NGO-In-a-Box - Pi Villanueva
NGO-in-a-box (BaseBox) is a collection of open source software tools designed to meet the specialized technology needs of non-profits. It contains peer-reviewed FOSS tools for running small to medium NGOs, including office suites, project management, website creation, and systems administration. The BaseBox provides a cost-effective alternative to proprietary software, avoids technology lock-in, and promotes autonomy among users. However, some FOSS tools have poor documentation and steep learning curves that BaseBox does not fully overcome.
Foss Davao Experience - Nathaniel Jayme
This document summarizes Davao, Philippines' efforts to promote free and open source software (FOSS). It discusses how the local FOSS community of DabaweGNU was formed in 2003 and has since conducted various training seminars and projects to raise awareness of FOSS. It outlines opportunities to advocate for FOSS adoption among local businesses and government. Finally, it proposes future initiatives like mentorship programs, conferences, and internet cafe promotions to further the growth of FOSS in Davao.
Why Use FOSS in GenSan Bronx Hebrona
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) comprise 99% of businesses in General Santos City and many rely on the tuna industry. While the city is developing as a technology hub, few SMEs have computerized operations due to cost concerns. Free and open source software (FOSS) can help SMEs adopt technology more quickly and efficiently by reducing costs compared to proprietary software. FOSS allows SMEs to save on licensing fees and customize software to meet their needs. It also encourages innovation as the source code is publicly available and supports long-term competitiveness for SMEs.
The future of open source and assistive technologies

Miyagawa
Plagger is a pluggable RSS/Atom aggregation platform that allows users to create custom applications by combining different plugin modules. It provides plugins for subscription, aggregation, filtering, publishing, notification, and search functions. The document gives examples of how Plagger can be used to build applications like a Bloglines to Gmail importer, an RSS bot for IRC, and a planet generator. However, the author notes that Plagger currently lacks documentation and has many dependencies, technical issues, and feature requests logged on its website.
Shakira
Shakira is a popular singer and entertainer. The document repeatedly states that Shakira rules in an enthusiastic manner. Overall it expresses fandom and admiration for Shakira through short repeated phrases declaring she rules.
Office 2007 Service Pack 1 Changes All
The document lists changes made in Office 2007 Service Pack 1 for various Microsoft Office applications. For each application (e.g. Access, Excel, Outlook), it provides the application name, documentation type (KB for Knowledge Base or N/A), and KB article number or N/A. There are many entries, suggesting the service pack included updates for security, stability and functionality for many of the Office applications.
Os Timed Original
The document discusses the history of copyright and its impact on creativity and innovation. It notes that in 1774, the Donaldson v. Beckett case established the idea of a "free culture" by limiting copyright to a defined term, but that over time copyright duration has been continually extended to the point where it is now "life plus 70 years." The document argues that current copyright and technology laws have greatly restricted creativity and innovation by over-regulating uses and creating an opaque system that is increasingly controlled by large entities seeking to limit competition. It advocates for more transparent and freely shared creative works through open licensing models as a way to enable future creativity as societies have done in the past by limiting the control of past works.

Baseline for Born Accessible EPUB 3
This document discusses establishing a baseline for creating accessible EPUB publications. It proposes that publications should:
1) Provide accessible content in EPUB 3 format, supported by reading systems that can present the full text across platforms and integrate with assistive technologies like screen readers.
2) Use the native semantics of HTML5 to structure content in a logical reading order and enable effective navigation.
3) Include alternative text descriptions for non-decorative images to convey information to all readers.
The document calls for collaboration across the publishing industry to develop these baseline requirements and certification processes to identify accessible publications, with the goal of continually raising standards over time.
Improving Accessible Publication Delivery Globally With DAISY Online
DAISY Online is a global protocol for managing content delivery between online services and users. Version 2 simplifies and improves the protocol. It allows reading systems to discover, stream, download, and manage accessible content like DAISY, EPUB, Braille and podcasts from online services. The protocol provides features like rights management, content discovery through dynamic menus, automatic configuration of reading systems, and bookmark synchronization across devices.

Handshake Between Content and Readers: Testing Mainstream Reading Systems
Mainstream reading devices and apps do not guarantee information access for all
readers. All the hard work of enhancing an EPUB 3 document for people with
disabilities is lost if the EPUB 3 reader itself is not accessible.
By crowdsourcing accessibility evaluations of mainstream reading
systems in a systematic way and making these evaluations publicly available
developers and device manufacturers can be advised to make
specific improvements to enable access to information for all.
