Rescheduling of Event

asif.iqbal's picture

Dear Iqbal

Thanks for your suggestion, we initially planned for weekend too but as you know many of the developers travel back to their hometowns on weekend. Therefore, after consultation with many, we scheduled on weekdays.

But we will consider weekend for next meetup and can cover full day i.e. 5-8 hours.

Thank you

Reviving Culture

AhmadUmair's picture

Hi everyone,

In Pakistan, the ikonami is undoubtedly the pioneer of Drupal activities. We, Me and Khoomi (A true Drupal evangelist) were who organized first proper Drupal Meetup back in 2012 in Islamabad, and then Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi drupalcamps under captaincy of Kubair Sb, first ever drupalcamp Dubai by Kubair Sb and Khoomy. Arsalan hosted the Karachi camp, Ahmad Nawaz and Shakir were our major helping hands in drupalcamp sites. It's great to hear, that ikonami has again revived that culture and I would like to be part of this team as ever.

Thanks to Kubair Sb and ikonami Team.

Hi guys, I am getting an

Qandeel's picture

Hi guys,

I am getting an impression that there is some kind of competition going between Ikonami and Drupak and Figover over Drupal camps and meetups. Definitely there is a business gain when one is organizing such events; for rest of the audience please visit Drupal Association website to know the details about such events.

So guys Whoever it is.. if IKonami is organizing an event they should bring Drupak and Figover teams and mutually organize such event.. as we all should remember these event are after-all community events.

And same suggestion goes to Drupak and Figover teams.

Jazakallah.

More DRUPAL than a MEMORIAL meetup

TanvirAhmad's picture

Though I appreciate everyone involved arranging camps and meet ups before as pioneers as Ikonami (I belong to that), still I guess it should be more DRUPAL than a MEMORIAL meetup.

t@n

Dear All, Lets not buy this

Qandeel's picture

Dear All,

Lets not buy this "Pioneer" word here; Let me put records straight here. It was Pakistan Software Export Board's Project Open Source Resource Center - OSRC whose team introduced these Open Source alternatives to general public at large in early 2004. Among lots of these were Drupal, Joomla and Java based CMSs.

I really appreciate what Ikonami, Drupak and others have put efforts to continue building Drupal Community in particular and opensource community in general.

Lets continue this without screaming :) the word "Pioneer" lets produce some value to these open source products from This part of the world (Pakistan).

I hope my message will be taken on positive notes.

Hello Qandeel Good to see

Hello Qandeel

Good to see your regular comments since the announcement of this event. Confirm me if you are joining us, I have not received your signup.

Thanks

COMMENDABLE

Very good and appreciable.

Thanks to Ikonami. You are doing great.

Thanks for appreciating the initiative

If possible for you and available in Islamabad, please join us on the Event. It would be a pleasure to have you and will learn from you.

Promoting Drupal

saqibjalil's picture

Ikonami main purpose is to promote Drupal in Pakistan so please take this as like. Abstain from fighting over the forum. If you have any concerns please email us. Ikonami has held camps before from PSEB platform too. Will try to plan future events under PSEB umbrella for prosperous Drupal Community in Pakistan. Cheers

Everyone is appreciated

AhmadUmair's picture

Hello All,

I don't think that we ever made drupal our propriety in Pakistan. Everyone has his own ground to play and we always appreciated and welcomed everyone to play their role. Neither I or ikonami selling their lectures of drupal. So please stop conveying such things in this thread.

Thanks

Thats what I was talking

Qandeel's picture

Thats what I was talking about, "Positive Notes"; this is not a fight; we should give credit to the people who traveled all over Pakistan to promote opensource and Drupal alike softwares. OpenSource is mostly about giving credits :)

I am also for not fighting on forum and my intentions are absolutely to stay calm. I will also appreciate not to propagate negative impression.. I am 100% positive.

I am not part of the PSEB and I am not marketing PSEB here; I am just saying that "Pioneer" is a big word and one should use it with full authority. Still if you guys think Ikonami is Pioneer then I am still happy. this cannot change the records.

Jazakallah o khair

Stay calm and colloaborate with each other

khanshakeeb's picture

Guys,

First of all I never knew that me and my friend created this group will become Pakistan group which is currently representing Drupal Community here.

So probably I was the first who took that initiative in did First Drupal Camp ever in Karachi.

But I am happy for Figover, Ikonami and Drupak after an year they have started this activity and now they are trying their best.

So head off to all here and be the community entire planet and one day I am hopping in Pakistan we will have officially Drupal Conference host.

Thanks

Wow. Good to know and

asif.iqbal's picture

Wow. Good to know and appreciate your efforts. With passage of time, your small group has grown tremendously and became one of the major contributor from Pakistan.

Yes, everyone is contributing in its capacity. And will join hands for Conference soon. We will definitely engage you and will learn from you.

Appreciate your contribution for Druapl

it's all about Pakistan Drupal community

shahidbscs's picture

I believe it's all about Pakistan Drupal community. Doesn't matter who are managing.
About the word "Pioneer", I think it is only the excitement of ikonami (X-Ninjas) like many others and me too :)

Of course it remind all of us all our pleasure moments, activities etc we were performed in-house to promote Drupal in Pakistan.

Like me, this time I will miss this, so I just share my feelings when I was with ikonami :)

Promoting Drupal - But actually you promoting ------:)

web2get's picture

If you use words like Pioneer, ikonami, Figover, Drupak then no one senior drupal developer will come. So please move on and share all session details and presenter names.

Because

We know Drupal
We love Drupal
We want to learn Drupal
We want to help Drupal developers

Nothing else

Thanks

Any Meetup goal is to share
