최근에 osxdev 에서 한건의 세미나와 한건의 스터디가 있었다. 이 세미나와 스터디의 특징은 역시나 수용님이 촬영해주시는 동영상!! 이 백미가 아닐까. 이건 애플 WWDC 와는 다르게 인코딩 되는대로 ㅠㅠ 공유를 해주시니 참석하지 못한 분들도 현장의 분위기와 세미나 내용에 대해서 공유 받을 수 있다.

• iPhone App Dev Study  (벌써 2차모임 까지 진행되었다)
• OSXDev Seminar (11월 공개 세미나)

하나

먼저 아이폰 개발 스터디! 이제 첫발을 떼었다고 볼 수 있는 스터디인데 아직 출간이 되지 않은 베타 상태의 책 (iphone sdk development) 를 가지고 진행하는 것이 이색적이다. 아직 그만큼 나와있는 괜찮은 책이 전무하단 얘기라고도 볼 수 있겠다. 첫 번째 모임이라 가볍게 시작될 줄 알았다면 오산인 듯.. 첫 모임부터 7시부터 10시30분을 찍는 세미나가 연속적으로 진행되었다. 식사는 빵으로 대충 해치우고 열정을 가지고 참여하는 모습들이 반갑게 느껴졌던 모임이었다는 생각이 든다. 세미나 내용이나 스터디일정 에 공개가 되어있다. 이미 참여를 하지 못한 분들은 위에서 말했듯이 아쉬워 할 필요가 없는 것이 1차 세미나사진 이나 동영상 및 세미나 자료까지 공개가 되니 역시나 참여하는 분들에게 고마울 따름이다.

참고 (아이폰 스터디 일정)

둘

OSXDev 세미나는 대략 한달에 한번씩 정기적으로 지원하는 분들이 세미나를 주도적으로 진행해 나가는 것이 특징이다. 11/12일 수요일에는 Jenix 군이 두번째 세미나를 진행해 주었는데 아직 자료등이 올라온 상태는 아니므로 해당 위키페이지를 주시하고 있어야 할 듯.

어쨌든 참여한 사람들역시 반가운 얼굴들이 많았는데, 이번에는 일본에서 참석한 분! 도 있었다는 사실! 일본에 있는 아이폰 애플리케이션 개발 회사(Mobilis Solutions, Inc) 에 다니고 있는 분이었는데 사장님이 한국분이지만 직원들은 다국적인 특이한 회사인것 같았다. 요기도 관심을 가지고 지켜봐야 할 것 같다.

마지막

여하튼 최근에 일련의 일들이 나의 흥미를 끌게끔 해주는 일들이 조금씩 다시 생기는 것 같다. 개인적으로 열심히 "무술" 도 하고 있고 (이건 사범이 목표다 ㅡㅡ;;), 다시 애플쪽 개발에 손가락 하나쯤은 담그게 된 것 같고, 여름에 WWDC 에서 시작된 좋은 인연들을 계속 이어가는 것 같아서 그나마 다행이라는 생각이 든다. 앞으로가 더 기대되는 요즘이다.

Is South Korea shirking its responsibilities to refugees?

It is the responsibility of countries to offer safe and humane treatment to asylum seekers driven out by conflict in their countries of origin.
Countries such as South Africa, the United States, Kenya and France recognized from 30,700 to 205,000 refugees in 2006 alone.

But Korea has accepted only a total of 76 refugees - ever.

Where are the refugees? Korea is a peninsula surrounded mainly by oceans, with one border shared with North Korea, where military tension with the South is still a threat. Therefore, diasporas through borders of neighboring countries have not been a common phenomenon on the Korean Peninsula; only people who can enter Korea by plane or ship are able to seek asylum. Nevertheless, there are thousands who do make it here successfully, only to be defeated by the system.

Even after the asylum seekers manage to enter Korea, they are faced with more obstacles once they enter the country.

The time and efforts required of the asylum seekers to be recognized as refugees by the Korean government are extreme. According to a survey conducted in 2004 by Korean NGOs, 73.1 percent of the interviewers - recognized refugees and applicants for refugee status - waited more than one year to be admitted as refugees, and 17.9 percent of them are still waiting for the decision after four to five years.

The time the Korean system requires for the refugee-recognition process can have detrimental effects on certain categories of people. When the National Human Rights Commission visited an immigration detention center to conduct a survey regarding the treatment of detainees in 2007, I met a young man from Ghana.

He had applied for refugee status in 2006 after being detained. Because being a refugee applicant was not a sufficient reason to be released from the immigration detention center - when one had applied for it after being detained - he was awaiting the decision under detention.

When I went to the same detention center to investigate a separate case in the spring of 2008, he was still there struggling to be granted refugee status. After two years in jail, he was finally accepted as a refugee and released from the detention center this June.

When an asylum seeker finally is accepted as a refugee by the government, his or her struggle is not even half over. The labors of daily life and integration have only begun. The major difficulties for refugees are a lack of access to settlement information, welfare protection and social understanding, among others.

The situation is even worse for people who are still struggling in the refugee-recognition process, or people under humanitarian status, who failed to be admitted as refugees but who are granted temporary stay because of the hostile situation in their home countries. I had a chance to learn about a family from Cote d`Ivoire with refugee status who had children of elementary school age. However, the parents were unable to send the children to school because the school told them that it was not ready for their children.

Presumably, society in general is not ready to embrace refugees and some or all categories of migrants. Here are some suggestions to address this issue:

To protect the human rights of asylum seekers, including refugees, and to enhance their integration into society, the government has to set up carefully structured systems and programs for newcomers.

Public education has to be redesigned to help not only the refugees but all migrants. The social security system, especially health care, should be extended to asylum seekers and people with humanitarian status.

The public should be educated about the situation of asylum seekers. A campaign to integrate people from other countries or different ethnic backgrounds into our society should be undertaken.

Most importantly, our concept that dealing with refugees is an option must be jettisoned. Protecting refugees and asylum seekers is not an option. It should not be considered charity.

Humane treatment of refugees is the responsibility of every country.
