Let's get started

I came up with this name Bahrain Techies United for our group but I'm open for suggestions


The objectives are:
  • Facilitate smooth and systematic knowledge sharing, through social interactions between hard core techies.
  • Engage in group-exploration of IT related challenges in career aspects, technologies, change, and management
  • Broaden the views of the participants to facets of business and customer driven necessities in the pursue of technological ecstasies
  • Direct the members' energies and frustrations towards positive and focused intellectual challenges

Here are the suggested "Terms of Conduct". Please feel free to amend or add your own

  • A social, semi-formal gathering of interested techies on a frequent basis
  • An online forum/blog briefing on the gathering and the topics/discussions raised, to be maintained by the group members for the members.
  • Guests of sound and deep expertise of a knowledge body of interest to the members are welcomed to participate. this practice is elemental to diversify the knowledge
  • Members should have/show good command and moderate knowledge of IT
  • Everybody should participate
Some of the suggested topics
  • Bringing TV and PC closer, the dreambox way
  • Let's Opensource: Open Source tools for Developers, IT Specialists, Database Admins,
  • Games that matter: Gaming socio-technical stuff
  • RSS rules: using RSS reader to gather and access information
  • Mashups: the new wave on the net
  • Web 2.0: the reincarnation

Guys, please comment and amend.
