Hi Ahmed

the first step would be to organize a Drupal User Group meeting in a big city like Damascus, Aleppo or Homs. That will start to give you an idea of the Drupal community in Syria.

You could create a poll in this group to see how many people would be interested in a meeting, how many in training, etc.

One suggestion: it's often a good idea to just take the lead and organize a meeting instead of waiting around until someone else does something. Go for it, blog about it and report afterwards!

Good luck
Joeri

Hi Guys,

Hi Ahmed, Hi symbi,

I'm very happy to hear about people interested in creating a Drupal Event in Syria. In fact I've been a while thinking into this direction. Let's start immediately as Symbi mentioned even with a small meeting with a cup of coffee and I think this will be a good starting point.

Best Regards
Raffi


Not in Syria right now

Hi Raffi

I'm in France at the moment, organizing DrupalCon Paris, so I won't be back in Syria for a while. However, I can give you all the help you need in getting a local meeting or 1-day event up and running.

Let me know what I can do.
Joeri.

I think the first step should be a small meeting between local Drupallers maybe 3-10 people to put a plan.
- How to reach local people interested in Drupal.
- How to arrange our first open meeting.
- What should be the aganda of the meeting.
- and maybe who will be the sponsor.

Thanks guys for your interest.

I will do my best to find a suitable place and time for this meeting.

If you have any ideas I would be glad if you share them with us.

Thanks Luai Agha, Thanks Symbi and thanks Ahmed


thank you
