It was a fantastic Saturday morning as participants thronged the USM’s Auditorium 1, USAINS, Eureka Complex.

The tips and guidance provided by the speakers were valuable to most of us as it gave us a more detailed view on the do’s and don’ts of bloggers in cyberlaw.

The speakers - Mr Foong Cheng Leong shared with us on  Bloggers & Copyrights Laws

Mr. Stephen Tan Ban Cheng on the other hand, shared about Bloggers & Defamation Law

Special thanks to the moderator - Mr. Khairul Anuar bin Shaharudin for his entertaining speech.

Besides the speakers and moderator, Eddie Law - is the next great person that we should thank for making this forum a successful one! And not forgetting to USM for sponsoring the venue!

Now, let’s cut the story short and let the pictures speak for itself on how wonderful the event was.

I traveled down to KL over the weekend to attend eLawyer Law Conference 2009 (Blogging & Law). It is organized by my friend Eddie Law, who is passionate on building an online community of lawyers. Exabytes is the premium sponsor of the event and I represented WebmasterMalaysia Forum, one of the online media partner.The event was held at Auditorium Tun Mohd Suffian of UM Law Faculty.

The conference touched on a very important and serious issue that concern all bloggers in Malaysia - the legality of blogging, especially in the wake of many big name bloggers were detained over the past few years. No wonder the conference was packed with people: media, lawyers, law students, and of course, the bloggers.

Last weekend, the committees from MyBloggerCon (大马部落) paid us a special visit.

These bloggers came to meet and present us with a testimonial as their token of appreciation for our sponsorship on their Dedicated Server hosting. We were deeply moved by their sincerity as they traveled all the way from KL to Penang, and there were a total 8 of them! What an honor!

Since they have come a long way to show their gratitude to us, surely a peek at Exabytes’s office was a chance not-to-be-missed! After all, a golden opportunity like this does not knock on one’s door very often! Therefore, with great honor, we brought these special guests around the office for a brief office tour in the hopes to show them our real working ethics and environment. They seemed impressed – well, at least that was the impression they gave us from the looks on their faces! Hehe.

Oh and one thing you should know is that, here in Exabytes, we believe that every guest should be treated like kings and queens at any possible time. Therefore, when the clock stroke 1pm and our stomachs started to growl, as usual, our generous CEO Chan Kee Siak killed the fatted calf and threw a hearty lunch to welcome all of our special guests. During this time, we have also taken the opportunity to exchange the experiences and views in blogging culture and hosting industry trends.

It was indeed a day to remember and an even great pleasure to meet all of them. They have absolutely done a marvelous job in developing local blogging culture and therefore, keep up the good work, guys!

Community Events, Insight @ Exabytes!

Gathering and hanging out with good buddies is always a great thing to do in this fast-paced urban life. For bloggers, attending an event which can get all bloggers from the blogsphere to gather together and meet up in person while making new friends really means a lot.

On last weekend, a group of young bloggers from Penang with plenty of vigour organized a blogger gathering event at Paradise Sandy Bay Beach Resort, Penang.

The gathering was named as “What A Bloggiful World”. Interesting, but kinda a mouthful name.

Although the committee of the event is formed by a group of college students, they managed to take initiative to acquire sponsorship from some local big brands such as Digi, Celebrity Fitness, GSC, Paradise Resort  etc and Exabytes to fund the event. Impressive, isn’t it?

The event took place in a cafeteria which is located at the lower ground level of the resort, nearby the swimming pool.
