Strengthening open source in Nigeria

[9/9/2010 2:08:12 PM] Abayomi Ayoola: and they would be glad to sponsor LinuxCon or LinuxFest in Nigeria
[9/9/2010 2:08:25 PM] Kayode Odeyemi: cool
[9/9/2010 2:08:45 PM] Kayode Odeyemi: so what's your plan
[9/9/2010 2:31:56 PM] Abayomi Ayoola: I think they usually cover the whole event

Archive your Drupalcamp Site onto drupal.org for long term preservation
Hey folks,
I just finished archiving our camp site on drupal.org's infrastructure. You can see the static copy at http://colorado2010.camps.drupal.org/
There was some discussion about the domain structure, but the idea is that it should be formatted
{place}{year or index number}.camps.drupal.org
We have redirected our old site from http://drupalcampcolorado.org/ to the new domain. Then next spring we'll bring the external site back to life and start the cycle all over again.

Read moreGroup organization, streamlining, jQuery 1.8/1.9, JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery Eye Candy, etc.
Hi,
actually I don't know the differences between AJAX, JavaScript and jQuery. But before answering here, maybe a wiki page is missing and could be mentioned in the group description?
In many groups such info lacks in the description. Yes I'm familiar with groups, but from Yahoo and the Dutch http://Clubs.nl (they WERE the first & the best, Yahoo bought the software and made a cut down version for its groups). So I'm not that happy with the features and design of Drupal groups, but that's another issue...
