What is Roam?

What is Roam?
Roam in brief in English.
Summary
- Welcome
- Comments and suggestions
Welcome
Let me briefly introduce our UserGroup:
Roam (Rome Owners of Apple Macintosh - an AMUG), born in July 7 1999, in late 2000 adopts the slogan: "Conoscere
Possibile". In a decent English you can translate it as "Possible Knowledge". This describes the way we have been trying to help the Computer Users (in particular but
not exclusively Mac users) Community:
Helping them to understand.
Understand what?
- The computer is an Instrument, nothing else
- Developing for a platform is the one and only way to keep this platform alive
- Nothing is too difficult to Understand, it's simply very hard to explain, especially if you don't want to.
Based onto these points, we are trying to have the more contacts we can with people around the world that share our vision and are, and wants to, "really" able to help
others.
Our actual contributors are teachers, technical writers, journalists, as well as users that share thoughts and facts.
This has been true since 1999, but is more and more true today, cause we're entering in a new community (Unix), and a lot of MacUsers feels lost.
Spite of these
goals we're (and we intend to remain) a no-profit free organisation that lives exclusively with volunteers contribution on the web. We don't receive, give or treat one
EuroCent. We don't want sponsorships or banner. The www.roam.it website and his domain fees are totally charged to co-Founders and me.
Some more words to clarify:
- We encourage the freedom of speech, but no insult or injury is consented and/or published. No polithics, religion, sex or sport (about that, please try to
understand us, we live in Italy :)) facts are treated.
- My english is poor, some unkindness in this page could have been orginated by this.
Feel free to contact us and thanks for the time you dedicated to us reading this page.
Best regards
Eugenio MORASSI
President & Co-Founder
