Feedback
I enrolled in Bluepoint's Total Linux course in June of 2001. Aside from learning Linux through a well-designed course, I also made a lot of new friends - sharing our enthusiasm for Linux, as well as other aspects of life. But what stood out in my mind, were the people behind Bluepoint: Magie Antonio, Engels Antonio, and Eddie Salonga. Their passion and dedication to making world-class Linux training accessible to under-privileged Filipino students is inspiring and infectious. Most of the alumni I have met (including myself), have volunteered to either train, fund, or help organize Bluepoint's free training seminars to advocate the use of Open Source technology all over the Philippines.

Bluepoint Christmas 2001
Sunday, Dec 9, 2001, 11:00 PM

Bluepoint held its first alumni homecoming today at the Kilosbayan House in Mandaluyong City.


The alumni homecoming cum Christmas party was attended by graduates of Bluepoint's Total Linux and Web Development courses. Aside from special numbers by Eddie Salonga and Bluepoint faculty, elections were also held for the alumni association's first set of officers:

President - Mike Calingasan (Total Linux 8)
Vice-President - Leyo Magpayo (Total Linux 10)
Secretary - Arvin San Andres (Total Linux 3)
Treasurer - Carlos Yu (Total Linux 11)

There was food a-plenty as everyone contributed to the potluck-style party. An Open Source-biased Win-Lose-Or-Draw game was led by Magie Antonio. Representatives from Total Linux 8 and 10 teamed up to win the cool Bluepoint mugs up for grabs. Engels Antonio announced the Bluepoint-Red Hat partnership in his closing remarks.
