DrupalCon Asia-Pacific

Hey hey drupal chix0rs :)

Just a note to make sure you are all aware that moves are afoot to organise a DrupalCon in Asia-Pacific. This is very early days, so if you are interested in helping to make it happen, please check out the official announcement and join the DCAPO group!

DrupalCon Asia-Pacific organizers invite you to participate

Asia Pacific encompasses two continents! Asia and Oceania.
Or, putting it another way, not Europe, North America, South America or Africa.

Oops sorry folks - Ryan pointed out the DCAPO announcement had already been posted here, don't know how I missed it, sorry for the spam! :( He asked me to delete it, but I don't seem able to do that [If I should be able to do that, and I am just being a dufus, someone please teach me how :) ]

So, anyway - given this exciting development, it would be very cool to see a bunch of you at DrupalSouth in January, so we can build momentum for a DrupalCon in our neck of the woods!

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.
