• 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.
