Booting up

We seem to be rather quiet lately since FOSS.my 2009. That's because we have been working hard at booting up Inigo. We wanted to prove that it's viable to run a Malaysian IT company that values employee contributions, life balance between work and family, and community values both social and technical. Luckily for us, MySQL AB has already done this at an international scale, and their founders have been keen to share their knowledge and experiences. We have then adapted this model for Malaysia. We are also using only free and open source software to do all our work, including administrative and financial work. Where it is lacking, we file/fix bugs, provide input or write our own. We're still learning and adapting, and will continue to share our experiences with others here.

Services and Solutions

With the updated the website, you should now be able to find quickly all the services and solutions we provide. We specialize in Plone, but do contact us if you have specific development and training needs, especially for large organizations with multiple departments. We're also familiar with working remotely supporting clients in Bangkok, New Delhi and Incheon.

FOSS Community

Although we're not doing enough yet in terms of upstream participation, we try to do our best with sending patches, documentation and modules. Here are some of our Plone contributions:

• Two Level Navigation in Plone 3 (howto)
• Collection Portlet Multiview which extends the standard collection portlet with a few additional views and allows you to easily extend it with your own.
• Lithium Theme for Plone

All of our shared code is available locally for developers as reference: https://dev.inigo-tech.com/svn/base.

A more flexible FOSS only working environment also allows us to contribute to other projects in our individual capacity.

Not known by many, but we also host and maintain community sites and projects on our servers:

• FOSS.my
• FOSS.org.my and related community sites and lists such as Planet MyOSS (where you will find our personal blogs), FossChix.my
• Fedora Malaysia
• UNDP's APDIP.net archives

We hope we can continue to improve and do well this year, which would mean we can be more supportive of local and upstream communities.
