it@foss - Promoting Free and Open Source Software in Southeast Asia

it@foss supports the development and application of local innovative software solutions and business models based on free and open source software (FOSS) in the ASEAN region. [Introduction]

it@foss promotes FOSS in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam at four levels:

  • Awareness + Knowledge: We aim to enable software developers, decision makers and businesses to make sound assessments on benefits and risks of FOSS solutions and to stimulate their sharing of experiences.
  • Development + Cooperation: We contribute to building an active FOSS developer community that collaborates on locally adapted software products, receiving support and ideas through regional and international networks.
  • Business Models: We facilitate cooperation between European and Asian companies, to inspire and strengthen the development of viable and sustainable FOSS-based business solutions.
  • Education + Dissemination: We empower multiplying organizations to cooperate and to competently train others on FOSS applications and opportunities, in order to increase users' familiarity with FOSS.

  • Asia Source 3 meeting reinforces Asian Free and Open Source Software movement [it@inwent]

    - 150 representatives from Asian NGOs and SMEs gather for open source camp
    - Open source advocates discuss tools, business models, and communities
    - Theme of Asia Source 3: Building Capacities and Empowering Humanity through FOSS

    While most technology conferences happen as swanky, slick, and well-rehearsed events, the recently concluded Asia Source 3 took the opposite track and ran a camp that was spartan yet spontaneous. From November 7 to 12, 2009, Asia Source 3 gathered 150 representatives from all over Asia in the Philippines to discuss developments in open source. For those six days, the campers lived in a communal environment that married fun and relaxation with exchange of ideas.
