Drupal Developer Groups Malaysia

Malaysia Boleh !!

Yes, there are many other open source CMS softwares out there. Why should we choose Drupal?
Hey ... "tak kenal, maka tak cinta"! Many people have been using Joomla/Mamboo because of their appealing ease of use, installation and the UI but lacking some features. After further investigation, testing various CMS including reading the IBM reviews about Drupal, Master thesis, reviews on the nets, big websites that have been using Drupal ... my Drupal in Malaysia development's journey begins.

Let's put our hands together & make it happen guys.

We've planned a two-day Drupal Track as well, and we still need more local Drupal users and developers to come and talk about their favorite subjects. Right now, a few placeholder sessions are planned, but nothing is final yet - it is an unconference after all.

It's really tough when eveybody is trying to do thing on their own. .. let's at least get together. if I get a good response here, maybe I would consider for another meet up soon.

Sydney Convention and Exhibition Center Darling Harbor
I am pleased to announce that the next large gathering of Drupalers will be held in Sydney, Australia from May 18th - 22nd 2008 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Center Darling Harbor in conjunction with the Open CeBIT expo and conference. We're inviting people from all over the region - and that means you!

The Drupal Asia Pacific Conference is a major event to gather Drupalers to learn, discuss and advance Drupal. It is also a great opportunity to network with other community members that operate in the Asia Pacific region and who may not be able to attend community events on the other side of the world.

The conference will feature dual tracks over 3 days and a single theatre over a day and half that will also be open to the broader Open CeBIT audience. We are partnering with the Joomla community to host a website building contest which will be prominently highlighted at the OpenCeBIT Conference. All attendees will be provided free entry to the CeBIT expo (20th - 22nd) and offered discounted tickets to the Open CeBIT conference. We will also be hosting a booth as part of the CeBIT Exhibition to educate and promote Drupal to businesses, government, and individual attendees of the exhibition.

Establishment of Drupal Malaysia Association

najibx - Mon, 2008-01-21 07:05

As one of the initiative to spur the Drupal knowledge sharing and promotion in Malaysia, it was proposed that we have an association that specifically cater for Drupal CMS. This issue was discusses in our gathering recently http://groups.drupal.org/node/7708.

It has been difficult for Drupal to grow and accepted in Malaysia for the past years.

The following comments were raised :

  1. Why do we need an association, just on online community is enough.
  2. There are other associations, such as Malaysia Open Source, why not work under them.
  3. Association shall not be money driven.

Hello Guys,

I am using multisite configuration. All my domains are on Hostgator cPanel's parked domain.
Each domain is defined in "sites" folder.

My problem - how to create non-Drupal pages within Drupal installation? Let say I wanted to manually create a separate sales page or download page under the same domain without using Drupal's "create content".

Yes, have tried Drupal forum but failed to find related post. Let me try to illustrate it below.

main site/domain: www.mainsite.com
parked domain: www.example.com

sales page: www.example.com/sales.php

We know there's list of great website in the world that use Drupal. However, it would be cool to know what's the situation is like here in Malaysia. Which websites uses open CMS. If yes, which one.

  • Private companies
  • Government/agencies
  • Political bodies
  • Entertainment Radio/TV
  • Entertainment newspaper/magazine
  • Universities/education
  • etc.

From here maybe we can see where's our strength .... or where's our direction. Do Malaysian companies/organizations stay away from open source and rather pay thousands of ringgit? Hmm ...

let's create a list.
