This weekend (March 24-25 2012), the first BarCamp Angkor was held in Siem Reap, Cambodia. After my recent visit to Cambodia, I’m sad that I couldn’t be there to meet all the familiar friendly faces.

For me, the big highlight was Vannak Eng driving his motorcycle from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap (and back!) in order to attend, and also to help spread the word that the Khmer version of Firefox has progressed from Aurora and is now available in Beta. One step closer to the official Khmer Firefox release.

If you want to help test the beta version of Khmer Firefox, you can download it from here. Note: if your computer setup does not have Khmer fonts pre-installed, you can download Khmer fonts from here or here.

As I finished writing this, Vannak has just arrived safely back home in Phnom Penh after a long long ride. Well done, Vannak, and welcome home.
