September 17, 2016 @ 'National Teachers College / Technological Institute of the Philippines
Quiapo, Manila, Philippines
Each year, we strive to bring our celebration of Software Freedom Day to a new level by highlighting the role of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) not just in everyday computing but in nation building. For this year's SFD Philippines celebration, we will be celebrating SFD Philippines with the theme, “The CHANGE WE NEED: FOSS, Better Internet, Data Privacy, Atbp.” This is in recognition of the need of the information and communications technology (ICT) community to articulate the specific and immediate changes we need, with emphasis on FOSS, better internet and data privacy. We aim to tell the world that change is not just FOSSible - change is what we need!
The SFD Philippines 2016 program seeks to promote inquiry, foster dialogue, enhance skills, and encourage individual and collective action among attendees. The morning plenary session will focus on FOSS, better internet, and data privacy policy, practice and issues while afternoon sessions will feature web technologies, open hardware, open content, and other practical applications of FOSS for developers, artists, students, entrepreneurs and educators. In the spirit of free and open software, giveaways and the latest versions of free operating systems and applications will also be available for copying on site.
