Oooh coool....i wish if i can got to ksa to attend this nice event
i got a training on liferay at germany 1.5 years ago . i thought no body working on liferay at middle east emoticon

i wish if they can repeat this event at at jordan emoticon
The conference is a big success. We also demonstrated Liferay in Arabic langauge (both demo and the audio). It is very well received.

There are many universities and businesses (large enterprises) using Liferay in Middle East as Arabic language is supported out of the box with RIGHT TO LEFT themes, menus, labels etc.

Depending up on the interest we will plan to conduct another Liferay event in Middle East soon (either in Dubai or Beirut or Riyadh or Amman).
