This is a very good start Efren! The first Ubuntu hour for Ubuntu Philippines. I hope many can attend. Too bad im an OFW. But no worries so let us campaign more so that more will join and more will help the translation. We also need to campaign from Radio Stations and Television because Radio and Television are more accessible to people and basic communication channels where people can get information. So let us go to the Radio stations and Television station to campaign. I think campaigning in Radio Stations is free and there is a Government TV channel and maybe it is free also. We need also to campaign in the Government and Private businesses Maybe we can at schools because schools are connected to the Government and the Government will know about Linux and Private businesses will follow. We will go to schools by posting campaigns their bulletin boards and convince people that you will not keep reinstalling your operating system if you install Linux because your operating system will be bogged down by viruses like Windows.
Linus Trovalds asked for help in the internet for his operating system hobby project before. Look at Linux now. Linux is "bayanihan" where everybody will just help. Maybe Linus Trovalds is Filipino because he knows what is bayanihan. So there is no harm to ask help. Let us work together in the mailing list, forum, irc, meetings (like the incoming Ubuntu hour on Saturday, 09 of June, 2012 at 17:00-19:00, i hope many can attend) Do you know that Google use Ubuntu. Here is what Eduardo Bergavera edbergav...@gmail.co posted on his Google+ page: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/05/how-google-developers-use-ubuntu.html?m=1 Efren, if translating the Ubuntu base installation is a bigger task, maybe we can make our own distro listing only the neccessary software that the Filipinos need and remove some features on the Ubuntu base installation that is not needed by the Filipino so that we will translate only the apps that are most used by Filipinos like web browser, chatting software and word processing. For games, most Filipinos are playing online games using the web browser. This is just an idea to minimize the task in minimizing the translation task of the Ubuntu base installation. Like Google above from the link, the made their own distro by removing some features on the base installation. We also try supporting the LTS version so that the distro is more stable. Efren, I hope the Ubuntu hour will be successful and all will enjoy the meeting with food and drinks (juice and little beer :)) Cheers from me with a San Miguel beer on my hand! Cheers to all Ubuntu users in the Philippines and all open source software users in the Philippines!
