Hi Everyone,

I know I have not been around much lately (Japanese Group). We are crazy busy at the moment.

We are about to put out a Japanese Ubercart and things turned out very well. I am more excited and pleased with Ubercart than when I first started. I really am amazed at how well they did things out of the box being that it is only version 2, it is a great module, and calling it a module seems almost too little as it is amazing.

We are excited to announce the DrupalCon Asia-Pacific Organisers group. DCAPO intends to lay foundations that will facilitate international Drupal Conferences (DrupalCons) in the Asia-Pacific region.

DCAPO welcomes and needs input and assistance from Drupal users and communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region. DrupalCons are a lot of work, and are only possible through the community's effort. Please join the DCAPO group to share your opinions and experience, volunteer your time, or nominate yourself or others for roles on the selection team.

DCAPO will later announce a call to the community to suggest and research locations for the first Asia-Pacific DrupalCon. Note that a lot of work goes into researching locations. The DCAPO selection team will only be able to seriously consider locations with suitable venues, dates and event management companies, financial estimates, potential audience and motivated local teams.

But first, as much of the Asia-Pacific Drupal community as possible needs to get involved. You can help by translating and reposting this announcement on other websites where Asia-Pacific Drupal users and communities are likely to find it. Don't forget to note any translations and reposts in the DCAPO group so that we can track progress and share translations with each other.

The discussion on locations has become very broad and covers a wide range of topics and issues. It is very useful and enlightening. It has made it clear that we need to agree on a process for determining Asia-Pacific DrupalCon locations before we can agree on a location. It has also uncovered a number of factors that need to be evaluated and considered in order to properly evaluate nominations for host cities.

So what should the process be?

Wow long title and long list of tags :)

I checked out MalaysianSpace.com today and it was not renewed; it was owned by MENJ and it used the `Handshake' SNS software.

Whereas MuslimSpace.com uses the PHP-Fox software

Cyworld is advanced SNS (you can try the English version http://us.cyworld.com)

Habbo Hotel, Gaia Online, are for younger teens and kids

Cyworld/Habbo/Gaia earn money by `micro transactions' - kids pay around 30 cents - these SNS earned millions in profits

My proposal is:

Hi Guys,

I've been talking to team Lullabot about the possibility of running an Asian Drupal Conference here in Australia, and have received some positive feedback from their team. As a developer here in Australia, I have been keen for myself and the rest of my team to attend the famous Lullabot seminars, but due to distance, costs and Visa restriction post 911 have found the prospect of traveling to America not viable.

After listening to the Podcasts from the last Drupal Conference in Brussels, and the hearing about the number of other Drupal developers in Asia the idea of staging an Asia Drupal Con came to mind.
