I have borrowed heavily from your InstallFest page. http://www.svlug.org/installfest/index.shtml (- Nice work.) I will, of course, give credit to svlug.com. Our InstallFest page is not up yet, but it will be over the next couple of days at http://www.slug.no/.

I have a web site that sells domain names for much cheaper, and would like to exchange links with you. You can check out my site at http://www.accelocom.com/domain_name_registration.shtml. If you add a link to that page with the text "Domain Name Registration" I will add a link to your page on my site. The domain names cost $9.95 and less - no strings attached. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Chris Rogert P.S. If you happened to buy your domain name at Register.com you can transfer it to my registrar and stop paying Register.com outlandish fees. I also offer a cool domain name finder that you can download for free!

I have studied information society, which seems different from modern society, for two years. I have researched Silicon Valley since I came here because I think Silicon Valley is one type of the information society. In thisresearch, I would like to know how workers engaged in high-tech industry in Silicon Valley think about their job, family, and how they live their life, constructing their own personal relationships. And then I’d like to compare those thinking ways andlifestyle with those in modern society. I would like you to answer my questionnaire or take my interview, if possible. It is because you are one of the workers engaged in high technology industry at Silicon Valley. Could you answer my questionnaire or take my interview? If you can answer the questionnaire, I am going to send it to you by email. If you can take my interview, please contact me. If you have any questions, please ask me. I am so sorry for a sudden mail. I hope you will reply to me.

Dholakia) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:38 2005 Subject: [web-team] Request from academic researcher Message-ID: Dear Linux User Group Moderator: I am a faculty member in the Jones school of management at Rice University in Houston, Texas (this may be verified using a Google search with "Paul Dholakia", or "Utpal Dholakia"). We are conducting an academic research project, studying social interactions online, and how communities organized around products or brands are formed, from a sociological perspective. In this regard, LINUX user groups and mailing lists provide a wonderful context to study these sociological issues. We are conducting a survey of members of LINUX user groups/ mailing lists seeking information on different elements of their thoughts, feelings, and motivations of participating in such groups, and the value of the group to them... The survey is available on the web at the following URL: http://www.surveypro.com/cgi-bin/surveypro/run_survey.cgi?id=2444 Of course, this research is strictly academic, and has no commercial links or interests whatsoever. We hope to publish this research in a sociology journal. As a small token of our appreciation for participants' time, and in the spirit of the philosophy underlying the open-source movement, we will donate $500 total to the five favorite organizations/ groups of our participants' choice (we ask the participant's to nominate their favorite groups in the survey). I am writing to seek your help in conducting this research, first through participating, and second, through encouraging your user group members to participate in the research.. This will not take more than ten minutes of your (and their time). Broad participation will increase the validity and generalizability of our findings, making the research more useful. We welcome all help, and look forward to hearing from you.
