Fedora Ambassador Meeting

Monday, Nov 16, 2009, 11:09 PM

Just got back from a productive meeting of minds with Red Hat's Mel Chua and fellow Fedora Ambassadors Herson Pagcaliwagan and Engels Antonio. We capped the night with coffee and tea after a Pinoy dinner treat at a resto in UP-Ayala Techno Hub.

APNG Logo Concepts

Sunday, Nov 8, 2009, 3:00 PM

During our online meeting at APNG, I learned that more entries for the logo competition are needed. Here's a rough concept on graphing paper.

The height can be adjusted to give the letter G two blocks per side instead of the top side (recessed) currently having only one. However, this might make N and G look bigger than A and P.

I added some shading with random colors below, just to emphasize the 3D concept. These can be replaced with the appropriate APNG colors. Additional graphics, like a map of Asia-Pacific, can be placed on the large space of the P and G z-axis.

Corazon Cojuangco Aquino (1933-2009)

Saturday, Aug 1, 2009, 3:18 AM

The Philippines' mother of democracy will forever be remembered even after all the yellow ribbons have gone. Cory is known as the first female president in South East Asia, the queen that we never had, Time Magazine's first female man of the year and the most prayed-for Filipino during her fight with colon cancer. I hope that the upcoming 2010 election candidates will somehow emulate or even just dip in President Aquino's humility and prowess through serving the nation first before himself; pleasing God first before others.

APNG Fellowship

Monday, Jun 1, 2009, 7:36 PM

I was awarded a full fellowship for the upcoming 11th Asia Pacific Networking Group Camp which will be held on 20 - 22 July 2009 in conjunction with the 28th Asia Pacific Advance Network (APAN) meeting at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel & Convention Center Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The participants in this year's APNG camp seem to have been trimmed down to less than 40 fellows compared to last year. I wasn't able to modify my picture here though.

Good thing I'll be flying with Myra Siason to KL. Hope to be alive, alert and awake when I present the Philippine camp report on the first day of the event. May the 1AM-6AM sleeping hours be my friend.

The following day, I will be presenting my paper on E-Culture with topic focusing on a home-made Content Management System (CMS) -- My Activity Journal - Blogs and Wikis: Environments for Online Collaboration. This Open Source project is downloadable at http://maj.sourceforge.net/.

Here's the complete schedule of the camp.

What I'm thinking about is the waking time for the whole duration of the camp. The time difference between my boot up time in Manila will be sooo far from that of APNG's requirement.

I hope I can join the shuttle on-time as it leaves the hotel at 7:45AM !
