Taking an example of the tzNOG, as tzNOG is a tzNIC project with it 
focus/goal in providing training and networking where people come together 
learn and share ideas.

individual/groups with innovative idea to ensure that they achieve their 
goals/objectives. For instance the guy who invent fritym.com

center) which will be used for:-
