Nigeria

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

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 goal of this group is to foster the local community, provide local support and to allow the local Drupal industry to grow.

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.

Snail speed membership growth

Hello everyone, the membership of Drupal Nigeria Group is growing, no doubt, but its growth is likened to the movement of a snail, shot with a slow motion camera! What can we do to change this. From what i see, Drupal has become a movement in the Web Technology Business in the Western World. A lot of us in Naija, have become voodoo app developers, just because drupal is getting better and better by the day. But the more, the merrier. Its about time we started evangelising drupal with some more seriousness and vigure. Lets start hosting small meet ups, and free trainings for newbees.

My thoughts on Drupal, Drupal Nigeria Group, Adoption rate and Giving back

Hello all,

i have missed two of the drupal camp events held in lagos now, and i wish it were not so.
First of all , kudos to group organizers that try to do their part to scratch this itch.

First , Let me introduce myself

I am charles Ihekwoaba by name and i build websites using drupal. i am partial or biased in this regard, and the reasons are beyond the scope of this discussion. I have been pleased with the outcome of my efforts (in learning drupal) and i think the same may be said for all of us here in this group.

Drupal Nigeria Community Meetup in Lagos 2013 (2014)

So the year is almost over and we still did not end up pulling off another Drupal Camp in Nigeria.

Can we do a small Drupal Community meet up in Lagos before the end of 2013 ?

No big deal, meet up at a fast food / restaurant on the island, no budget, every one goes dutch, drinks on the house , we will talk drupal , technology and anything else ...

If we have up to 5 people replying "interested" , we will set up a time and date .

If not, well , we will start planning Drupal Camp 2014 ...

Top .ng Drupal Websites

Hey guys,

I used to run this for South Africa (where I'm from) and recently expanded the script to include other countries.

http://top-websites.burtronix.co.za/drupal/nigeria/2013-08-15

That's a list of the most accessed .ng Drupal websites in Nigeria by people from Nigeria, ranked. It's a weekend project labour of love, so don't be too hard on it ;-)

It uses top sites data I purchase from Amazon/Alexa, strips out all non-.ng domains, then runs Wappalizer (github-hosted JSON analysis logic) against the top sites to determine which runs Drupal.

Kind regards,
Riaan

localization to Yoruba

Have you used Drupal's Localization features to translate a site from English to Yoruba, or one of the other Nigerian languages?

I am setting up a site for a Nigerian friend here in the UK. I've only got as far as reading this.

DrupalCamp Lagos 2013 - Let the planning begin

Hello everyone,

I think it is time we start planning for DrupalCamp Lagos 2013.

Kudos to @chillpill, @badesemowo, @imasuen and everyone that made DrupalCamp Lagos 2011 a great success. We should start planning early for the event this year. All suggestions and ideas would be great.

Let's start by picking a date. Sometimes in the middle of the year would be ok. I am not part of the organisers. This is just an humble opinion.

Thank you!

    Daily Times Nigeria re-launches website in OP2 (D6)

    While there has been a lot of discussion about OP in D6 & D7, I believe you can still do a lot with OP2 (D6).

    When faced with the task of redesigning the DailyTimesNG website, the "no upgrade path from OP2 to OP3" reluctantly and grudgingly made us decide to stick to OP2 (D6).

    Four weeks of theming & tweaking & here is the result. Depending on when you visit this post the new DailyTimesNG version 2.0 website will either reside at http://sandbox.dailytimes.com.ng (beta, being developed & tested) or http://dailytimes.com.ng.
