Hello fellow Drupalers, welcome to the Drupal Jamaica group, we might be currently small but that doesn't mean we cant have an effect on web development in Jamaica or even contributions to the Drupal community. I would like to know who here is an active Drupal developer and would like to discuss the way forward for this group.

One love!

Today I start joining the Drupal Community and like to send Greetings to you over the Ocean.

We are building a Dupal-Site for our Online-Community - that is willing and able to act worldwide - http://www.it.community.net.
Cause our Community had to start all over again - we do not have any translation in other languages so far, but will start at once, if there will be the first willing to register person, that doesn`t speak German. Few years ago our former site (php-nuke) was already multilingual and contained up to 2007 a lot of online-courses - joinable over a virtuell classroom - Live-Online - speaking, listening - Whiteboard, application sharing ...
We are working on, getting that advertisement running again as soon as possible.

As a long time member of the german-jamaican-society (DJG-Deutsch-Jamaikanische-Gesellschaft) - I've jut startet to bring that Homepage into a CMS - but sorry, I choose TYPO3 - cause at the time, me first made the offer - the "DJG" took at least 2 years to decide ;-) - TYPO3 was my Choice with no doubt and still I know the society will be glad, when they switch to the result in a short while - Soon Come -

I do not see any problem to connect TYPO3 and Drupal work and Community - or should I ?

I will be glad recieving your friendly response
and if your interested to keep contact -

So long

Introduction

trevorforrest's picture

Hello all.....I am CEO for a web development company in Jamaica....My primary CMS is Drupal. I have developed many sites with the CMS and I am currently driving an effort to migrate all government sites to this CMS.
Currently the following sites have been migrated to Drupal
www.cito.gov.jm (Drupal 5)
www.opm.gov.jm (Drupal 5)
www.cabinet.gov.jm (Drupal 5)
www.moj.gov.jm (Legacy Drupal 4)

I also sit on the Board of Directors of the Central Information Technology Office (CITO) and one of our goals is to, where possible, inject as much open source software into government. We see this as a viable option for the GoJ.

I would like to get a handle on the cadre of Drupal developers in Jamaica as i think there are some tremendous opportunities for the extended use of this CMS in both the publice and private sector.
