This document discusses open data and open source initiatives in the Philippines. It begins with a disclaimer from the author Maning Sambale about his perspectives. It then discusses concepts like open data, free culture movements, open source software, open formats, and free content. Examples of open initiatives in the Philippines are provided like OpenStreetMap and Project NOAH. The document ends with excuses people give for not sharing data openly and messages from users of open mapping data in the Philippines.

The Autonomo.us Open Software Services Evolution, featuring Identi.ca Jon Phillips
Who provides your e-mail service? Where do you post your photos? Do you download music still? When all of our data is spread amongst multiple devices between multiple locations – home, office, and mobile – then it becomes clear why on-line network services rule supreme over managing personal computers in providing synchronized capable services that don't require us to update software or hack-in fixes. The modern person's primary concern in using a computer is to get things done and stay connected with others globally in the most effective ways possible.
The shift to on-line network services, often partnered with cloud computing, requires us all to question whose cloud our data is in, what can the cloud owner do with it, and what rights are we forking over to be on cloud nine. For example, if I use Google's Gmail service, what can Google do with my e-mail data? This last summer 2008 a great example emerged when the mega-popular micro-blogging service Twitter failed regularly resulting in pop-culture fall-out with sightings of the fail whale. Open Source hero Evan Prodromou of WikiTravel-fame stepped up and realized the shortcomings of Twitter's locked approach and created Identi.ca, an Open Software Service based micro-blogging web service that both worked solidly, replicated common functionality from similar services, and allowed for others to hack on the project, or set-up their own connected site if so desired.
This presentation looks at the landscape of services like Identi.ca which are adapting the Free and Open Source Software approach to on-line network services publicly championed from the Autonomo.us blog. This is timely because the personal computing shift from the desktop to the web is a hot topic with the Gnome Online Desktop and Gnome 3.0 initiatives. However, with long development cycles, arduous community learning curves and reliance upon cranky software languages, the simple accessible nature of web application development is thriving. This presentation instigates increased development on web services that protect user autonomy by commonly using the GNU Affero GPL 3.0 software license, creating free services to replace popular non-free alternatives, and by replacing centralized services with open distributed ones when possible. This presentation emphasizes the role of the Gnome Desktop to be a lean mean on-line desktop machine and what role Chinese businesses can play in accelerating this next dynamic wave of the FLOSS movement.
Hacks4Democracy – A hackday on opendata
The Opendata Hackday is a two day barcamp-style meetup on 17/18 April 2010. The goal of the event is to demonstrate that it’s possible to progam creative and innovative prototypes and applications, in short time and on a low budget, that allow us to make data from politics and public administration accessible and usable.
Open Data Hackday & Apps4Democracy
Der "Open Data Hackday" und der "Apps4Democracy" Wettbewerb sind zwei Veranstaltungen in 2010 mit denen wir den gesellschaftlichen Nutzen von Open Data sowie konkrete Beispiele für Anwendungen, Services und Mashups einer breiten Öffentlichkeit anschaulich vorstellen möchten.
Der Opendata Hackday ist eine zweitägiges Treffen am 17. und 18. April 2010, in Stil eines Barcamps. Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es zu zeigen, dass sich innerhalb kurzer Zeit und ohne großes Budget, kreative und innovative Prototypen und Anwendungen programmieren lassen mit denen man die Daten aus Politik und öffentlicher Verwaltung zugänglich und nutzbar machen kann.
Der Ideenwettbewerb ist eröffnet: Wer hat die besten Ideen für Webseiten / Apps / Visualisierungen / Mashups um die Daten der öffentlichen Verwaltung zugänglich zu machen und so dazu beizutragen Verwaltung und Regierung offen, transparent und bürgernah zu gestalten?
Wir laden alle engagierten Programmierer, Webentwickler, Grafik- und UI-Designer, Researcher, Journalisten und andere Interessierte ein mit uns am Hackday spannende Diskussionen zu führen und die ersten Prototypen und Anwendungen zu entwickeln.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

dear maning,
we are two totally blind guys who are probably the first users of
gps technology here in the philippines.
we already travelled from commonwealth to binondo using our gps
receivers and our talking cellphones and we arrived safely.
that's why we would like to meet with you so we can ask technical
info from you to improve our navigating.
...
kindly honor our request because we would like also to be active
contributors to what you are doing in mapping the philippines, well
perhaps to start a new map department for blind travelers.
i typed this letter using a screenreader with speech software,
forgive the non capitalization of beginning letters so i can type
fast to go with my flow of thought.
god bless you and thank you in advance for your precious time with
us.
sincerely,
dick

dear manig,
i went back to cabagan, isabela after 15 years and got nostalgic
marking the pois on a motorbike with cousin philip!
i live ecopark and did gps marking too.
quite a good coverage, i think, but need to go back for some that i
missed.
hope this will benefit gps users.
thank you.
dick
