Hi everyone!

I am presenting on what's happening with Drupal in emerging markets at DrupalCon Denver.

As some of you know, I lived in India for about 6 years; a few of them developing in Drupal. I am also an Acquia employee (for the past 3 years) and now mostly work in training.

I know the Indian situation pretty well, but I'm as clueless as anyone about most of the rest of the world. So I made a little survey to try and gather some opinions and data. "Emerging market" is a loaded and awful term, but for lack of a better one, I'm using it to mean anywhere that doesn't already have a large Drupal marketplace and community (i.e. North America and Western Europe).

The goals of my presentation are:

Highlight the growth of Drupal worldwide
Provide insights on the adoption patterns of customers in emerging markets
Show the challenges and opportunities for SMEs and large companies
Celebrate and discuss the challenges of new Drupal communities around the world

Please take a moment to fill it out (5 minutes maximum). The results will be presented in Denver and the raw data will be shared with everyone.

I've posted this to several groups, but if you want to repost it in your local group or an area I didn't hit (there are many) please go ahead and do so.

Hi Jacob

"Emerging market" is accurate for South Africa :) The drupal community in SA is fairly small but vibrant and smart - I'm proud to be a part of it! I'll give more info on your survey.
