Not much news today:
oHg - defended, as I did not ask Wilda
do Don News. Except for the introductory
crazy article for issue 19 I'm okay
and didn’t see it.
Real help is now being provided by Lilu,
which gladly recycles
all the material for the newspaper.
I in turnfinished a new issue
Don News`a and I’m upgrading my
spec. There are some considerations for
water of participation in the competition "Your Game 2003",
but so far everything is at the preparation level.
Another one has been added to our association

I started upgrading, picked up his

hutop.
In terms of software, in addition to our newspaper and pa-

Minsk news? Easily! Remained in Minsk

Spectrumists are on PC. Someone in emula-
torah (10-15 people), the rest in games.
Those in emulators create quite good
activity, especially when it comes to creating
development and maintenance of Spectrum sites. B

I've been rewriting for quite some time now-
I'm with RGB, and we have also been "re-
petupaem" theme of our Ukrainian spectrum
Movsky party. Let it not be of such scale,
like SS or FunTop. Let there be something
typeCrazy Siberian Party - just co-
to all Ukrainian spec fans
some cozy place (best of all -
Tom, somewhere on the bank of a river - lake -
seas - bet...) and discuss the current
situation, talk about joint projects
tah, finally have a beer :). In general -
communicate. I would really like to know your
opinion. If you agree to support
support for the project - write, it is necessary to
talk about organizational issues, promotional activities and
etc.This is just some of the news sent to us
by mail; the rest are structurally built into
other articles :)
And finally: in correspondence with Shiru Otaki
I touched on the project NETSPEC by Looker. I
found out that S.O. had experience in similar
projects; I wanted to know his opinion.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with it!

Well, what can I tell you... B last
there are quite a lot of such ideas floating around.
Only their effectiveness has always been and
is equal to zero... Unfortunately, I don't
I know which factor influences this, but
most likely human. Without really
and an experienced reminder
no gathering of people can do anything
can and will not, even in the absence
any responsibilities. Here's an example:
two and a half years ago I founded
ANGEL2 - a team of amateur programmers
(on PC) who want to write toys. We
united with the goal of simply releasing
freeware-gams under a common label(no matter
dos-vin, si or pascal, or there assm), and
for the purpose of sharing experience. At first everything went well
more or less, then there were quite a lot of people
a lot (20 people) - I didn’t have enough
time to work with each of the participants
team members and organization of all projects
Comrade All participants communicated 90% with me and
only 10% with each other (or even less).
As a result: during all this time we haven’t done a damn thing.
made (three or four releases - mine and ESA;),
There are 17 of us left, and we continue to be absolutely
but do nothing. Although all possibilities
were: both to meet and communicate through
Internet (and your chat, and forum, and acbka with irc,
weekly newsletter - 75 issues already),
and kept the site on paid hosting. That is
I myself, as an organizer, communicated with everyone
(one of our people is from the USA, he is even in

that you could - but you won’t have time everywhere,
Fly to Moscow to chat, and have some beer

especially with so many members.
Result: 2 and a half years wasted

lazy idlers that ANGEL 2 has re-formed

unification of spektrumists, with any
purpose (other than drinking vodka;), not
will succeed without real and experienced
organizer, withoutrod, without permanent
reminders and other things. I just made a

with each other and so on - and I was wrong.
Such things. In fact, maybe I don't
right (maybe my unsuccessful experience forced
makes me skeptical), and
NetSpec will be a successful endeavor. By
at least I would like to hope :)
