Today an independent Web 2.0 style social network dedicated to ProE users was created at
Membership to ProE.net is free for life. And thanks to it's independence ProE.net members are free to share their experiences and speak their mind in an open environment.
Deelip Menezes Deelip's company is SYCODE. About this company, Deelip says the following, on his blog: SYCODET develops cutting-edge software solutions for the Computer Aided Design (CAD) industry. Our solutions are in the form of standalone applications or plug-ins that work inside major CAD systems such as Autodesk® AutoCAD®, Autodesk Inventor®, Autodesk 3D Studio MAX®, Autodesk VIZ®, Autodesk Maya®, SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, SpaceClaim®, Alibre Design®, Rhinoceros®, IntelliCAD®, etc.
Pro/e is evidently in the etc. category. However, in his introductory promotion of this site (aka, social network), he says the following: Welcome to ProE.net. I am Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE and creator of ProE.net. I have created ProE.net as a Web 2.0 kind of a social network where Pro/E users all over the world are able to interact with each other, discuss issues surrounding Pro/E and help each other out. By it sheer design, ProE.net is far more proactive than any other Pro/E related online resource out there. And thanks to it's independence ProE.net members are free to share their experiences and speak their mind in an open environment.
ProE.net offers its members a Web 2.0 experience like no other Pro/E related online resource. Among many things a member can: 1) Use the forums to ask and offer help and keep up to speed with all things Pro/E. 2) Post on the ProE.net network blog. If you always wanted to blog but never got down to doing it, maybe now's the time. 3) Create or join groups of members. 4) Chat with other online members. 5) Share photos and videos. 6) Post events such as user meetings, tradeshows, etc. 7) Invite other Pro/E users and help build the social network.
Membership to ProE.net is free for life.
I am badly in need of suggestions on how to make this social network valuable to Pro/E users. If something crosses your mind, please drop me a line at deelip (at) sycode (dot) com.
So, my idea, Deelip, is that I would not start such a grand venture if I had no idea of how useful it might be or of how valuable/valued/needed/wanted (i.e. elementary consumer research) to the user. Shame on you for starting something in YOUR interest and coming here, to a viable, free, user-friendly environment and asking us what your self-serving enterprise might do for us!!! I have an idea of what you might do for us ..... FUCK OFF (or make even a piddling contribution which you haven't so far, parasite).
Best and most professional regards, Yours, truly, David Janes, PE
ps, BTW, your name sounds like a very interesting combination of Indian and Portuguese. In the city of Goa, India, I shouldn't wonder. But, of course, I do. What's this town, Goa, like anyway!?! Pirates? A history like Genoa, Italy? Lisbon, Portugal? Worth a visit? More people have heard of Chalakudi, Kerala State.... why go(ah?)
