Re: Relaunching Open Dylan on Windows requires ... (Part 1)

Bruce, 

sorry for the ragged last email. (I had to switch from the dylan channel
to the family channel and pinched the wrong button.)

What I try to reach for Open Dylan this year is:

- Build up contacts to firms. Try to convince them that an engagement in
  dylan is more than a playground. 

- Try to convince them to found this open source work

But that requires to prepare in the run-up those long emails. 
(Otherwise I won't have the courage to contact them.)

In the area I live there are several universities. So I have the plan to 
contact them. I like to lend myself for dylan playground session. 
I think dylan is a very good programming language to play with the soc-concept, the separation of concern concept. Of course, the compiler 
itsself can be good playground for any computer science student. 
What I like to show with last long email is: Dylan is near to upcoming
windows mainstream age!

At the end of 2013 I hope that I can make a statement, about how to get 
Open Dyla founded in the long-term. To formulate it a little bit mystical:
I currently feel that the year 2013 has a good aura for dylan. But aura alone won't help, I think we need some prayers, too. I well understand your forcing of tangible things, but my way of living is 'pray first'. 

So excuse that coding is not my primary interest. I first will try to support that the community gets a tangible base. 
Then I think I will enjoy coding as well, too.

Thanks, for your invitation. Please excuse, but I wantn't engage in this direction before march. I currently will work on some long emails. Otherwise I feel I have no base for my fund rising work. 
Don' ask me, whether I believe it will be successful. I don't know. 
But yes, I believe with some prayers in the background this venture will be successful.

My greetings,

  pet-ro
