My first Mural.ly!

I just discovered Mural.ly a few days ago and now I have made my first Mural.ly. It's actually a 'mural' of some videos, photos, links, etc of the recent Software Freedom Day event last September 15, 2012 in University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. This 'mural' can also be viewed here. Make your own 'mural', check out Mural.ly today!

SFD2012 in ANC

I found this video today while browsing the Facebook page of Software Freedom Day Philippines. It's good to know more about free and open source software after watching this video. Now it's your turn to watch it!

My first SFD

It was a  day to remember  for me last Saturday, September 15, 2012. I attended my first Software Freedom Day event and this time it was held in the Benitez Theater of the College of Education in the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila. There were a lot of computer science students from some private college in Antipolo City, Rizal and a few of their teachers. Not even education students from UPD were in the event.  In the morning was the plenary session and in the afternoon were breakaway sessions and the one for educators was the one I attended, that's FOSS for Educators.  One observation I made about the said session was that there were only a few educators, (less than ten) and they were not even acknowledged by the presenters. Most of the attendees were from Antipolo. Rizal and it seemed like they were just asked to go there just to fill the 300-seater theater.  My hope is that next year, more educators would be attending Software Freedom Day 2013 and I am even willing to help promote the event to my fellow educators and other educators in Metro Manila and Rizal.  Here below is a playlist of the videos I took last SFD 2012.  Watch also the videos here. Forgive me for the bad recording, next time it will be better!
