Editors Speak : 7000 Hits.

Yes,the name has changed,from personal messages at regular milestones,like the number of hits on the hit counter,or just the passing of another month.(Keeping in mind,the Blogzine status of this Blog ,we have changed from personal messages by paz to Editors Speak)

We seek to set these both(Every passing Month/Hits) as our milestones in this never ending(at least for the next 3 years),journey of lifeatgitamhyd .

Today,we have hosted a new template,in remembrance of the Mangalore crash victims.

We are doing our bit by choosing not to  publish any celebratory posts,like the tradition has been,for example,during the 2000 Hits,we came up with a bundle of SCOOP!! articles(Four to be precise),and similarly at 2700 Hits,we launched the Blog,into the world of Twitter and Facebook (Fan Page),thought the twitter account,has been dormant for quite some time,some how,Tweets have not really caught up with Rudraram,and we will wait for the juniors,before we re-activate the twitter account :),in memory of the victims.

The SCOOP!!’s,posts can all wait for a couple of days,but expressing condolences can’t.

COMMNUITY:

But,nevertheless,We choose to throw,some more light on the LAGH Community,which has been in the development for quite some time now(a week),we recently published a stand alone post,informing,the readers about the conception  of the online Students portal.

I would like to clear some mist which covers the details about the Community.

• It is a Students portal(SP) for the students of GITAM UNVIERSITY HYDERABAD.
• Your associating with the SP,doesn't imply your associating with this Blog.
• We don’t seek to promote the Blog,via the SP,(it is the other way round actually :p)

We came to a conclusion,that GITAM UNIVERSITY Hyderabad,desperately needs a students portal,where the students of GITAM can,express,and showcase their interest in various fields,and not to forget ,debate and discuss sensitive topics(Not,Porn :)),away from the eyes of the faculty and management.

orkut/Facebook,are not privacy protected,by if they are privacy protected,it snatches away the core reason for an online group.

So,the Students portal,is here to address the needs of all the students alike(Be it the groups like  Saints(IT),Freaks(CSE),Rebels(EEE),Crusaders(ECE),Mob(Union),Frisky(CSE) or just gitamites)

Note:Stream in parenthesis,indicate majority of students hailing from that group.

START UP:

Now,the main issue on hand,After publishing the sneak peak of the Students Portal,We have personally received quite some queries like,

• “I hate your blog(Cause,my groups;stream wants to..:P),Can I join the Students portal ?”
• “I don't support lifeatgitamhyd,will I be looked down,in the SP ?”
• So on and so forth.

I repeat,Some one had to take the initiative ,and We at lifeatgitamhyd have choose to take up the initiative,So,The Lifeatgitamhyd team,will only be providing the required support.

To make matters clear,We have recruited moderators for the Students Portal,who have not been associated with the functioning of the Blog :)

The Blogs team,is pretty small,about 10 odd people,and about 20-30 Contributors,and We still don’t wanna reveal the number of observers we have got :P,the cadre was officially revealed,when the 3800 hits came up,click Here.

but,the Observers,still remain concealed,unlike the top contributors,who have been stripped apart of their anonymity,either by their own deeds or the Blogs,but that is all past.

But,still 30 odd strong contributors,still remain hidden,And a reminder,they are not just restricted  to the b.tech stream :)

 JUNIORS:

Yes,we have already got quite a good set of juniors onto the ranks of lifeatgitamhyd ,Actually the last two posts on this Blog(Red Fort of Rudraram!,GAT  2010 Counselling ),were handled by the juniors team,with obvious help from the oldies of the Blog.

And their next,assignment,is the big trip to the Campus,an extensive photo session,of the campus,during the GAT Counselling.

We are as desperate as you(the readers) are to check the work of the new team.

360 View:

this new baby of ours is still under development,and require plenty of investment,not just time but funds also (Same with the students portal :))

Campus 360,aims to provide a 3d view of GITAM University Hyderabad,we have started the process,ala,the coding,required soft wares,and everything.

But,we are still unsure of our success at the campus 360,with our current crude means and funding.

Nevertheless,we are reluctant to give up on a new idea on petty issues,we choose to take the development of Campus 360 forward,and probably succeed.

Obviously,it takes time,and we have two babies on hand right now,

• Students Portal
• Campus 360

The Students portal is near to completion,thought even after opening the admissions to it,we will be updating it every couples of days.

While,the Campus 360 project is still on paper.

Regards,

lifeatgitamhyd.

p.s.GITAM UNIVERSITY VIZAG,launched their own magazine,Infocus.

We claim that this Blogzine by GITAM UNVIERSITY HYDERABAD is loads better :),from a students point of view.
