On Open-Source & SFD Bicol
Posted by jessie on Jul 25, 2006 in | 5 comments
I was able to attend SFD Bicol yesterday at AUL with bossing dune and nhile. We came rather late as our bus moved in myterious ways 
The event was participated mostly by students from Legazpi schools. It’s co-sponsored by BiOS where I’m a member of.
Anyhow, I actually liked the theme: Bicol: Towards Open Source Country and I’m one with making this vision a reality in our place. Why not? Let’s do it slowly one at a time.
Im thinking of organizing (not leading 
, if only I have a lot of time to spare) a local group here in Naga City, BiOS Naga Chapter. What saith you? Calling all free/open-source advocates out there – let’s get organize!

what should be the name of Naga Chapter, anyone?
actually my friend and i organized open source seminar workshop last february of 2004 here in naga and we invite some of board members and members of PLUG (philippine linux users group)to talk…and we organized the Bicol Open Source Society (BOSS) connected to PLUG with the help of RHCE Gabriel Briones III, Lito Lampitoc, Mike Liguit and Lawrence Salmingo and from Batangas Open Source Society, unfortunately my friend and i were both busy and we cannot continue what we started 2 years ago….
so if you have plan to organize new open source organization here in naga “go for it” lots of open source advocate here waiting for that” you can ask for the help, edel mania 1 of the pioneer open source user and zakame b. elep our very own bicolano ubuntu developer and debian maintainer…good luck!
great to hear that! are you in naga right now? maybe we can start some discussions via a mailing list and invite interested people from around naga city to join in.
though i haven\’t personally meet both edel and zak yet, i already met them virtually
so yes, we will be needing their help and support.
other opensource enthusiasts out ther – break the silence. let\’s get it on.
