The Vision

• Kiwigov is a free open source Drupal 7 distribution developed specifically for New Zealand government organisations.
• Install a fully featured, New Zealand government standards compliant Drupal 7 website in under 10 minutes.
• WCAG 2.0 Level AA out of box!

The Opportunity

Drupal within New Zealand is primed for an outpouring of growth and acceptance in usage. Particularly within NZ's government sector. Imagine... Drupal as the preferred government solution in New Zealand!

The Calling

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Xen based VPS host in NZ?

I've had shared hosting with Openhost for a number of years but want to look at VPS now. Openhost use Virtuozzo for their VPS offering which I understand is problematic for Drupal (http://omega8.cc/the-biggest-misunderstanding-ever-122).

If anyone is using Virtuozzo I'd be interested to hear about your experiences.

Alternatively are people using VPS from overseas?

Hi folk. This is a CROSS-POST from My Drupal showcase story (Yay, Front page, Drupal.org thanks Webchick!) that I thought I'd share with the Kiwis specifically.

It's a great idea to start the art group! We're looking for a Drupalikiwi for Drupal.net.nz if anyone feels the creative urge. Kiwi's are a NZ icon.

Note that the fruit that some people refer to as 'Kiwi' is actually 'Kiwifruit' and that a Kiwi is a flightless bird.

Congratulations to SilverStripe of Wellington, and Drupal!

Should we bother trying to promote this in High Schools in NZ? How?
