When I started probing the Malaysian Drupal community a while back about the viability of organizing a DrupalCamp in Kuala Lumpur in July, many people were enthusiastic but not so many were able to find the time or energy to pitch in.

I still felt like going ahead – the challenge of remotely getting an event up and running was just too much fun to let go.

BarCampMalaysia is coming up real soon now, with little under 3 weeks to go. The two-day event will take place on July 26 and 27 in Kuala Lumpur, capital of one of the technologically most rapidly evolving regions in the world.

In case you didn’t know, Barcamp Ghent is in full swing at the moment, and will last till around 17:00 tonight.

I’ve seen Thomas prepare the event for some weeks now and he has gone to amazing lengths to make it successful.

IBBT is sponsoring the event by hosting it, providing catering, buying network gear and allowing Thomas to spend a generous amount of his working hours on organizing it all.
