I just recently returned from the Soviet Union, and have documented
some VERY INTERESTING things going on over there. I think that the
UseNet sites might be able to use some of the very useful information
I was able to gather. Some of this information is:
A) Whats involved in setting up joint Software Development Projects
with the Soviets.
B) Inexpensive Electronic Mail facilities now available between
San Francisco and Moscow.
C) Do's and Don'ts on dealing with the Soviets.
D) Some very interesting opportunities for information exchange
between the Soviets and Western worlds.
I have just returned from the USSR, and for the past week, have
been recording and documenting my 3 week trip which covered Leningrad,
Tbilisi, and Moscow.
I was allowed total freedom to meet with whoever I wanted, and hung
out with the Soviet computer programmers from the Academy of Sciences
in Leningrad and Moscow. I know what kind of computers they are using,
and the languages they prefer to use.
I suspect that I'll have the paper completed by sometime over the
weekend, and are asking the UseNet gurus where this information might
reside.
If no specific newsgroup is set of for Joint Ventures with the Soviets
how does one set up something like that.
In 3 weeks, I'll be directly connected to Moscow through a Satellite
network, and I hope to be connected to a number of institutions using
computers, and special languages. I want to share these experiences
with others, and hope that someday they can ALSO visit the Soviet
Union and meet the fine people I had the chance to meet.
