DailySocial wants to take you on a road trip with them to discover the next batch of promising software developers, designers, and aspiring tech leaders throughout Indonesia. Noting the difficulties of reaching out to Indonesia’s top talents, who are mostly located outside the capital city of Jakarta, DailySocial hopes this new initiative, DSCVR (short for Discover), will help overcome this problem.

While it is common to associate batik with Indonesia, a rising number of people are realizing that this large Southeast Asian nation is making waves in the regional technology startup scene. With over 240 million people, Indonesia boasts a favorable mix of market opportunity, local and foreign talents, and increasing support for technology-focused initiatives. DailySocial is one such team dedicated to this aim. REGISTER HERE and DailySocial will follow up with further details of the program.

The Sound of the Underground « Scout Network Blog. One of the drastic effects of this rapidly-growing digital world is the decline in music album sales, at least in their physical form. If the first LPs were replaced by cassettes, and tapes were replaced by CDs, digital music has now replaced them all. While these formats have not entirely disappeared, there are bleak prospects for them in terms of distribution. The closure of some of Indonesia’s record bars are a testament to the fact that digital developments have reinforced the death of music stores.

However, Iit Sukmiati and StafiantoTrie still stand their ground and remain advocates of physical album sales, by launching Omuniuum. While it was initially as a bookstore, along the way the couple has discovered the joy in distributing band merchandise and CDs as well. Iit and Trie do not play music but are supporters of the local scene, as they hang out with musicians and regularly attend events. Married with one child, Iit and Trie have started Omuniuum using their own personal funds. Untitled. Geekylabs.
