Editorial October 2009
Ayubowan, welcome to the ninth issue of the online IT magazine diGIT.
September was indeed a very busy month for all of us. The literacy month was celebrated with the annual book fair held at BMICH. It was a special occasion for our diGIT magazine since the public were able to purchase the special edition diGIT CD. A large number of book lovers were thrilled to have their own copy of diGIT. More information on the event can be read in our feature article.
The first symposium on localized systems and applications was held at the University of Moratuwa on the 2nd of September. Over 20 personalities involved in localization gave a brief 10 minutes presentation to the audience. It is a great initiative of LAKapps team and hope they will organize such events in the very near future. Do check the article to read details on the event.
Singapore was host for the biggest games convention in Asia. It was held at Suntec centre between 17th and 20th September. The event had exhibitors from 11 countries including Sri Lanka. It was the first time that a Sri Lankan company participated at a games convention and was an eye opener to the world about the talents that Sri Lankans are able to offer. The event was well organized and attended by a large public and business gathering. Do check the feature article and see which company from Sri Lanka took part in the event.

Let me end this months editorial with an important quotation which in my opinion is something we can all take to heart. It is by Art Turock who once said
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.
Happy reading!
