Philippine Wikipedians at the Philippine Open Source Summit
Posted by Vincent Isles at Wednesday, June 18, 2008But I will not be there.
This coming Monday and Tuesday, June 23 and 24, the first Philippine Open Source Summit will be held. Some members of the Philippine Wikipedia communities will be there. (Yep, I'm the Bentong Isles listed there, but I don't think I could/would come, for monetary and other reasons.) The day after that, June 25, will be the third anniversary of the establishment of the Cebuano Wikipedia.
One of the major sponsors of the summit is Microsoft Philippines, and, aherm, WikiPilipinas. (That smiley means something, seav. :-))

You're not coming? How about conducting Cebu 1 outside the summit so that TheCoffee can also come.
And yes, I bet you know what the smiley means. ;-)
@eugene: Yes, I will not be coming, but I will meet with Wikipedians who will be there. I have my ideological reasons.
Indeed, the open source movement in the Philippines is in danger of being hijacked by unscrupulous people who could not even get their textbooks right. :)
