Software Developers Day

Yesterday (March 2, 2005) I attended Software Developers Day in Jakarta. The event was organized by Aspiluki (Association of Software House in Indonesia). I arrived a little late, since I have to take a train from Bandung to Jakarta. I arrived at the venue just at the very end of pak Putu's presentation. He is from Departemen Perindustrian (Ministry of Industry). There were other representatives from the Government side.

After that there were representatives from multinational companies; Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Oracle, HP, and Sun. They were asked to tell the audience about their software roadmap and what can the developers expect from them. One of the insteresting questions was put by the moderator (Didik from Inixindo). He asked whether at one time or another the panelists have idea to tell their CEOs that they should bring work to Indonesia. The answer was dissapointing, in my opinion. I've got an impression that they don't believe the non-technical capabilities of Indonesian developers.

In the afternoon, well it was late afternoon since the whole thing was delayed for 1 hour, I gave a presentation on "Security Implementation in Mission Critical Applications." My presentation was basically on software security, or the lack of. (Presentation material will be posted in my presentation web site: budi.insan.co.id/presentations.) Enjoy ...

Seperti yg saya alami begitu sulit mencari tenaga kerja programmer yang mumpuni ! hmmm

Kalau secara teknis, sudah mulai banyak programmer Indonesia yang mahir. Hanya, memang mereka sudah terpakai di berbagai tempat. Jadi dari segi kualitas, kita boleh bangga.

Akan tetapi dari kuantitas (jumlah) yang berkualitas ini, memang masih menjadi masalah. Banyak memang lulusan IT (perguruan tinggi, sekolah tinggi, training center). Namun yang banyak ini kualitasnya masih kurang.

Jadi jika anda kesulitan mencari technical skill yang mumpuni, itu karena anda kalah bersaing saja.

Nah, bagaimana kita bisa menghasilkan yang jago-jago dalam jumlah yang banyak?

ya mungkin saja pak ! kalah bersaing mencari programmer handal . Mungkin incentive yang perusahaan berikan tidak sesuai harapan mereka .
Gak heran banyak yg lari ke luar negeri mencari penghidupan lebih baik . Plus juga mencari pengalaman programming lebih mantap . Disana kan kita bekerja dengan programmer yang udah mature dengan segala macam tools dan ilmu yang mereka miliki. Intinya di Indonesia ,IMHO ,banyak perusahaan software tidak benar2 niat mengembangkan usahanya . Apalagi software house kecil2 seperti perusahaan saya . Meski projectnya gede , tapi pengembangan softwarenya masih awut-awutan .
Hmm..mungkin ini juga tantangan bagi saya .. taulah

Pak Budi,
menarik sekali presentasinya. Saya baru tahu bahwa Formal Methods termasuk Formal Verification dipakai juga di IT Security. Saya cuma melakukan Formal Verification pada Verilog dan VHDL models, tapi setelah membaca presntasi pak Budi jadi ingin mempelajari lebih dalam! It#s very interesting presentation, pak Budi!

hmm .. saya sendiri berpikiran begitu: "Computer programming is my hobby, but I don't want to be working as programmer if it is in Indo...". You might easily guess why. Actually, we have them a lot. But most of them don't really have good determination, differentiation and consistency... it's too "normal-distribution" ;-))

Himbauan Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia

Kepada Hacker & Cracker Indonesia & Malaysia, Saya mengharapkan anda tidak melakukan penyerangan atau/dan pengrusakan situs-situs Indonesia dan Malaysia. Saya mengerti bahwa akhir-akhir ini beberapa masalah di dunia nyata membuat kita kesal dan marah. Namun kekesalan tersebut sebaiknya tidak dilimpahkan ke dunia maya (cyberspace). Semestinya sebelum melakukan aksi yang berdampak negatif, kita bisa melakukan langkah-langkah positif seperti melakukan dialog (melalui email, mailing list, bulletin board, blog, dan media elektronik lainnya). Kita harus ingat bahwa kita hidup bertetangga dan bersaudara. Yang namanya hidup bertetangga pasti mengalami perbedaan pendapat. Mari kita belajar bertetangga dengan baik. Saya berharap agar kita yang hidup di dunia maya mencontohkan bagaimana kita menyelesaikan permasalahan dengan kepala dingin dan hati yang lapang, sehingga para pemimpin kita di dunia nyata dapat mencontoh penyelesaian damai. Mudah-mudahan mereka dapat lebih arif dan bijaksana

More bad news with Malaysia - Indonesia

I've got more emails and news about bad news between Indonesia and Malaysia. To be exact, there was a news about RELA (not sure what that is) that goes out after Indonesians in Malaysia. There were incidents where they hit Indonesians, rob, and do horrible things. I cannot even write this is my blog. I am so sad and frustrated. What's going on with Malaysia (and Malaysians)? What did we - Indonesian(s) - do to deserve this? I thought there should be less boundary between Indonesia and Malaysia. But ... What's going on there, bro & sis? You know, more Indonesians now feel that they are offended by Malaysians. I can tell you that this bad feeling is increasing. This is a bad publicity towards Malaysia. People are now creating various calling names, such as "Malingsia" (it's a short of "maling" [thief] "siah" [you, Sundanese]), and worse.

Say NO to APJII!

Prolog At the end of 1997, I went back to Indonesia from my studies and work in Canada. The .ID domain management in Indonesia at that time was in a confusing state. Nobody wanted to manage it. Universitas Indonesia (UI) - the original maintainer - was in a fight with APJII (the Association of Indonesian ISP). In the end, IANA gave me a mandate to manage the .ID domain. Since then, I manage the .ID domain with open management. There are problems, but mostly minors. Until recently, when APJII (again) is trying to take over the .ID domain management from my team. Here's a short info to give you a head start. Short summary APJII (the association of ISP in Indonesia) is trying to takeover the .ID domain management in Indonesia. They have tried and will try everything to take over. Long description I've been managing the .ID domain since the end of 1997. At that time, nobody wanted to run the domain management. First of all, a brief description of how we run things. To run the .ID d
