Nigeria
This group is a Not-for-Profit IT support group that would enable free flow of support and exchange of ideas in the Nigerian Open Source community. This we hope will help those of us that have benefited so much from the community to give back to the community that has helped our work so much. Events shall be organised from time to time by the group.
The three core roles of Drupal Nigeria User Group will be
• Education
• Support
• Socializing
This group is restricted to Nigerians or Drupal users (or interested users) in Nigeria.

Events 2011
Hello Drupeeps!!!
If we intend to have an amazing events this year, I think its about time we started planning. The events for this year as planned by the Open Source Foundation, Nigeria would include Drupal Camp and LinuxFest. I'm presently in talks with the Vice Chancellor of the Osun State University about the same events on their campus otherwise if you have a different opinion we can work with. I think we should have the events in about two to three locations around Nigeria this year.
Let's get to work
Your opinions are welcome
OSN Webpage

I found a perfect sample of what the front page for OSN should look like.
Have a look and let's know what you think. We would need to a graphic artiste to do the design.
Drupal7 release party in the air
Drupal7 final release is just around the corner. I believe most of you guys are aware. So, with the aim of continuing the culture, various communities around the world are organizing release parties.
Check out:
* http://www.drupal7releaseparty.org/
* http://groups.drupal.org/node/113244
Any suggestions as to where we can have this? Can we do this at any of the eatries? Just gist about D7 updates actually - I haven't dig in myself.
Just to let us all know that, this is a very unofficial meetup. No projectors, no teachings. Just D7 talks.
Your suggestions are welcomed.
ScoopAfrica.com
ScoopAfrica.com is a new website I developed with Drupal. It is a business networking website for professionals and small-business owners across Africa. Individuals can create comprehensive professional profiles that would help in locating the right employer and their desired jobs, while companies can create complete company profiles that serves as a cost-effective advertising tool.
The original idea was from my partner, which we both run Scoop Internet Services in Lagos. He handles the marketing while I do the development.
Drupal 7 Release Parties
We all know Drupal 7 will be released shortly.
