What is Asia Source 3?
From the site itself, it says:
Building Capacities and Empowering Humanity through the use of Free and Open Source Software to connect, cooperate, and collaborate – the FOSS way.
And true to their word, it is an event where the participants gets the final word to what we will get to learn in the end. It also fosters and environment where everyone is encouraged to ask questions and share what they know. For anyone dealing with FOSS, Asia Source 3 is a good way to make connections with other FOSS advocates as well as a breath of fresh air as new ideas flow in from the conversations and from the track topics.
September 26, 2009 — Despite my still recovering stomach and the windy (and rainy) weather, we set out to go to Adamson University for the 3-hour (gasp!) long seminar. We were able to arrive, just in time for the 8:30 start in the morning. We did not begin right away though. We waited for one of our companion speakers before we began. Turned out that he realized that he left his USB (read: his slides) when he was half-way to his way to Adamson. He then had to go back and get his slides, and then travel again back to Adamson. By the time he got in, it was already 9:30 (and I already got to eat my breakfast, yey!). We then started with our talks in our respective classrooms. We’re covering Zembly, JavaFX and Linux. Another speaker that we did not know will be discussing SAP.
There were 2 major celebrations for Software Freedom Day in the Philippines last September 19. One was in the NCC and the other was in UST. As much as I wanted to be in all of the venues, I had to pick one. Actually, I did not really have a choice. I needed to be at UST because I gave the routine FOSS talk. Oddly enough, I did not feel nervous giving the talk. In fact, I think I did okay. Audience rapport was good and I can tell they were listening.
