<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I am a Mining Engineer by training but I have moved into SAP BW in the last eight months. I work for Ingwe Coal Corporation as the BW Technical administrator. I am based in Middelburg in Mpumalanga but I work in Witbank.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I work exclusively on Windows at work; at home I run both Windows and Linux(Redhat 7.0 and 8.0). During my spare time I do VB6, Java and PHP programming as a hobby and I am currently learning Perl. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We have just reached 30 members :) Thanks to everybody that helped in this </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>effort.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just a quick update - I will be in Helsinki next week to present an African </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>FLOSS report to the Finish Government. I will try to access my mail everyday, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>but in the event that I do not - PLEASE don't break anything in here :)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In the mean time, how about some introductions? I would like to know where you </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>all are ( physical city ) and what you do full time. This purely optional, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>but might proof interesting none the less. It would also help me plan a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>meeting later on - deciding on the city etc. I would also like to hear some </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>suggestions as to what you think about a general annual meeting. If our </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>numbers permit, I can also spread the za.pm workload in areas such as mailing </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>list admin, web site maintainer(s) etc - please give me your thoughts on </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>these issues.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To practice what I preach - here goes:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I an in Johannesburg and full time employee of First National Bank as a Perl </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>programmer in the Linux Team. The rest of the time I stay out of trouble by </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>working on various unfinished projects - and even try to spend some quality </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>time with my wife. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers</FONT>
