What is Indian / Asian Drupal Community looking for in Drupal Camp?

Look for a someone with Drupal experience to help on website projects for Australian businesses, currently have a couple website that need doing and several more on the way.

Willing to pay good full time Thai wage for 2-3 months for someone that can visit the office; 4 half day per week and work on the projects from home in a telecommute situation the rest of the time.

I'm keen to get someone with CSS/Theming skills and a wider knowledge of Drupal.

Let me know if you are interested! paul@krapow.com

Make it a Great Day,

For those people that already know what Drupal is and what a Barcamp is, you know what you need to do: Register for DrupalCamp now.

We will hold the first-ever DrupalCamp in Thailand on Saturday May 24th, 10:00 to 18:00, at the conference facilities of Inet, on the 13th floor of the Thai Summit Tower, Petchaburi Road, just east of the Ratchadaphisek / Asoke intersection.

We have a Drupal training in Hong Kong in May 13-15 2008, as part of our Open Application Fabrication effort (www.openappfab.net)
Please see attached brochure and registration form or download from http://www5.uniforce.net/corp/drupal-training-v1.pdf

It's a living training, meaning that course fee includes one year hosting of Drupal portal that you create in the class.

This is the first class of our Open Training Series, and hope to enrich the community every month with new topic should there be enough audience to attend.

The venue is at Hong Kong Science Park.

Welcome:-)

*UPDATE* - This event's details have changed and has been postponed a new date. Please visit http://drupalapc.org for more details

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 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.

I'm Jordan, one half of GoCubeCo. I'm a programmer by trade and have been working with open source products my entire career. The other half of GoCube is Myles ... he's a graphic designer. We work as a freelance team fielding projects from clients around the world. We're currently seeking talented programmers to assist us with our projects. We've got two Drupal websites contracts on the go right now and have at least another 2 in the queue after these are completed. Steady work for the next couple months. We're looking to build a long term relationship with a talented programmer.

OK, we have committed to having the first ever Barcamp in Thailand on January 26th: Barcamp Bangkok!

We expect to have a location finalized by Dec. 15th, but we promise it will be IN Bangkok and easy to get to.

We have set up a website at http://www.barcampbangkok.org/ and will soon be posting more information about the camp on the site.

If you want to help organize, please contact us via organizers(at)barcampbangkok.org

So my school is planning a complete web site overall, and we are planning on introducing a CMS for the first time. I'm trying to convince them to use Drupal, but it's an uphill battle. Some of the people on the web site redesign team have heard of Joomla and Mambo and how easy it is to find a relatively inexpensive developer here in Thailand.

Well what would it take to organize a Drupal camp here in Thailand?

Certainly Thailand is cheap enough that anyone who comes can easily afford accommodation, I think the hardest part would be finding the location to hold the event.

I propose that we Drupal users in Thailand do some research on the feasibility of a Drupal-camp here in Thailand.

Drupal User Group in Thailand is setting up Drupal Thailand Community at http://drupal.in.th/. All you are welcome to join us. The great news is that Noel Noneck will visit us on Sep 30, 2007. Please see the schedule for more details.

Sugree Phatanapherom has initiated an effort to localize Drupal for the Thai language. The project is hosted on the Drupal website at: http://drupal.org/project/th.

Surgee's HowForge is a demonstration of a Drupal site that has been localized for Thai language; it has articles in both Thai and English.

More about Surgee's localization efforts can be found at: http://www.howforge.com/product/drupal-thai.

Anybody other Drupallers out there in Bangkok? Let's meet up and talk Drupal development over a beer. Even if it's only two people, we have Drupal--and beer! Drop me an email and let's arrange a time to meet.
