[talk-ph] Software Freedom Day 2010

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

Does anybody know about the Software Freedom Day[1] happening today,
September 18 at UP Diliman? In the programme[2] there's a bunch of plenary
talks in the morning and in the afternoon are several breakout sessions. In
the "FOSS Suites and Projects" breakout session, there's a topic titled
"Mapping Technologies". I wonder what this actually contains. I'm guessing
FOSS GIS software like QGIS. or Grass GIS.

If there was a local chapter of OSGEO or FOSSGIS, I'm quite sure they would
partner with this event. (But I think Maning would be the only person there.
:-p)

Anyway, I think that OpenStreetMap Philippines should have been involved
with this event now that we have a non-profit org. Practically all
OSM-centric software is FOSS. Maybe next year. :-)
