Kenneth, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed para umabot ang Visa application. Everyone, think positive vibes para ma-approve ang Visa in time for the Summit sa Oct 5. I'll bring our photos doon and give a short presentation about what PH is doing with Drupal! :)

PS. Wala pang shirt :)

The Google Mentor's Summit will be using "unconference style" which is similar to (or even rooted in) the Open Space discussion format, which we experienced early this year. Cool ang format na ito. It allows anyone to post any topic and hold an instant conference session. So I posted this proposal for a topic:

The GSoC Experience in Asia and "The Third World"

I'd like to meet up with mentors and students from Asia and "The 3rd World" and discuss issues we face/faced. This is not just on Drupal but on all other projects as well.

As a mentor from this region, I found it a bit lonely to have minimal participation from our country (the Philippines). I think this is an undertaking/cause that's worthy to promote in our respective countries, especially because open source software like Drupal is a cheap but viable alternative for our region.

I'd like to know if this is the same for the others out there. Maybe we can find common ground and share tips on how to promote GSoC in our region.

Update: Got My Visa -- all set!

Guys! My visa application for US was approved earlier today. I've just been too busy that I couldn't post this. I am now making the flight reservations to make the trip on Oct 5. I will stay for a week to see the sights and then when I return, we can hold our 2nd Meet Up! This time, mas informal tayo kesa dati, with inuman if possible.

Saan ninyo gustong gawin?

First of all, congrats sa pagme-mentor mo ulit sa GSoC. Congrats din for getting another US visa on time (I have a bleak score story diyan with 1 out of 5 success rate hahaha). Good luck, but I'm pretty sure you'll be having a grand time there. Side note: totoo po ba na may GoogleTV?

Kahit saan ka magpainom ay magdadala na ako ng pulutan ngayon (sorry for last time). And that's a promise worth keeping. Pero I heard chocolates and beer don't match well. Chocolates and wine pwede pa siguro. Puro ba parinig? Hehehe...

Drupal shirt size ko po ay medium to large. Tsaka size ng Drupal shoe ko ay, siguro 7. Wala lang po, banggit ko lang. :-D
