On behalf of Ron Michael Khu :
How about sending the invitation to the PLUG list? or to other LUGs? :D Or naay preference daan who will make up the advisory committe?
I have not yet contacted PLUG and other LUGs regarding this. "PhOSSIL" might be misleading because of "Philippines" and might connote all Filipinos. Yes in the long term, PhOSSIL aims to cater to every pinoy however, the resources are not there yet, including the manpower. Immediate aim of PhOSSIL is to let local FOSS/LUG who are Mindanao-based to be the target niche for now. Primary reason is we are the ones always left behind, dont you think? If PhOSSIL is will be able to provide the path to be at par with the rest of the FOSS programs in the country, so be it. However, for now. Advisory Committee, and volunteers will be immediate locality first. Mindanao and Visayas mostly. Reason one is that a lot of work will be needed and the closer we are with each other, the easier it is for us to convene. And the fact is that the org is going to be a laboratory and a community, the more we need geographical closeness. And last reason I think is that our great minds in IT are here however, they were obscured partly due to responsibilities, and the fact that the others up north grabbed the limelight away from those in the south. Plus the grants and projects that may have been needed badly by us here in Mindanao for the furtherance of FOSS. -- "A dog that has no bite, barks loudest."
