I came across Asian Open Source Center which links to Pakistan. I saw the usual suspects for Linux Pakistan there [just a joke, no offence please!].
CGExpanse for digital artists created recently.
Is it that we don't have developer communities from Pakistan or do I simply not know about them?

Developers communities need to understand some basic converstions and communication ettiquettes to grow and become effective in a collective state and Pakistan IS catching up with that. Don't expect something big to happen here until 2006-7, I guess. The nerds, programmers and network engineers do have some meeting-up places but we aren't good marketers, you know, Zunaira, so, that keeps us away from the lime light. What I am disappointed to see is that the Designers and other digital artists haven't done much despite their being better in these things until recently. But nevertheless, we could finally see SOMETHING ahead... at least something.
Here is something that should explain the reasons of why we don't make it big online:
http://www.cgexpanse.com/viewtopic.php?t=758 This is a topic under the sub-forum NEWS related to graphic community. The topic is started by someone who states that he has 6yr experience blah blah. It's just a small thing but given the amount of rich information increasing each day, such haphazard management of information systems, such as forums, is very amateurish.
From what I can tell, Pakistani developers are a level or two lower in Maslov's Hierarchy of needs from their peers in other countries. We'll see a bigger community presence once we move beyond coding for a living and start coding for the fun of it.
There is a developers community in Pakistan. They're just too busy making ends meet right now.
