Public opinion poll
So, regarding public opinion poll.
Our group was asking people if they are aware of the ecological problems of Teghut forest and what are their thoughts regarding the issue.
For information: The Armenian Copper Programme, a privately owned company, plans to build a massive open-pit copper mine in the small town of Teghut, Armenia. The mine threatens local ecosystems and communities. Here are some of the problems it poses: Increased deforestation, Threatened wildlife, Air pollution, Water pollution.

Results:
Some said, that our government wants to make places where people can work. We can't say that it's wrong, but we think that forests are also important. And what is interesting??? Many people really believe that the government is ready to do everything for the improvement of the nation. Some people are against the destruction of the forest.
Some people think that they form a minority and can't change anything. There was a guy, who said that he doesn't want to do anything, because he doesn't like the country and is planning to leave forever. We continued our discussion with the guy and he became interested in DOTCOM and what we do. We exchanged our contacts, as he said he would be glad to cooperate.

BarCamp
Skype.Let's talk!
Hi,DOTCOMers.
Here is an interesting info about "Skype".Please read it.
Skype (IPA: [skaɪp]) is software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Calls to other users of the service and to free-of-charge numbers are free, while calls to other landlines and mobile phones can be made for a fee. Additional features include instant messaging,file transfer and video conferencing.
The system was created by entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis, and a team of software developers based in Tallinn, Estonia.[1] The Skype Group has its headquarters in Luxembourg, with offices in London, Tallinn, Tartu, Stockholm, Prague,[2] and San Jose.
And now I can say,that Skype is very useful tool.I suggest all armenian DOTCOMers to register in Skype and use it to connect to each other.
Let's write our Skype nik-names in the comments of this post and talk more.
And here is an interesting video about Skype.
