Tim Tripcony · 1 year ago

Perhaps the emergence of this society will help dispel the myth that most Notes teams are understaffed. ;)

Steve McDonagh · 1 year ago

Tim

Indeed.. :-) We are out there and probably not as fussy as "The Masons"
and we are a lot easier to join! The prestige associated of being a GONAD
may indeed increase the size of teams as more and more people actually want
to be one.

Brother McDonagh (USA branch) and I are in discussion about mechanizing
a TeeShirt and or badges so you can proclaim your GONAD-ness to the world,
a booth at LS09. The annual "Dogs Bollox" award to the person or people who
have most added tot he world of GONADs in the previous year. The "Crimson
Athletic GONAD Support" for life time achievement.

Has M$ got anything like GONAD? No they do not!. In fact I have often heard
it said M$ has no GONADs. And now Notes/Domino has 1000's!

I say (in a loud officious voice) "M$ look at our GONADs! Marvel at
their reproductive
prowess as they produce quality applications day after day after day and
on loads
of platforms GONADs are nothing if not platform promiscuous!

domain with many O's and OU's it is more you current location document
that defines your chapter. The proximity to other brethern and sistern

Sorry for the delay , I have been a bit lax on the GONAD front of late
and let several
requests build up in my INBOX. I would like to blame my wife for keeping
me busy at
home, but she is reading this over my shoulder so I can't. ;-)

Anyway better late than never!
So without further ado, welcome to the worldwide brother and sisterhood
(yes we have 5 sisters!) of GONAD!

Since I see from your blog you are orginally from India I have enrolled
you in both the USA and Indian Chapters!
