OTW 2 IGOS Summit II: The Path

Yeah, if I wasn't committed to the IGOS Summit 2, I will never come! Seriously, this is the first time I have ever come out myself to a show or something and the first time in history that I would go to many distant places, Campuss -> Home -> IGOS Summit -> Depok. Yeah, call me antisocial but, if it wasn't for the IGOS, I would never go anywhere. At first, I felt reluctant to go to the Summit, especially I have woke up at 5 AM. I always in bad mood if I have to wake up early. But, I have boast to everyone, including Pak Ibam, FT, etc that we must get as a monumental for the open source movement. So, I couldn't take back my own words. Simply not me. The thing that made me even mad along the way is the fare for public transportation ( Angkot ) which increasing fairly high. I have to take at least three terminals before reaching home. Thanks God we have TransJakarta Bus Way System. It save a lot. But, if the fare really this high, I'd rather choose to own my own t...

Indonesian Network System

Iang[1] was messaging me about the map of hyperspeed internet connection [2] found in Global Lambda Facility map publication. [3] As you can see, we Indonesia are in the middle of nowhere. If only government have the urge to push its regulation to have join IT implementation especially in network connection. With the Indonesian government having comitment with IETS to have all of Indonesian area connected with Internet in 2015, Indonesian government have the potential to restructurized the network topology here. Now, the momentum is right. With the Palapa Ring project ongoing[3], we should have build the grand infrastructure to support these gigantic network. This is the time when Indonesia have the long vision to support information-based business. After all, this Palapa Ring should have the vision of many years to come which comes with the need of multimedia capability. At least, can't we just put two lines and become a hub to Australia and Hongkong. Besides, we can bargain that ...

Juragan @ IGOS Summit 2

Karena cuma ada di forum id-ubuntu, gak seru rasanya kalo cuma mereka doang yang tahu. Tapi ini ada berita: DH All, Dengan ini kami ingin memberitahukan bahwa seluruh peliharaan KAMBING di UI akan dibawa ke IGOS SUMMIT 2.

Zaman Yang Sama: Lahirnya Demokrasi

Hehehe... gw akhirnya paham. Saat ini sama seperti Era Demokrasi dulu (1955-1959). Partai-partai dipenuhi orang-orang yang pengen tampil. Tapi, seperti kata Bung Hatta: "Bukan dalam Maklumat Wakil Presiden 3 November 45 yang menegaskan adanya demokrasi terletak kesalahan, tetapi dalam partai-partai dan para pemimpin yang lupa daratan" [1] Mudah-mudahan seperti kata Bung Hatta, waktu di mana setiap partai mulai mawas diri akan tiba sehingga bangsa ini mulai melihat masalah dan bangkit tidak hanya berkutat kepada permasalahan siapa yang pantas memimpin bangsa ini. Mudah-mudahan kita juga belajar untuk tidak seperti dahulu, demokrasi yang anarkis yang justru melahirkan kediktatoran. ~lagiGandrungSemangatNasionalisme. Referensi: [1] TEMPO.

Nasionalism? [Pun Intended]

I've got interesting review of nationalism here: http://cacianqalbukunderemp.blogspot.com/2008/05/nasionalisme-sukuisme-kampung.html What is nationalism? A sense where a person feels belong like home. What is the value of Nationalism? The "Sumpah Pemuda" or Youth Declaration, my free translation, state that there are three values of nationalism: "One blood, Indonesian blood" "A Nation named Indonesia" "A Language named Bahasa Indonesia" But, do I (and some of us) feel like home? Sometimes, I felt like 3rd class citizen. I asked myself, why moslems could build mosque everywhere, yet my own church almost got closed (they failed because my church have legitimate paper from Ministry of Religion). But, how about other churches? Why do we have to rent spaces in stores or Malls just to have our faith? Even those Ahmadiyah, I pitty on them. Just because this nation is Sunni, that doesn't give them the right to judge Ahmadiyah. I mean, whoa, we ha...
