A friend of mine told me about Bluepoint and decided to enroll. The money I paid for was truly worth every penny. I've learned a lot from this class from concepts, administration down to security. It not only gave me the freedom in w/c other OS do not offer but it also let me be in control. I am always excited to attend the every class and there were never a dull moment in discussions. All topics are very interesting and related. As a system administrator in one of the biggest broadcasting companies in the country, it made me realize more the value of being a true administrator. I am currently exploring Fedora 17 and started to influence some of my friends already. I plan to apply what I learned from the class to my work environment because I know it will be very beneficial and cost effective. Thank you so much Sir Engels for being a great teacher and also I Thank God for the people who created Linux/Fedora. Eleazer S.

I happily said that "THERE IS!" INCRON (inotify cron) is the answer my friend. Since incron is part of Fedora EPEL, installing it is like a breeze. The student is amazed after I demonstrated some of its capabilities. Thanks to Master Engels, may naisagot ako sa student ko. http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121208233019 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121208233019 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121201222105 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121201222105 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121128202851 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20121128202851 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120825202522 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120825202522 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120606000045 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120606000045 bluepoint.com.ph AAAA 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe93:4dac http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120521025033 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120521025033 Individual1 to 3 enrolleesregular schedulesubsidized tuitionCorporatebatch of 4 or moreon-demand schedulesubsidized tuitionScholar1 or more per classsubject to available slotssubsidized tuition Linux Express®19,000 per head16,530 per head1,900 per head Total Linux®49,350 per head42,935 per head4,935 per head Extreme PHP™24,675 per head21,468 per head2,467 per head http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120310220339 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120310220339 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120104210237 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20120104210237 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20111210232041 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20111210232041 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20111112231247 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20111112231247 Bluepoint was happy to host the Fedora 16 Release Party which was held by Fedora Philippines from 4PM to 10PM today at the Kilosbayan House in Mandaluyong City. http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20110927165857 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20110927165857 The tail end of typhoon Pedring (Nesat) is expected to bring more rain and possible flooding in Metro Manila until late this week.

A couple of organizations that have been regularly joining our SFD celebrations since 2007 held their own SFD events this year, so we were not expecting as many participants as before. To our pleasant surprise, two venues at the NCC were needed to accommodate all of our pre-registered and walk-in attendees. 09:30REGISTRATION 10:00InvocationEddie SalongaBluepoint Foundation 10:05Welcome RemarksAngelita NicolasNCC 10:20Software Freedom DayMagie AntonioSFD 2011 Team Leader 10:30Promoting an Open Source-based National Health Information SystemAlvin MarceloIOSN ASEAN+3 11:00Cloud Computing at NASA: An Inside LookEngels AntonioBluepoint Institute 11:30Red HatLei BautistaRed Hat 12:00LUNCH BREAK 13:00Malaya BurnerMichael BalcosBLUE 14:00Open Source Network Gaming ActionRyan BaclitBLUE 15:00FOSS Through The LensEmmanuel BalintecBLUE 16:00Goldilocks: Harnessing the Advantage of Open SourceEdward MontanaBLUE Kim Murga-DaquiganMaster of CeremoniesNCC Audio Visual Room Emmanuel TomasaMaster of CeremoniesNCC Seminar Room Registration is closed.200 attendees pre-registered online for this event.

After 12 years of surviving on a fluctuating income, we are pleased to announce the establishment of the Bluepoint Endowment Fund. It doesn't take much to keep Bluepoint running. We just need to raise a principal of at least PHP 4,000,000 (USD 90,000 or EUR 68,000 or GBP 59,000) to ensure Bluepoint's continued Open Source advocacy, education, and development activities for the next 12 years. The principal of the fund will not be spent. It will remain intact and earn dividends, which will be used by Bluepoint to meet its mission and goals. Since the principal will remain from year to year, and grow as people contribute to the fund, Bluepoint will have a secure financial base from which to realize its vision. You can help Bluepoint gain financial stability by contributing to the fund. Your one-time donation of PHP 25,000 (USD 575 or EUR 430 or GBP 370) or more will be a gift that will keep giving to Bluepoint's beneficiaries for many years to come. http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20110612235950 http://bluepoint.com.ph/index.php?entry=20110612235950 This was Bluepoint in 1999. It was a time of Open Source advocacy and education, when people still had to be taught how to correctly pronounce Linux. Income derived from courses offered by Bluepoint Institute was (and still is) the major source of funding for Bluepoint Foundation's projects. instituteeducation foundationadvocacy Ten years later, Bluepoint started "incubating" BHive and BCode. The former is focused on Linux virtual private server management, the latter on Open Source software customization and development. We hope to spin these off into independent organizations once they are ready to stand on their own. codedevelopment instituteeducationhiveinfrastructure foundationadvocacy The sorry state of computer education in the preparatory, grade school and high school levels observed by some Bluepointers prompted the creation of DevTree last summer. It formally became part of the Bluepoint Incubator Project in June 2011. codedevelopmentdevtreecurriculum instituteeducationhiveinfrastructure foundationadvocacy Proceeds from these pods will help generate funds for Bluepoint Foundation, employ Bluepoint Institute graduates, and provide grants for local Free and Open Source Software developers and innovators.
