Hasanuddin Abu Bakar <bizkut...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Betul tu encik Amran.
