Hello everyone! I am very much willing to support this idea. However, at this time we are also busy participating on the CICT-iSchools Project. This project aims to bridge the digital divide among public high schools across the country. iSchools advocates the adoption of FOSS (Free Open Source Software) in which Ubuntu is the operating system of choice. We as SUC-partner participates in various trainings/seminars and conferences in order to train teachers how to efficiently use ICT as tool for teaching and learning in the 21st century. It is in this endeavor that I would like to signify my interest to be part and take active involvement to the growing community of Ubuntu users.
Mabuhay and more power to Ubuntu-PH LoCo Team!
