[TYPO3-asia] follow-up Re: TYPO3 in Asia

Thu Sep 22 16:47:30 CEST 2011

Hi Rebecca,

Nice to hear from you and the Khmer TYPO3 User Group in Cambodia.

Skiing and snowboarding in Japan is really nothing short of the snowy
mountains we know from Switzerland. And in combination with the Japanese hot
spring, it's even more enjoyable. Would you be interested to join us next
year? Anyone else too reading the Asian mailinglist...?

Next up is a Community Day later this year in Kyoto. Hopefully the meeting
location gets confirmed soon, so we can announce the date. Kyoto is a
beautiful city with lots of exciting Japanese culture to see and experience.
Maybe a historic site similar to Angkor Wat in Cambodia ... ;-)

Would be nice anyway the Asian community gets a bit closer over time. Europe
has its conference in Germany, North America in San Francisco and next
French Canada... how about T3CON in Asia? Well, there is still lots and lots
of potential.

Warm regards from Tokyo,
Thomas
