ICT Research on TV

[Suneth Ranasinghe]

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the wishes for our research achievements. But considering all the comments that I have received, I guess our Computer Science Special students have some problem with this regard. So let me try to clarify things.

Firstly, that MTV guy had requested our project, Dulindra's and Prabash's one. And since it is the year of ICT and English, he wanted a thorugh description on our project.

Next, he wanted Dulindra's one as it was an overal good performance.

Next, Prabhash was aksed to cum, and he had refused to relate his project for economic development of Sri Lanka.

Please note that, MTV guy was there to take sm captions for the Biz 1st, so it was him who hand picked the projects not ICT ppl or Kasun.

And finally, Kasun requested that person to get a caption from Mr.Wathugala and he (MTV guy) had refused to do so.

Yes, I agree that MTV ppl did not mention the words "UCSC Research Symposium" which was not our fault. It is the task and responsibility of the reporter and the editor.

So misinterpreting such occurences (without knowing real facts)  would only expose the dark sides of ppl. So ts always to think before you leap or speak or type.

And lastly I want to comment that ICT is under the shade of UCSC, so wtever the research carried by ICT students are also UCSC research work. And it is proven that ICT research is also globally accepted (eIndia 2009 : already three researh papers were published in the eIndia 2009 magazine and one was presented in the eIndia 2009 Conference last week). 

I do not know whter this mail had made any one sad or angry. But this mail was only meant to clear out misinterpretations of the ICT research presence on a TV Channel.

Best Regards,

Suneth Ranasinghe

Hi All,

I do agree with Suneth. And if anyone has any issues over regarding this matter, it is MTV whom should be questioned =)

The reporter said to me, that he came to get some recordings for the Biz 1st, so that's why he wanted to relate our projects for the national development. Besides, it is fair and honest development that matters @ the end of the day.

And Kasun even had clearly mentioned "UCSC research symposium" on the tape label which was given to the Reporter.

So hope now all the misconfusions would be washed off by the above mail =)

Mettha,

Yvonne

Hi,

If u know the whole story you wouldn't act like this. Sirasa didn't mentioned about the research symposium..yes. But you know i was there when kasun give all the details about the symposium. He, himself wrote all the projects selected to the symposium on a piece of paper and hand it over to that MTV cameraman. And also kasun clearly mentioned the name "Research Symposium 2009" on the sticker of that TAPE. Don't know how they missed it. But this is the truth. 

And also regarding the comments put up on the face book, Its not only us who see those comments.. there are juniors.....so u r sending them a bad impression. Can't believe how short sited u guys are. I think Prabash, shan know the story....even GUNU...........didn't we ask them to give a voice cut.? And we never thought  that only 2 projects will be there. So we thought giving a voice cut of our project is a part of a whole coverage of Research Symposium. So u decide...............

Regards,

Harshan

I personally have no objections for the interviewed projects as both of them were directly related to general public and product-based. (And the interviews were really good too) But I was clearly shocked when the news mentioned that the Research Symposium was organized by the first batch of ICT undergraduates from UCSC.

The rough English translation would go like this: "UCSC introduced the ICT degree few years ago. The first batch of that degree displayed their projects few days ago."

Mistake or not, that is really unacceptable as so many people worked really hard for the symposium. So me as a CS undergraduate felt, left out when hearing that news.

Anyway I don't think anyone should take this seriously. As I see it, this is just a personal emotional thing that you feel when you come to know that you are completely left out of the scene.

If you live in doubt, you will always see the partially empty glass =) not the partially filled one.

And I know whom and whom did not contribute to research symposium =D and reasons for both =)

To be honest MTV published ViduSuwa as a project done my the medical faculty of UOC after giving them a press release on a CD in our launch.

So u cnt expect much. But ts v who should promote our selves as well rathern than  

styin cornered =)

Mettha,

Yvonne

[Ravin Perera]

one little addition:

I don't speak for a whole batch or anything. I'm just speaking for myself. As I've come to know along these years, there are no batches or groups for human behavior. Different people have different ideas individually. So I totally disagree with people who think this thing as a CS-ICT issue.

Hey Guyz & GirlZ.....

i'm agree with all of u. in news they directly saying "BICT in UCSC". I think they grabbed it from the intros of our voice cuts. in the voice cuts, we mentioned the ucsc & bict, cos it's our project intro. they may have grabbed it from that to their intro.
If anyone talked his about CS project, this thing won't happen. cos he may tell "BCS in UCSC", and thats his intro. So SIRASA people will change their INTRO as "UCSC RS 2009".
we can't relate BCS in our project intro, so they may have think that this is only BICT.
In our voice cuts, we talked more than 5 minutes. but they edited it in to 1 minute or less.

Kasun (DIVIYA) should reply to this mail thread. He'll tel the story about Wathugala Sirs' voice cut.

These are personal thoughts.

Whoever or whatever has done it, it was really BAD(I think it was a mistake). Completely misinterpreted the theme of the event. Since we have a good lesson, it is better to advise our juniors not to do the same mistake again.

[Dulindra Wijethilake]

Completely agree with ravin,

Machan, al explain what has happened, but this is what i think and the logical way i can think of what has happened here,

Even though we had ideas of getting media people somehow it was not successful but, the only one who came to cover the even came with the mind of getting some ideas for "Biz 1st". So his motivation is to relate it to the economy. then he started getting the videos from us. And i have to tell you he has specifically asked for Suneth's Project. So we started giving whatever the voice cuts and everything. In that voice cut i Clearly mentioned that i am an Undergrad @ UCSC following BICT. and further that we are from the Very first BICT batch. and if anyone is telling that Saying we are the first BICT ppl is bad, then i can only say he is a Creep.

And after getting that we all came to get the CS Recordings. on the way i can clearly remember Kasun tharaka asked him to take a voice cut of Wathugala Sir. But at that time he called his news director and said that he only need the projects. So they went to get the CS recordings. 

He wanted to get the projects which he could relate to the economy and i think ppl will understand why that is.(Coz he wants to put it in Biz 1 st). i dont know what happned there. Anyway None of the CS projects were not recorded since most of them are pure researches which are not products. Shanaka refused coz he had to do some demonstrations i guess. Nishantha was in the Audi.

So its simple that he had only 2 ICT projects with him. he took it and we ddnt know when it was gona broadcast. today morning when a junior came and told me i was on the TV only i got to know it has being broadcast. 

Since there were no CS demonstrations on that DVD who ever the editor has got the wrong information that this is only ICT. That we  have control. So he has put some additional parts and Marketed the ICT degree which was very unfortunate. But the reason for him to omit CS is that in that DVD there are only ICT projects and in the introduction of each project we identified ourselves as UCSC ICT students. Who ever the news editor doesn't know that there were CS research also and since this is to be put in biz it was not taken. and in the end the outcome only talked about ICT. So whose fault it is? one to think that is a result of some peoples idea is a real foolishness. Media people do exaggerate. we didn't.

So next time when getting into conclusions please get to know the whole story. and i strongly disagree putting comments on Facebook. Lot of our friends at the industry had a big problem of putting an image in Facebook. what about this one. 

and like yvonne said, for our project they put as it was initiated by the Minister and the medical faculty even though we wrote press releases and gave it on a CD. Doing research would not make a man complete People should try to analyze and understand what happened.  

one thing i don't understand is people always talk about the unity. and when something happens they are the first to talk about racism.(This not for you Nishantha).

Ravin you are a real gentleman (that i know for sure).

What you are saying is if there were at least one CS project voice cut, they will create title correctly.

1. For some reason CS people did not get a chance for that. Only Prabhash got ( It may be due to his (MTV guys) problem ). However this is fact is not related to the problem.

2. How do they get such a confidence and a good knowledge on our courses to say it very clearly. And How do they know that ICT is a recently started sort of things ? ( Was that also a part of project introductions ). Obviously someone has given some information regarding the courses and events ne. Its not just from voice-cuts of project introductions ne ban. 

3. Why did people of two projects attempt to give introductions regrading courses. Is it likely to give such introductions along with projects ?. He didn't asked you what is your course? He might have asked what are the course related to this event ?. That's what matters to him.

4. Think from MTV guys point of view. If you were him.Can you extract course details from a voice cut, confidently ? Y do you bother that much while there are easy ways. You will ask it from someone near you ? Then you will create a report according to the details provided by him.

Hi,

What I really meant to state in my previous mail is that advise our juniors to give enough proper information to media when they are doing such events. That will avoid these kinds of misinterpretations(mistakes). It is important to mention that my previous mail is not intended to offend anyone. Moreover, I do not have any objection about two ICT projects being on the TV. I just want to say the interpretation of RS2009 in that news is bad and not acceptable.

Who ever gave da discription must have forgoten about CS ppl because they wer all ICT.

4. Think from MTV guys point of view. If you were him.Can you extract course details from a voice cut, confidently ? Y do you bother that much while there are easy ways. You will ask it from someone near you ? Then you will create a report according to the details provided by him.

[Dulindra Wijethilake]

I am really amazed that Nuwan is speaking like this. Look nuwan, When i do talk about my project i would definitely tell that i am From UCSC and i follow the BICT Course. And i have clearly mentioned you that i also told that we are the first batch. Sirasa Guy wanted us to do an introduction about the people in the group. So if you are saying that i should tell i am an ICT student and there are also CS Students in my project introduction i say its .......... Crazy. and for someone to ask me to do that is also as i believe "Maha Kuhakakamak". Why shouldn't i tell that i am one from the First batch. Do i have to hide it. Should i hide my degree.

What kind of a dominance is this. Why shouldn't i tell anybody that i am from the First batch of ICT and i am a final year student.

if any of the CS guy would have given his recording then he would have to tell he is a final year student of CS. Its insane for him to say there are ICT also at his project introduction. And Clearly the person should not tell that he is from the first batch of CS. :D 

If i am not wrong he has also asked about shanaka and you(Nuwan) too. Shanaka has told he want to get ready to the demo or something. Kasun tharaka will tell what exactly happened and he will reply today.

And i think the Recording is also not clear for most guys. he asked us to demonstrate it. and after that he asked us to give the Voice cut, but he recorded it. 

and none of us gave an introduction to the event. the introduction is the themselves and their project. so Shanaka nobody forgot that there are CS people. its just that nobody gave an introduction about the event. He was there when the event started in the auditorium. So he must have got what it is. coz there were several introductory speeches from wathugala sir and Ruwan sir. 

So after that if one person from media comes to me and ask to give an introduction about the project i personally would not mention about the setting (about UCSC, Degrees offered, motivation).

Kasun (Boyya), Machan i have no offence for your comments or mails. what you says is true.and i put that comment after you is to stop others putting comments on facebook and make it a big issue and to show to the world and to ask to discuss in the group mail. but Just without knowing people start putting comments, then it would show how unite we are. i know most of the people have this inferior feeling inside. Better to keep it in. People become inferior or superior with their intuition, Personality and with what they have achieved and what they have learned, their believes, standards not from the degree title.

And if anyone is saying putting that link is bad that is selfish. i know lot of people would comment on this. i don't care about selfish people but good people please read and understand. to see such a video is hurting for the people who really work hard for symposium like Nishantha, boyya, Ravin. i know. but it showed some of our people not a bunch of people who were not in the UCSC, even thought it is misinterpreted. everybody had their own right to put if there is a video of them. And where it went wrong is that our so called people with good temperament started to say straightaway with an idea of ICT people have put their name on the TV from a UCSC event. "Thamange hithwala tiyana kunu ayin karama anik ayage hithwalath ithuruwei, Ravinta, boyyata tiyanawa wage upset eka" which is that a bad thing happened, but not that of a CS/ICT problem. 

i can remember the incident of Putting CVs as well. When dr.Anuja has asked to give CVs Only CS CVs were given to her. how ethical is that. but we never made it a big issue. not because i am afraid of CS 40. just because it was some peoples work.

and i also heard that CS people didn't like to do 47 projects for Research symposium in the first place. only 40. i think what has happened (with a mistake by sirasa) now must be a real pain for those people who said to put 40 projects for the research symposium. who are those to decide that. who gave them the right.

I don't have any problem with the projects showed in news but the overall idea given to the general public about the RS2009.

Anyway, it happened  and we can not go back and change it. However people who came to RS2009, People who worked for RS2009, People who have the RS2009 book with them, know the truth. That is enough for me.

Finally I am very happy because I won't have to work with you again.

[Janaka Prabhash Kumarasinghe]

Hi friends,

It took a long time to read the conversation. I just saw the email since I was not in Colombo.

Since my name was mentioned several times, I would like to mention what happened as I know. If you have time, please have a look.

The fact that Kasun Tharaka also asked me to do a presentation to Sirasa (MTV Media) is true. He came to me even. It was about 11.30 by that time. Only myself, Girisha, Nuwan (GNU) were the guys who had finished the presentations of RS2009. Frankly, Kasun Tharaka wanted to put two of our projects. Since Gira was too busy with the anouncing, myself, GNU (Nuwan) and Shanka was asked to do a DEMO.

While they were capturing the demonstration of Yvonne, Dulindra, Saathviga ... in the mini auditorium, myself and GNU went to fourth year lab.

You all may know that my project has a huge process in setting up. The Y cable in Engineering department was broken. But, Nalaka ayya called some other person and I prepared the demonstration with another Y cable. (Y cable is for dividing the screen output both to HMD and the screen.)

After getting ready for the demo, the MTV guy came and asked bit about the project. He asked what business value is in my project. I mentioned that this is a prototype for 3D modeling and I mentioned that 3D modeling is done in Sri Lanka. But, I mentioned that this is a prototype to find a path to ease the workload. May be because he don't know 3D modeling, he talked to someone after going outside. After that, he clearly asked "Does this have a direct relationship with Business"? I mentioned no since there isn't.

GNU was trying to convey that Driver development is done in Sri Lankan IT industry. But, he refused that also. I still remember how GNU mentioned that "Prabhash, we couldn't convey that we have a business value." I mentioned there to GNU that "If we don't have a business value as they expect, there is no point of trying to do that". Anyway, we tried what we can. I can't say that I didn't try to mention that there is a business value, but I can't say that it has a higher business value since there is not. So, that was what happend. If you want any clarifications, please ask me.

After the telephone conversation between the recording person and some other person, I got to know that it is for putting it in the Business News. So, how can I say that my research is a business oriented one? I can't.

I don't know where it went wrong. But, anyway, it went wrong. As mentioned by Boyya, it's better to think about the future rather than the past.

If any of us could have given an introduction regarding the whole event, I think this issue may not have arose. But, what happened was happened.

I thought of not replying to these kinds of things. People are soooo selfish. I see that in most of you. There are great people like Boyya, Yvonne, Ravin ... But most of our batchmates are soooo selfish. They only think about themselves. What I want to say is that think about others. That's it.

Sorry if I humilliate/harras/blame anyone. I don't want to. Tell me if i do.

Prabhash

Guys,

Don't misunderstand that Boyya, Ravin, Yvonne are the only three who think about others. I've put "..."

[Harshan Weerathunga]

As  I said earlier. We thought getting a voice cut of our projects is a part of a whole coverage of the research symposium. 

Hey Nuwan, Shanka. Common guys we never thought that u would say such a thing, I personally didn't. Shanak didn't we ask you to give a voice cut. Nuwan didn't we ask you. And we asked prabhash also. I think that is enough. should i go to every CS student and say "Machan Sirasen awit project wala voice cut illanawa, Gihin maxxa ekak deepan".   

Now all of you guys think this is intentionally done, Except ravin & Boyya. And u say we didn't mention about CS project. Now tell me how many of you guys would mention about the ICT projects if they ask to give a voice cut about ur project. AND U KNOW WHAT he ask to make the voice cut as brief as possible. So If u give a voice cut how would u give. Think about ur selves first & then point the finger. 

I wanna tell you guys again. Since we are not the people who organize the media coverage.............(We thought it controlled by u  [CS] guys )....... We thought getting a voice cut of our projects is a part of a whole coverage of the research symposium. So we thought the only way we can help u guys is giving a voice cut of our projects to make your effort a successful one. 

So people can interpret this incident differently for their advantage. So look into this matter broadly, at least the people who have brains, likes of NUWAN, SHANAKA, PRABHSASH, RAVEEN, BOYYA, & few others.

Regards,

Harshan  |||  |||

[Ravin Perera]

Wht has happened to our people? Isn't the explanation given by people who gave voice cuts isn't enough? People who blame them, just put yourself in their position and think what YOU would do.

I have to admit, I really thought someone did this intentionally just after seeing the news because of the sadness it gave me. But now that I know what has happened, I can't see why people still think like that.

@ Prabhash, not related to the problem

No Prabhsh that's wrong, I can't remember whether I told you that
"Prabhash, we couldn't convey that we have a business value" or not.
perhaps initially I might have told you so. It takes time to figure out economic value. But I can remember I told HIM the correct.

GNU was trying to convey that Driver development is done in Sri Lankan IT industry. But, he refused that also.

Don't say that. HE DID NOT. How can he ?. The thing is he went out to take a call prior to ask my idea. After he came, when I say my Idea, he said too late. Isn't it what happened ?

I mentioned there to GNU that "If we don't have a business value as they expect, there is no point of trying to do that"

But what if some actually have ? You mean that I was trying to convince something that is NOT in my project ?. Nooo I didn't attempt to do so. What do you think ? Do you think that all 7 CS project doesn't have economic values ?.

I told media  person directly "My project has an economic value for Sri Lanka and I'm ready to give a demo". He did not reject it. But He said "times up" and he had informed something else to some one else. So then it was impossible to due to a his reason. That is what I mentioned by "Due to his problem". That's what I mean by saying "No CS guy got a chance" (because he was not ready to do it afterwords). I don't know Y, but he told so. He said "too late" after a one minute from Prabhash saying that his project has no economic value (or something similar to that).

This is just to correct prabhash's mail. I didn't point this matter against anyone. Problem is not here. Because presenting only two ICT projects are completely OK. We all knew that.

You used the word convince as I remember. Didn't u? Once that guy went to take the phone call, you said so. I don't say that you tried to convince something that is not in your project. Your project may have some business value. I don't know much about that.

Oh dear, "that" refers not to the previous sentence. Presenting your project.

Ya... he can't refuse that onee. It's a true thing. But he didn't want to get the project presentation.

I don't know whether ther is an economic value or not. But, he wanted to put it into business news. Our research is not like that. I didn't talk about ur one. I just talked about my one. And I have misused the term "we". We normally speak in terms of "us" rather than "my". That's the way we speak. Sorry. Actually, my one didn't have such value. I mentioned that if it is not really having such a thing, it's useless even they mention our projects in business news. That's what i tried to say. 

 

I told media  person directly "My project has an economic value for Sri Lanka and I'm ready to give a demo". He did not reject it.

I didn't know that. May be he wanted to reject our request.

 

This is just to correct prabhash's mail.

Thanks buddy. I hope u won't get any misunderstanding from this reply. I may be wrong. This is how i perceived the incident. I didn't think that my one is good for business news. And I didn't know for sure that the only thing they are gonna show is the two ICT projects.

Hi All,

Sorry to interrupt =) But the MTV guy asked us to mention the uni and the degree program. And we did, coz our degree is not known by most ppl =D

Mettha,

[Kasun Sanjeewa Perera]

Dear All,

At this last moment, why we all try to make bad things in our batch. Where is our so called batchfit. That thing had happened and we can not correct it. Our responsibility is not let to happen these things in the coming year. Also we need to keep our batch together.

I also did a RS2009 introduction session on SLBC at our live radio program with Wathugala sir. Some of u may not aware of this. In that we had clearly state that who we are and what we do. In that we introduce both Degrees and also mentioned that this time is the first batch on ICT people present there projects on RS2009. Also we mentioned two projects that feel by ordinary people, that were Vidusuwa and Gira's Elephant Listening project.

I think that is enough we discuss this matter on group mail. Forget about the bad things happened and remember the good things. We did a great Research Symposium at UCSC and it add colors to UCSC name.

Thank you,

I don't have any problom with voice cuts or any probloms with the voice cuts being only 2 ICT ppl (i know dat i got a chance to put a voicecut and it was my decission not to put it)... i m not dat naive. da problom AS i have mensioned earlier is teh way the RS2009 name being changed to something else !!!

[Nuwan]

I have no personal issues with any of the ICT people but I told what I feel. Cameramen is a visitor, he would ask information from the person who is guiding him. If I had the opportunity to be the guide. I would say either, I can't I'm busy or I'll give him an unbiased introduction of the invent clearly and then I clearly tell others what I told him.

I had a reasonable suspect on why things happened in that way while DIVIYA was guiding him. If it is not his(DIVIYA) responsibility, he had the opportunity redirect him to some responsible person.

However it is not good going further with this matter. Effect of this incident is not much severe in outside world. There is no "kunu" in our minds as you guys have mentioned. And I'm not saying 100% its your fault. But DIVIYA had the control over it.

Well it could have happened in the way you mensioned as well. But there is a possibility to happen it in other way as well. There is no way left to find the truth.

Don't angry with me or with Shanaka. And don't be dissapointed if there is no fault in your side.

hi,

@ shanka & Nuwan (GNU): Machan i was there when diviya wrote everything in a piece of paper and hand it over to the Cameraman. He clearly wrote 

Research symposium 2009

University of colombo school of computing,

then the list of Projects selected to present @ the symposium. 

 9 of them

And he didn't mention anything like this is ICT and this is CS

Y on earth u guys can not admit that this is a mistake done by Sirasa?. I can understand how u guys feel, after doing all the hard work. I know the incident hit u guys so badly, but for that  shanka and Nuwan would not engage this way.  Anyway machan it was not intensional that all i have to say.

Hi,

After telling all this stuff, i think only ravin could able to understand the truth. Diviya is not guilty because he mentioned everything on the paper.

@ Shanaka and nuvan : I knw that you guys dnt have any sort of misunderstanding about me or lampa. You should have to knw the truth, cause lampa was there when diviya wrote that paper for the camera man. So i also got the same thing to say;

"Y on earth u guys can not admit that this is a mistake done by Sirasa?. I can understand how u guys feel, after doing all the hard work.

"bava mchn, 

if you do a TV interview first thing u have to do is you should have to tel about you and you background. dats wht yvone had said 

"Sorry to interrupt =) But the MTV guy asked us to mention the uni and the degree program. And we did, coz our degree is not known by most ppl =D"

and at the TV show they had remove wht i say about my background, because they don't want to repeat the same thing. After all these recordings that guy ask diviya to give him all details about this program and the projects dat were presented. As lampa said diviya had given below details. 

"Research symposium 2009

University of colombo school of computing,

then the list of Projects selected to present @ the symposium. 

(7 CS and 2 ICT Projects)" 

So wht's the problem nw? Cn't u understand that mistake was happn by the Sirasa TV guys.
