The DR pretty much has no internet networking community, so last night an event was held, driven by Adrian (adrianb) of MeetInovators with the support of Diario Libre, DR1 and ROCKRD.

Some of the biggest players in the industry attended and hopefully it's a first step in getting a serious internet related networking community up and running here.

I'm sure some of you will recognize some of the names on the list.
They ranged from the editor of Diario Libre to one one of the biggest Facebook app developes in the world. We also had the head of electronic crimes division from the Policia Nacional, to the director of marketing at Codetel.

Adriano Tejada - Diario Libre
Jos? Rafael Vargas - INDOTEL
Ivko Maksimovic - Facebook apps
Frederick Emam-Zade - Funglode
Gral. Claudio Peguero - Fundador DICAT
Augusto Romano - Comunique*
Thomas Oronti - Nearshore
Fabricio Cabrera - Unibe
Adrian Bye - MeetInnovators
Arturo Lopez Valerio - Numericit
Carlos Miranda Levy - Educar.org*
Rosendo Alvarez - Fundador de Innov-e

Felipe Pag?s - Publicitaria Pag?s

Glad to see that people are still meeting each other, the very first internet comunity meeting was held early of 1996 at Hotel Matun of Santiago City, at that time, only few account was available, and internet access was virtually free: one login account can be used for multiple access via dial-in... we where using IRC channel #santiago. ;)

In dominican, Internet where introduced several years before the rest of America, Codetel made this possible.

Boy at that time now is father of family, sometime next year we should meet again, just to remember those 486 + 9600 modem + IRC days.
