Malaysians & technology enthusiasts are generally very receptive towards new & unknown technologies. I think it's an attitude within ourselves that we like to explore the unknown albeit the common stigma that flies around our heads. I agree.

I once took a trip to Malaysia to attend their VoIP conference and exhibition. I really liked the attitude of their people. Unlike most Arab nations, these guys are actually more open to adopt newer technologies. However, I believe management of open source systems is still an issue. It is also one of the major obstacles in its adoption worldwide. You need good resources to run these fascinating services. One interesting application I came across the other day was zivios. It's kind of a response to what Red Hat offered a few months ago under the name of freeipa. See if these are around in Malaysia. Interesting thoughts indeed.
