A competition will be hosted by PHP.net.my in conjunction with MSC
Open Source Conference 2009 and will be held in Berjaya Time Square
Hotel and Convention Centre Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from May 31st
(Sunday) to the 3rd of June (Wednesday) 2009.

We would like to invite all the members from PHP.net.my and anyone who
is interested to join the committee. The contest will be held 2 weeks
before the actual event that ends on the 31st of May 2009 and the
winner will be announced on that same day.

The winner of the competition will be granted cash prizes totaling RM
10,000.00 for all 5 categories. The prize money is sponsored by
Microsoft Malaysia.

For now, PHP.net.my will choose 20 applications in 5 categories
1. Forum
2. Groupware
3. Blog
4. eCommerce
5. CMS/Portal

All the applications above will be asked to support the main database
of MSSQL 2008. The applications are yet to be determine but in my
opinion, it would be related to Wordpress, Drupal and PHPBB.

The terms and conditions for the approved application must be the
support of the main database for MSSQL. There may be a training or
free courses that will be held in KL on “HOW TO” use PHP with the
support of MSSQL and also on how to connect PHP with MSSQL using the
existing drivers in PHP or PDO. (These workshops will also be
sponsored by Microsoft)

The first steps required are:
1. Participation of Volunteers
2. Suggestions for related applications. Please note again that there
are 20 application in 5 categories.

With this I hope that all the members of PHP.net.my will contribute
ideas to the competition and help in raising the image of PHP.net.my.
On MDeC side, participation can also improve opportunities for funding
future developers. I will be updating the community from time to time
with regards to this competition within this forum.

Please start you discussion. TQ

p/s: all the source code in the competition will be contributed back
to the community (AND REMAIN OPEN SOURCE)

- Install Fest

Common portmanteau word for “installation festival”; Linux user groups
frequently run these. Computer users are invited to bring their
machines to have Linux installed on their machines. The idea is to get
them painlessly over the biggest hump in migrating to Linux, which is
initially installing and configuring it for the user’s machine. Pick
your distro like Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSe, PCBSD and more.

This include OSS for Windows like OpenOffice.org, GIMP for Windows,
Mozilla Firefox and many more.
