Hopefully they will conduct an event not only on one part of the country but also on other parts of the Philippines to spread the technology on using Open Source specially on IT schools and professionals as part of Education and to heighten the technology competitiveness.
Sana may local organizers din sa mga local regions natin, hopefully..
