The forum is for "free" and it aims to advocate open source solutions among computer users in the government, academe and private sector to address the rampant software piracy and austerity measures. It also paves way for the creation of the Bicol Open Source Society (BiOS) to facilitate promotion of open source systems in the region, to sustain and implement the outputs of the forum, and to plan future programs and activities towards open source adoption

* Value of Open Source
* Linux 101
