It was a great last week for me, especially during my seminar class of my master's degree. The seminar group hosting the event had invited a lot of speakers who are experts and active in the open source community. For those who wish to know the names of the speakers and thier specialties, I will list them here.

Mr. Rogie Masangkay - An introduction into the open source mission and Philo.
Mr. Holden Hao - Who talked about the open source programs impact into the economy.
Ms. Evamay Dela Rosa - delivered a talk about Business Intellegence (a term that as of yet I do not fully understand). She introduced the Pentaho Business Intelligence.
Mr. Erik Lozarita - The man behind watchtower(GIS/SMS solution to Asset Management/Monitoring System). A java based tracking system, that is developed in Davao.
Mr. Andrew Abogado - Desktop Publishing
Sweet and Leslie - CPA's who are using and deploying open ERP.
