Looking forward to The Philippine Open Source Summit
After much wait, the Philippine Open Source Summit has been finally announced and will be held at the Cebu International Convention Center on June 23 and 24, 2008. This is truly significant and very timely for me because this is going to be the largest convention that I will be able to witness, and I’m already working in Cebu using opensource tools on the job.
What’s to look forward to?
Doh! This is “TEH” biggest opensource event to happen in the Philippines. Plus Apache Software Foundation is going to be there with VP Ken Coar speaking about opensource communities. There’s also opensource blogger Matt Asay to talk about opensource business models, and Danese Cooper of OSI talking about opensource deployments.
And yes, exhibitions abound and some breakout sessions on SugarCRM, Adempiere, Pentaho, Drupal, RoR, Eclipse, Maven, Tomcat/Jetty, and MySQL. It’s also going to be the initiation of the Open Source Association and the Philippine Open Source Center. I’m also pretty sure that Dr. Alvin Marcelo and Dr. Francis Sarmiento, both with IOSN will be there and I’d love to meet them.
It’s going to be the best venue to meet and get to know more about the people behind opensource in the Philippines. I’d say I’m not excited. I’m thrilled!
