How do we become `Drupal Malaysia' // C.R.E.A.M.S of the crop
Muslim guy - March 23, 2006 - 13:15
XOOPS has its own official community and service provider in Malaysia.
Since we are web builders who have used Drupal for many clients, and seeing how Xoops has its own official national rep for fellow countrymen, we might consider to apply for `Drupal Malaysia'.
Maybe
http://drupalmalaysia.org
The commercial gain is not a big priority for us. Our main objectives are to help building better websites and we even have our own acronyms that we think about Drupal.

Dries is on holiday (getting married and not checking Drupal.org) for a few weeks. The license is GPL for the code and Creative Commons for the handbook. I personally do not know how the international affiliation sites are handled. You might ask on the Infrastructure list if someone who does know doesn't see this thread.

Not to be snide, but "creams" has some lewd implications in American English.
Maybe not the best acronym.

That's ok, Malaysians speak
That's ok, Malaysians speak British English (or Queen's).
Even then, many British slangs are not known among non-English (I mean native English)
Pretty much summing up what Drupal is capable of -
- Creative content
- Comics!
- Education
- E-Commerce!
- Magazine
- Management
So clients eother it is a non-profit organization, or a business company wanting a website, we no longer (or reluctant) to do them HTML sites, the static type where a single error has to be edited by webmasters.
Mention CMS and most of our clients have no idea. The more creative way of describing Drupal to clients is to present its
capabilities from their point of view and they will see that it helps to fulfill their needs, either an online magazine, ecommerce,
or organizational and corporate sites.
Thankx Sepeck.

Anybody else have ideas what Drupal can do?
****Drupal is a lot more exciting than Joomla/Mambo/Xoops/PHP-Nuke
and we highly recommend clients and newbies to try Drupal first before giving up
The only setback for a newbie is that:
The default PUSHBUTTON theme is tricky to modify. Why is that the default logo is tiny, and the primary links are placed almost at the middle. For this, you have to edit the xtemplate.xtmpl which is not really fun.
Suggestion:
Default theme - pushbutton - modified to enable the user logo or banner to be placed top/centered
Second theme - suitable for `corporate or business' look
DrupalMalaysia.org registered
All praise to Allah the Great to give us the chance, we haved registered DrupalMalaysia.org to be based in Malaysia hosted with 500 Megabytes.
This site will serve Drupal enthusiasts and corporate applications.

Good one!
It's good to know someone around have started with drupal and taken this initiative. So when is our next event? BTW, I am based in Kuala Lumpur.
I have currently have a project, done it with Joomla. Almost done, but decided to migrate to Drupal before I hand over to my client in middle March. My decision due to intensive study and comparison between drupal, joomla/mambo, typo3, plone ...
So been learning alot in the past weeks. Looking forward to get my hands dirty with Drupal now ...
