Well, schools are a good place to start advocacy:) Maybe we could also try and see how SMEs could benefit from using F/OSS. Alternatives to what people currently know are what we need to give them so that they would give it a try... And eventually, they would prefer it :D > > makakatulong siguro kung yung mga estudyanteng gusto > matuto ng linux ay magtayo ng mga LUG sa school nila > (kung wala pa). kahit hindi pormal na LUG siguro. Or we could go to various schools. There are existing student organizations which could be tapped so we could have talks, fora, symposia, etc on their campuses. Coordinating with the student councils and computer clubs for one thing. And in high schools, in case you are a professional, you may give career talks ;) Just things I thought of.
