Greetings from Vietnam. Let me give you a quick update from Vietnamese Mozilla Community. Vu Hung shared his Mozcamp experiences and the Mozilla goodies at the informal gathering of Open Source communities in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Few days ago, I met Tuan and Yang to talk about Mozilla community activities in Vietnam. We spent the afternoon discussing ideas for more user engagement, Localization and future events in Vietnam. Mozilla community is well organized in the north Vietnam (Hanoi), however we haven't had much success in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
I'll be traveling to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) this weekend to participate in BarCamp Saigon Winter 2011. Planning to meet some of the open source community members at the event and hopefully build an active Mozilla community in Saigon.
Back in Hanoi next week for the FOSS@HUS on December 17, 2011. The annual Open Source fest at Hanoi University of Science (HUS), Hanoi, Vietnam.
ThanYalZin Min sends us this picture from Ubuntu day in Mandalay, Myanmar. You can see Min sporting the cool Mozcamp t-shirt in the photograph.
Mozilla Rep Chit Thiri Maung is planning the future Mozilla activities in Yangon and Mandalay. This year we launched the Mozilla L10N team during the BarCamp Yangon 2011.
You can follow Mozilla Myanmar Community here on their twitter page. I hope to see more Mozillians in Myanmar next year.
The beautiful city of Vietiane hosted the second Barcamp Vientiane on Novemeber 19, 2011. Vientiane is capital and the largest city in Laos. Thomas Wanhoff the organizer of the event helped us distrubute Mozilla swag at the event. Unfortunately I couldn't attend Barcamp Vientiane this year but I hope we'll have more mozillians in Vientiane next year.
Vu Hung, Mozilla Vietnamese Localization contributor from Hanoi participated in FOSS Asia 2011 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He shares his experiences in this blog post.
Here is a short report for what I (Vu Hung) did present in FOSSASIA.
Arky, who has been helping our open source comminities, especially in
building Mozilla community in Vietnam was the best person to give a
talk on that, but he was busy with an event in Eupore, so there I go
:)
Narro is the tool the translation, and not like for translating
.po file Mozilla has a special format for language files
so Mozilla team (Arky is one of them) had developed Narror to help
translators.
The title of the present was made by Ms. Phuc but the content of
the talk focuses on the technologies that Mozilla is using,
this will help audiences (mostly students) have a basic knowledge
on what is used and cooked in Mozilla.
I also pointed out that Mobile/Smartphone, cloud computing and
open web are the trends that Mozilla is working on.

I introduced two projects that LibreOffice is working on at very
begining stage:
LibreOffice on smartphone (Android) and LibreOffice on the cloud.
Imagine that the share of PCs is decreasing, while the number of
(smart)phones and tablets are increasing.
Mozcamp Asia 2011 was held in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 18-20 November 2011. The two day event was packed with interactive presentations, discussions on new products, engagement opportunities, and community building.
Mozilla communities from various Asian countries participated in this event. You view more information about various communities and their activities on the Mozilla Asia Community Quilt.
The event theme was "Many Voices, One Mozilla", and had three broad tracks of engineering, training and regionalization, the content for this MozCamp is now available online here
