Hari ini aku dapat email yang menurutku lumayan istimewa – maksudku, perlu mendapat apresiasi tersendiri – karena datangnya dari Head of Informastion Systems Development and Service of the University of Indonesia, Riri Fitri Sari. Isinya, memang hanya sekedar pemberitahuan bahwa sejak Agustus 2008 website Universitas Indonesia kembali ke domain lokal (dot id), dari semula www.ui.edu menjadi www.ui.ac.id. Dan kalau tidak salah, dulunya Universitas Indonesia memang pernah memakai domain ac.id sebelum beralih ke ui.edu.
Istimewanya dimana? Ya itu tadi, upaya dari institusi UI untuk memberitahu perubahan web domain ke semua web dan blog yang memuat link-nya. Bisa dibayangkan, di seluruh dunia ini, ada berapa web dan blog yang memuatnya. Dan itu, nampaknya satu demi satu di kirimi email yang sama. Buktinya, blog-ku yang belum ada apa-apanya saja – dan memang kebetulan ada beberapa tulisan yang nge-link ke web UI – tetap diperlakukan sama (mendapat email).
Artinya, sudah tidak diragukan lagi institusi perguruan tinggi ternama seperti UI, memperlakukan teknologi informasi sebagai bagian dari relationship, demi terjaganya hubungan baik terhadap siapapun yang respect ke lembaganya. Inilah alasan yang membuat aku langsung menuliskannya di blog ini.
Berikut petikan email yang aku terima itu:
To: Websites administrator.
