Theapplications are yet to be determine but in my opinion, it would be related to Wordpress, Drupal andPHPBB.The terms and conditions for the approved application must be the support of the main database forMSSQL. There may be a training or free courses that will be held in KL on “HOW TO” use PHP withthe support of MSSQL and also on how to connect PHP with MSSQL using the existing drivers in PHPor PDO. (These workshops will also be sponsored by Microsoft)The first steps required are:1.Participation of Volunteers2.Suggestions for related applications.
