I think they are looking from presentations on a different type of routing than OSM can provide :)<br><br>Technology developments is an area that OSM could potentially fit into, but, as of right now, OSM in the Philippines in still working heavily on data gathering, in the next couple of years as mapping effort accelerates and the data set becomes more comprehensive, I'd hope to see people in the Philippines coming up with some innovative and generally cool ways of using the OSM data to do things that were not possible without open geodata as is happening in countries with already reasonably complete data... <br>
<br>I'd agree that 1 presentation offer within the Philippines would be disappointing, but, I can't help but wonder if this is not indicative of a lack of awareness of the conference by networking professionals in the Philippines... I'm not based in the Philippines, but, I am in Asia and I'd never heard of it before...<br>
