18th of December is the most possible date for the next Kelas Presentasi. Last week, Degi agreed present one. Something on photography. Wow, it could have been an interesting one. But the 4th of December session didn't happen.
Anyway, Nikma did one on the same topic several months ago. I think Degi could build up on what Nikma has laid. He can also add more depth on techniques to use an SLR camera. Deg, you may need to ask participants to bring their camera? I will bring mine, a standard Canon Digital SLR D400.
Lia said she is also interested to make a presentation. Her little cute baby didn't let her go last week. She couldn't make it even to reach the office. This is not a big deal. She may be still interested to present her ideas on the 18th.
Any other takers? Fitri? on your Web2 Social Networking? Somebody elses? Arif? Tony? Rachman? Come on guys, don't let Pak Atang dissapointed again! After the lunch time last 4th of December, he rang me, "Sorry .. I forgot to prepare the LCD!" He was in a deep release when I told him the we cancelled the class! :D

More Excuses Needed?
What a shame! But why should be ashamed? The 4th of December session didn't materialize. It is true! But the fact that none responded to my long letter (with carefully selected words to provoke participation!) should tell something! May be a lack of interest or something? Or the Kelas is not that interesting to spend our precious hour, even only once in two weeks? But why? And why can't somebody tell me?
I have been dreaming of a session everybody is impatiently waiting for, eager to wait for their turn to present some thoughts, attentively observing friends presenting, and also willing to making comments.
But Kelas Presentasi is dying now. I recall what I have been trying to do, applying what the old wise man once told me: "Be careful not to make them too independent!" I may have been wrong in taking the advise too bodly. Instead, I should have put more time and energy to make the dream come true? Moreover, many say this is a good initiative! Hmmmmm ....
