The Beijing Macintosh User Group is turning five this year. One of
our members had this idea of getting the Woz involved in this
festivities. After all, the Steve hasn't visited China yet, and
you've heard that old line -- China, this nation with 1.3 billion
potential Mac people... ;-)
I understand Woz is pretty active in user groups. (I'm also thankful
to Apple and to Steve for keeping the User Groups program alive - and
now that I'm in the mood, also thanks the three boards and Jeff, and
everyone on board -- the first five years were great, but I'm sure
they were just the beginning.) To be frank, we're more than a little
out of money to buy Woz a flight ticket to Beijing (although it would
be great if he could visit). I was thinking if there could be a
little prerecorded iSight movie or something... there is indeed quite
a "two-Steves fan base" in the People's Republic and of course,
plenty of Mac users and would-be Mac citizens.
Our group has been pretty active in the past five years and serves as
a yardstick of what's to come. We've mushroomed to around 300-400
members (and we're redoing our database), and our online community
reached around 3,000 all these years. People are beginning to take
note of "this BeiMac thing", and we've had around 40-50 meetings. I
know that there is a lot of enthusiasm in the group, and there are a
lot of people who'd like to do even more for not just the group, but
also the "Zhonghua Pingmin" - Mac people of China.
If anyone could help me in this matter it would be most
appreciated. :-) Our 5th anniv bash is scheduled for March 24, 2007
-- I know, a tad late, but that's due to a late Chinese New Year.
All the best,
David Feng
BeiMac, Beijing
