<OT> Hey, Orly. Why not donate the materials to Preginet (ASTI-DOST - http://www.pregi.net)? They have a digital library project there based on Greenstone -- I'm sure your materials will be useful. :) </OT> Topic suggestions: * Best practices (yet again, as I think these have been tackled last year) in several settings: enterprise, academe, government, NGOs/POs, etc. * Is open source ready for the desktop primetime? With the emergence of "popular" distros like Ubuntu, among others, do we see an uptake on their use for desktops? * As Migs pointed: APIs (Google, Yahoo) and their applications in the Philippines (who uses these and for what projects). :) -- Ian Dexter R.
