Currently he is working for Quanta and for the KhmerOS project in Cambodia, where he has been living together with his wife for almost four years. He is an Open Source Developer for KhmerOS project. He had been presenting of Localization and KDE in Cambodia at the conference.

As I know him, he is fluently in english speaking, talent and clever. He was wearing Mekhala T-shirt (Mekhala is a Web browser program locale in Khmer from Mozilla Firefox) at being presents in the conference.

Ohoo, I forgot to talk about other one from KhmerOS, he is blackest man in the team, his name Sokhem as a localization or translation team leader. But we always joke to call him IBM, do u know IBM? It stand for International Black Man. Don’t confuse it is the brand name of computer IBM na! lolz

But Sokhem comments me to call him International Business Man (IBM). hahaha…hahaha..

KhmerOS project will conduct a Unicode Typing contest that is organised by the National Information Communications Development Authority of the Royal Government of Cambodia (NiDA) and the NGO Open Forum of Cambodia, in the framework of the KhmerOS joint project at the end of this year 2006.

The Unicode Typing Contest is a National Contest in which participants compete on typing and document formatting skills in Khmer language. More specifically, they compete on the speed at which they can type in Khmer (Unicode fonts) and on the speed at which they can prepare a simple office document.

The Unicode Typing Contest will take place in each province of Cambodia. The national contest will take place in Phnom Penh with the winners of the provincial contests.

Mr. Chea Sambath, Mr. Prim Pilot, Me, and Sokhem were looking at my screen showing about KhmerOS project activities in the office.

He hardly went to school at all; in the whole of his life he spent less than one year in a classroom, but he taught himself a great deal from books, and life taught him even more.

He managed to learn to read, and in a few months in one school, to write and to count. After that, he read every book he could put his hands on, that is, every book within eigthy kilometres of the Lincoln home.

He read every minute of the day when he was not working, and sometimes when he ought to have been working. But he also learned by asking question to every one who came to his way and who could tell him somehting new.
