Dear colleagues,
instead of the usual Christmas greetings I proudly present
to you a mathematical exercise which proves that we should
better work more slowly if we want to get rich.
Best wishes (and all the best for Christmas 2000 and for 2001)
Best wishes
Otto
*****************************************************
WHY YOU GET RICHER BY WORKING AT SLOWER SPEED
Fact 1: Time is Money (i.e. Time = Money)
Fact 2: The Way is the Goal (i.e. Way = Goal)
[at least in German language we have a saying
"Der Weg ist das Ziel", i.e. the way is the goal]
Elementary physics: Speed = Way / Time
Now by facts 1 and 2 we can reformulate the physical fact towards:
Speed = Goal / Money
and
Money = Goal / Speed.
Conclusion:
In order to reach a specific fixed goal (maybe a project milestone),
it is better to work at very slow speed
since by doing so you will make more money.
[Malicious persons could conclude that you would then have
to *invest* more money but this interpretation is not wanted (by me)].
Dear friends,
I wish to all of you a Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR, NEW CENTURY
and NEW MILLENIUM.
Best regards
Ramon

Dear TC6 members,
I received two comments on the Aims and Scope of the WGs until the
deadline (last Friday). They came from Arun Iyengar and Peter Radford. I
attach them to this mail.
If anyone wishes to react please send your comments to the TC6 list
until the end of this week (22/12). After that date I will revise the
document according to the received comments and will forward the revised
document to you.
Best regards

Subject: Working Groups' Aims and Scopes
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 18:37:51 -0000
From: "Radford, Peter" <RadfordP(a)logica.com>
To: "Casaca Augusto [TC6] (E-mail)" <Augusto.Casaca(a)inesc.pt>
Augusto
Just a few comments:
One general comment is that it is noticeable how many of the Groups have
QoS/Quality of Service some in their Aims and Scopes!
A second comment is that the Aims and Scopes ought to be in the same font
throughout.
More specific points:
WG6.1
For consistency with the other Aims, the Aims here ought not to be bullet
points.
WG6.3
There's a typing error in the second Scope bullet point ("addmission" should
be "admission")
I'm not sure what the fourth bullet point ("... technology towards
internetworking of communication systems") is trying to say; it does not do
it very well!
WG6.4
For consistency the Infrastructure, Applications and Performance ought to be
bullet points.
How does Performance here relate to WG6.3?
WG6.6
I'd put the two sentences of the Aims as separate paragraphs.
The sentence beginning "The scope of WG6.6 ..." is long and complicated; can
it be split and rephrased? (I'll have a go if you'd like.) In any case,
"continuous" ought to be "continuously".
WG6.7
In the Scope I would write "concentrate on research into telecommunications"
in the first line.
I would start the second sentence "The concept of Intelligent Networks (IN)
was ..."
WG6.8
Do we need both "land and space" and "terrestrial and satellite" in the
Aims? (I'd just put "terrestrial and space".)
Get back to me if you want anything more doing or if there's anything you
don't understand.
Regards
Peter

Subject: [ifip-tc6] WG aims and scope
Dear TC6 members,
Following the discussion in our last meeting and also the suggestions
made in the IFIP Technical Assembly, I prepared a revised list of the
aims and scope of the TC6 WGs, which I submit for your approval.
I remind you that the idea was to give more uniformity to the different
descriptions of the WGs and also to find a new name to WG 6.11. The old
name (Electronic Commerce) was too broad for IFIP as included activity
of other TCs as well. I had the collaboration of the WG chairmen
involved in these modifications and I hope that the attached document
expresses their ideas correctly.
I will wait for your comments until December 15. No comments mean
approval of the document from your side.
After approval at TC6 level I will submit it again to the TA by mail.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

Hopefully, at least we won't have "pregnant chads" by emails (I hope), but
"butterfly ballots" are not excluded...
