Any scene existing in Vietnam?
category: general [glöplog]
I managed to eat with chopsticks but I didn't manage to find any scene or scener here in Vietnam. Even prominent search engines are like "WTF, how should I know that".
Also, as far as I am aware, no scene website makes it possible to look up users by country...
Anyone here from VN or surrounding countries?
Ah yeah, I can see the rice field jokes coming, don't be a ricesist :-P

i love the smell of copperbars in the morning!
http://demozoo.org/search/?q=vietnam would reveal them, if there were any. So no :-(

great to see a lifesign from you!

ah, got your email in the meantime, never mind =)
gasman: it didn't reveal pigpen, yet he's there. And I guess that reveals the main likelihood of finding more sceners in vietnam - people who've moved there for whatever reason :)
gasman,
They are still many people missing from demozoo.

CSDb site for C64 demoscene has search for countries, but Vietnam is not even in the list.
Forcer: great report. thanks for the link!
"A business card from Google doesn't hurt either."
Judging by the great report posted by Forcer, it seems that Vietnam would be a demoscene superpower in the next decade.
Great report, indeed. Currently it is even very hard to find devs for our company, let's wait ten more years... %)
Demozoo is strange, it looks like tons of different information sources are thrown together... Wrongly... But nice I see some in Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, ...

PigPen: so do you do outreach? ;)
Penis joke incoming...

Due to a lack of funds, the school could not afford two CS teachers, so half the school was unable to take CS. I asked what a teacher's salary was. $100 per month. So I went to an ATM and bought them a second teacher for the next year.
Oooookaaaay.
The article about computer education in Vietnam was interesting. But I doubt there will be many Vietnamese demosceners due to this. I reckon they will be more interested in using their computer skills to make money.
Just now I have read on Facebook that in Sweden children are also taught to program computer games at school since the game industry is considered a huge business in Sweden. We will see if this will bring more Swedish demosceners in a couple of years - most likely not.

pigpen, feel free to correct information at demozoo!
Sweden had a very strong Atari ST demoscene back in the days (The Carebears, Sync, Omega, Ghost, Flexible Front, No Crew,...)
and so did France.
@Forcer:
True.
@PigPen:
You may try to contact (if he is still living there...)

lsl: Not to mention the 64 scene, which is like 30% swedish these days. Most of the bigger c64 centric parties (except for X, I guess) are being held in Sweden as well.
I had a short tweet-conversation with someone who appeared to be Vietnamese a month back.
