of course Selangor/WP is not Malaysia. but the active ones are located
in this area. Also , FOSS-MY != Fedora-MY.

Currently in term of Fedora-MY group, majority are in Selangor/WP, and
we kindof got Farouq at JB, thats for now. The rest are idle. There
are also some Fedorans in Perak (UTP/UiTM)

Also, do note that Fedora-MY is a group with no money besides from our
own shallow pockets. We cant afford (monetarily, and time) to cycle
venues like that.

Therefore, at this point of time, what we can afford is Selangor/WP as
our starting point. Until more consumers are converted to become
contributors.
