We're not talking about your clients... We're talking about the "government" of the Phlippines. I think you know the characteristics, good and bad, of our government. In my opinion, as far as the phillippine government is concern, mandating the use of FOSS in the government has a lot of advantage than being choice-oriented. I think those are already stated in the bill.

On the *mandatory* implementation of F/OSS within the Gov't, I am on the side of pro-choice. Same with my clients, I always promote and recommend M$....but also inform them of the alternative, F/OSS. Then I leave up to them to decide which technology platform to use. If my clients want M$, then good for me.

If you just read the postcript of Federico D. Pascual Jr. at http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200612032602.htm it is unfair to us advocates of the F/OSS that we don't have any press releases defending our advocacies. Maybe it's about time to have our own press releases. Anyone here connected to any press companies and/or having its own blog? Can you guys help us out defend and enlighten the people that adopting F/OSS is not an overall disadvantage to our government but a benefit to all of us? Thank you. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
