Hey Guys
I have a problem. I can plan projects, meetings and activities from now
until when hell freezes over but the trouble is that it is impossible to
get anything productily done without the cooperation, companionship and
help of friends that NYLXS once provided.
NYLXS was one time the hurricaine of free software activity for the
region, but we did everything together. it was the people behind NYLXS
that made it work. All the enthusiasm, power, and dynamics that pushed
us forward was based on our compainionship.
I don't know what happened. Perhaps it is me, or the changing economy,
or the state of volunteerism in todays society, but i can't seem to get
anyone to move an inch off there asses anymore.
I tried to get several projects up and running, particularly the C++
program, classes and Freedom-IT and it just seems we are more interested
in talking about stuff getting done than actually doing it. I posted
C++ programs for 3 months until I burned out.
If we are going to have another meeting in the near future, I don't want
to argue and plan. I want to get some hacking done, and get some
membership drive working. I talk until I'm blue in the face but can't
push us past point one. I'd love to get more programming studies going
but I can't do it by myself. Even I become exhausted.
Ruben

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
