Jacob Redding, John Zhu and myself are proposing a session for the upcoming drupalcon in Boston, March 2nd to 6th 2008.

SESSION OVERVIEW

China is beginning to adopt Drupal and since its slated as the next “India” in terms of an outsourcing hub what does this mean for the Drupal world. Join this round table discussion on the state of Drupal in China. Who is using Drupal? What companies are there? How does Drupal fit into the country’s development? Why is Drupal in China important? What are the barriers to entry for a business or a developer?

TRACK

Marketing and Business but also Community and Core. Drupal in China is as much about building a community as it is about business.

AGENDA

• Things will start off with introductions of some of the Drupal shops in China as well as an overview of the state of Drupal and OSS in China.
• We’ll discuss the current community in China and how developers are connecting with each other to work on projects. The use of drupalchina.org, groups.drupal.org, IRC, etc.
• An overview of the translation work being done to help promote Drupal within China.
• The floor will always be open for questions and comments.

GOALS

We hope to encourage discussion about the use of Drupal within China and bring to light some of the challenges and rewards when working with the country as many of the challenges faced in China are faced in other countries throughout the world. If you are interested in how China is using Drupal and who the players are and if China is right for you or your business attend and share your thoughts and opinions.

This past year has been interesting as our studio has managed to reshape itself into a full service open source agency. We started the year with 8 staffers and grew to a team of 29 and the opening of a regional office in Shanghai.

So what is in store for us and our clients in 2008?

With the merger of the Bryght folks and the Raincity peeps, we now have an amazing team working in Vancouver. We are now providing a wider selection of services including, consulting, designing, developing, hosting, marketing, supporting and training. We are developing internal projects; mostly hosted deployment platforms and cross platform tools.

Feeling festive yet? Here in Gastown and in Shanghai, the cobblestones are icy and sidewalks are crazy packed with shoppers, tourists and construction crews.

To maximize the celebratory period and allow our diligent crew to unwind, Raincity Studios is leaving the doors shuttered and closed for the week of Dec 24th thru Jan 1st.
