About

AsiaSource-Pilpinas was formed to gather delegates of Asia Source 1 and 2 from the Philippines (vernacular: Pilipinas). Asia Source camps are source camps that focused on capability-building and empowerment with Free/Open Source Software. Asia Source 1 was held in 2005 in Bangalore (India) and Asia Source 2 in 2007 in Sukabumi, Indonesia.

AsiaSource-Pilipinas was created and formally launched as a team (with the same name) for the Software Freedom Day 2007 and actively took part in the day's activities in collaboration with other F/OSS groups in Manila, Philippines.

The group continues to promote the source camp concept and F/OSS in other activities and events organized by the International Open Source Network ASEAN+3 (IOSN ASEAN+3), a F/OSS advocacy group established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under its Asia-Pacific Development and Information Programme (APDIP) initiative.

AsiaSource-Pilipinas is gearing itself for the planning and organizing preparations for the forthcoming Asia Source 3, which will be hosted by the Philippines in 2009.
