Our meetup proceed as usual last nite, and we had some discussion and demo on embedded systems. More on that in my other blog entries.
The not so usual thing about last nite was that we had a visitor (though it’s not that unsual to have visitors), named Harisfazillah, usually known as Hafnie, and nicknamed LinuxMalaysia (not so sure about the LinuxMalaysia, but that’s what he put in my shoutbox :p ). Bro Hafnie was one of the first guys that I knew from Malaysian Linux community. At that time I was at bincang.net (BDN) and ittutor.net (ittutor). And the story goes till I came across mypenguin99, MyOSS, and few other groups. 3xb055 (the name of our usrah, 3b(Bandar Baru Bangi) 055 (OSS) is a group by itself, and being in one group doesn’t mean we’re not joining other groups as well. We’re just divided by specific interest, and by geography factor, but when it comes to FLOSS, we’re actually one.
What brings Bro Hafnie to Bangi last nite, apart from joining the fun with our weekly meetup, was to see if there’s any way that we can collaborate with his weekly meetup group at Ampang, discuss on available facilities and how to utilize them, and also some discussion on future directions and activities. It’s interesting to see if FLOSS groups in Malaysia can at one time combine force and come out with some big event or anything like that..

Leave a CommentHi there, nice to hear that 3boss is going well, but you should really put up the details/schedule somewhere public so that you can get more visitors.
If possible, could yo upass me Hafnie’s contact, or maybe all of us can get together and discuss how to get the whole .my community united.
Cheers,
Aizat

Thanks. I’ll try to dedicate one section of my website to 3boss, and see how things goes.
One of his hideout is at http://linuxdotmy.multiply.com/ and linuxmalaysia is his YM ID. If someone can do the coordination job, then I don’t see it as a problem. Any takers?
