[talk-ph] OSM-PH @ Software Freedom Day 2011

[Noli Sicad]

I think B.S. Agriculture, B.S. Forestry and B.S. Agricultural
Engineering students can be tapped as well.

It would be good to contact, Professors and Lecturers in these
Colleges and Universities who are teaching, surveying, mapping and GIS
courses and offer them lectures and  workshops.

Two years ago when I was in PH, I was asked by the Lecturer in UPLB
(UP at Los Banos) to delivered lecture in Operations Research and
mathematical modelling using FOSS software (i.e. GLPK). Students from
Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering attended the lecture and
the demo.
