We now have a couple of new things in our sidebar on the right:

One thing I have been wondering about Obama and what he said yesterday is what he means for Silicon Valley and Industry/Tech generally. Specifically, what does it mean to eliminate capital gains for start-ups, and stopping tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and giving them to companies that create jobs in the US of A? To keep the discussion in one place, I’d like–with the indulgence of PTH adminstoration, to invite folks to discuss this on our Wadi Blog in Silicon Valley:

Though for issues specifically related to tech and industry in Pakistan and/or NEDians role in this, let’s talk here, or on the Pak Tea House.

We’ve been on hiatus here at NED Nama for a bit. It had to do with our Editor having some catching up to do, and some organizational work to be done.
The good news, as you will see in the immediate future includes:
- NED Alumni Association of Silicon Valley (NEDians SV) is being formalized as an organization.
- NED Alumni Association of Southern California (NEDAASC) is coming to fruition, too.
- Two academic competitions are being held at NED (TechElite08 and SPEC2008), and which we’re hoping to get regular updates on.
- … more and regular information that you, our readers will send in…right?

It is time to get back to work on the NED Nama.
First of all, apologies for disappearing on the community for a while. I had had a family emergency and then got backlogged with various things, including the recent events in Pakistan.
The purpose of this blog was always long term, and not just for the convention. We do plan to keep going. There are events NEDians are part of–and events in the lives of NEDians; a pending “answer” to a riddle we’d posted here; updates on NEDian organizations around the world; NEDians expressing opinions–even an NEDian security consultant who’s views and assessements can now be heard on Pakistani television–via YouTube. And I have been working to expand the team and see if we can recruit an editor. I think I am almost there…
So, let’s get down to business.

One tradition of the blogosphere is a blogroll, a list of blogs that the owners/editors/writers of a blog read, like, etc. You can now see in the righthand column of this site lists of links. So far, we have a list of blogs by NEDians; a list of blogs that NEDians contribute to and/or edit; a list of sarkari sites related to NED, engineering etc.; a list of neem-sarkari sites for alumni, and so on; …
Please contribute entries, suggestions, ideas, etc. for this. You can leave a comment on this post or send me email.
Secondly, we need people to send in material, items, entries, articles, pictures, links, and so on. If you want to contribute more often, please register with the site and send me a request to set you up as a contributor, so you can post material directly.
And most urgently, with the convention fast approaching, if you’re going to be there and can blog from the convention, please do drop a line, so we can set you up to keep NEDians who can’t make it, and everyone else up-to-the-minute during the convention.
The icons at the top now include an icon that links to pictures of the recent convention held hosted by the NED Alumni Association of New England. (You can also find comments, media reports and more about the convention on their site. There is a formal PDF Report as well.)
