Developer says RP should contribute to open source community 

,----[ Quote ]
| "The most important thing is how much do you contribute back to the open 
| source community," he said, stressing that merely saying that one is a user 
| of open source software is a good start.  
| 
| Giving feedback or even sharing documentation of open source projects to the 
| open source community is another way Filipino developers can "influence" the  
| direction of global open source projects.

Review: Bayanihan Linux 4

,----[ Quote ]
| Bayanihan Linux 4 is a pretty good, simple, distribution. It is
| easy to install and manage and it gets you going quickly right out of
| the box. That being said it doesn?t have all the latest gizmos and eye
| candy of the current wave of Linux distributions. It also doesn't have
| a huge package repository, but you can probably add some more.
|
| It?s not bad for a government sponsored distribution and if it gets
| more people to switch to Linux, that?s a good thing. Power users will
| want more than Bayanihan provides, but the average computer user will
| find all they need in Bayanihan.
