Special Thank you for Johan Rautio, design the Hong Kong Drupal User Group logo.
Do you want an official HKDUG website?
I want to start a new thread because the HKDUG logo thread was getting convoluted with discussions about the official presence of this group other than the one we're in right now.
Firstly I want to disclaim myself. I have no authority within this group. I am just a Drupal user and a member of the group - like you. All I want is to help grow this community. So everything I say is of my own opinion and anything I say could be put to vote or outrightly rejected if there are better ideas.

Druapl 7 Release Party and the Hong Kong Drupal User Group
Thank you for everyone attending our Drupal 7 Release Party by Hong Kong Drupal User Group at 2011-01-07. We had around 40 attendants, which was almost 3 times of our normal HKDUG meetup! More photos can be found in here and Flickr!
The party was started with a Drupal 7 slideshow and video by Dave Hansen-Lange, and Edison Wong gave a brief review of Drupal 7 Installation (ppt, pdf), Drupal 7 core improvement quick review (ppt, pdf) and Drupal 7 3rd party modules upgrade status (ppt, pdf). We also had an active Q&A section and shared for some key question about upgrade from Drupal 6 to 7, too.
Moreover, within the Drupal 7 3rd party modules upgrade status section, Edison Wong compare both Drupal 6 and 7 functionality with a custom installation profile, which start develop since BarCamp HK 2010. This installation profile is now available for public download. Please feel free to download and comment with your idea :-)
Finally, we are scheduling for next HKDUG meetup on February 24. Hope to meet you soon!
P.S. Oooh! An additional meetup for HKDUG newcomers on January 28! Don't miss this chance and let's meet with other Hong Kong Drupal fans :-)

Selection rules Panels 3.x
I have a problem with Panels 3.x
I have built a variant of a panel page, and want the variant to be used when a certain content type is used.
Normally this would be done using selection rules node:type
However I don't have the "node" option in the list now, I just have :
Context exists
PHP code
User: language
User: permission
User: Role
Any ideas as how I get the node option to appear in the selection rules list?
Any help is most welcome.
