This is the first part of many more to follow. I will tell you a story about a group of people that were used and abused by the almighty University of Nicosia & Intercollege and then thrown in the street.
Our team was a bunch of people that devoted their lives to the EKT02/06 Project. Intercollege won 5 out of 13 subjects of the Ministry of Education EKT02/06 Project. Our task was to create digital education content.
It all began in August 2007, when a bunch of people gathered to prepare the samples that won the 5 subjects. I was one of them. I was also picked afterwards to take part in the team that was going to develop those 5 subjects.
The team was lead by a remarkable woman, which for the sake of this story I will call "Hera". A senior developer, which I will call "Hephaestus ", a young developer, which I will call "Apollo " and myself, a do-it-all man called "Dionysus ". All Greek mythology God names that have lots and lots of meaning.
Residing atop of Mount Olympus (University of Nicosia) was "Zeus" the almighty. His role in this story was not significant in the years to follow but only at the end, as Zeus role was to have the last word.
Somewhere in between Mount Olympus and our team was "Hades" the Ruler of the Underworld (Intercollege), a double faced, jealous creature that could not accept that our team was actually doing a good job.
Scattered around were other creatures that did not yet decide what their role is. "Hermes" was the most evil, jealous, little man which as the name suggests, he started as a messenger but finished as a director of whatever, as long as the word "director" appeared somewhere in his title.
So that's all for the introductions...
