Might it be more prudent if we can consolidate several of the requests into<br>
1, preferably in Manila? Outside of Manila, there is no group of mappers who<br>
are also interested in spreading the word or giving lectures, workshops, and<br>

Just thinking out loud here ... would it be possible to do tutorials or demos online, using web conferencing software? Then the geographical location becomes irrelevant. It defintely works for Slideshows and Q&A - I've done a few of them on Online Security topics.<br>

<br>Also, I've noticed that Filipinos generally prefer face-to-face interaction. I've seen countless times where you ask the audience if they have any questions and nobody would raise their hands. But after the lecture is over, a few people would approach the lecturer and then ask questions. This kind of interaction would be hard to do online.<br>
