I can't stand it anymore. 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.
i'm glad that you're not related to the writer (are you? kiddin :) ) the writer forgot to do some research since he's not aware that the LAMP stack among other things, is a more "popular" software than those of other brands (unless he's referring to brands alone). and to think of it, even the big companies behind most popular software brands are also backing FOSS.
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?
i think we also need a professional lobbying group since the other parties involved used to have our country as their #1 market in the south east. i don't think they would just give up without a huge fight especially when the local election is near :D
