Believe me, GUI-bound programmers are PLENTIFUL! And I'm not just talking about STI or AMA. I'm talking about the Universty of the Philippines! I can't say anything about the Ateneo, I'm not Atenean. But my point is that a lot of CS (and not just IT/MIS) majors, while developers and programmers, think Microsofty (complete with clangers and FUD). And as a LUG I think we can (should?) do something. Talking about which I'd like to informally announce the establishment of the ILUG, or the Isko't Iska Linux Users' Group. We already have a chatroom up, #ILUG, in the UP College of Medicine's IRC server, as well as a mailing list hosted in Banwa <http://banwa.upm.edu.ph/>. While advocacy work of the LUG will focus on UP Manila for starters (since this is where I'm from), the LUG is not campus-centric and is open to all Linux folk who study, work, or teach in the University. Muchos gracias to guru Eric Pareja for working on both the chatroom and the mailing list. :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
