About Asia Source 3, Held: 07-12 November, 2009, Where: Silan, Cavite, Philippines
Main Theme: Building Capacities and Empowering Humanity through the use of Free and Open Source Software to connect, cooperate, and collaborate – the FOSS way.
Aims of Asia Source 3: The aim of Asia Source 3 is to increase appropriate access to technology by non-profits and small enterprises in Asia. Its primary goal was to act as a focal point in increasing the awareness, integration and adoption of free and open source software(F/OSS) desktop and tools amongst the voluntary sector and IT support providers in the region.
Some Focul Area: Asia Source 3 was a six day hands-on open source camp in the Philippines aimed at building Open Source IT-skills of those working with NGOs and SMEs in Asia. From November 7 to 12, 2009, the gathering brought together more than 140 participants from 15 Asian countries in Silang, located in Cavite, Philippines to build capacities to connect, cooperate, and collaborate. Asia Source 3 reunited IT-experts from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and youth networks to focus on the practical elements of the deployment of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) within an economic and social context. The event was run as a hands-on training camp to increase the awareness, integration and adoption of FOSS tools in Asia.
It is the third event of the Asia source camp series, two of which have been held so far – in Bangalore, India in 2005 and Sukabumi, Indonesia in 2007.
This community building event is the first of its kind in the Philippines Previous large scale FOSS events have been policy oriented events, industry trade shows or Linux User Group Events. Asia Source is the first regional event bringing people together to focus on the practical elements of FOSS deployment specifically within a social context of sustainable human development.
Asia Source 3 Schedule: F/OSS-themed track sessions
The Community we made to CONNECT, COOPERATE, COLLABORATE: http://www.as3community.iosnasean.net/
How did I come to know: Got an announcement letter from IOSN informing about the event details and other stuffs.
Had some conversations with Munir Vaia, Shehab Vaia & obviously with my family members about my participation - should I apply or not on behalf of BdOSN. They encouraged me to apply and so I did.
IOSN, inWEnt short listed the applicants, and informed them about their participation. This time we were 4 people from Bangladesh - Me, Jamil Ahmed, Israt Jahan, Loba Yeasmen
I got chance in Track 4. We were 25 participants in this track. The total no. of participants were 150+
Mifan Careem (the SAHANA boss) and Johan Janassen (the joomla! guy) were the facilitators of Track 4. In track 4 we learn how to build up a community, the key factors, the nature of a community, sustainability of a community etc. We divided ourselves in 5 Teams and build up an online Community Portal (http://www.as3community.iosnasean.net/) for AS3 participants. I am one of the members of those teams(I worked/work as Coordinator for the Core Development team). I got some real time experience with community building, case study: SAHANA, Joomla!, AS3.
Gather some knowledge on SAHANA from Mifan. He demonastrated SAHANA. Mifan asked me/BdOSN to share the module with SAHANA Main Dev Team, which we build for Disaster Management Bureue.
Got some other valuable ideas, knowledge on some other F/OSS Tools, F/OSS practice, F/OSS business case studies from other participants, facilitators.
I conducted a session on telecentre-in-a-box. Basically it was an open discussion session. I heared from the telecentre practitionars - their stories, what they want etc. They encouraged me to go ahed with telecentre-in-a-box.
IOSN encouraged me/BdOSN to continue working with telecentre-in-a-box, SAHANA etc.
IOSN also asked me/BdOSN to organize a camp on F/OSS in our country, IOSN will love to support us.
you will find lots of photographs/kodac moments in my facebook account album.

Asia Source 3 Schedule: F/OSS-themed track sessions
- Track 1: Managing Your Information: As technology continues to pervade human activity, digital information will accumulate at a phenomenal rate.
- Track 2: Migrating to F/OSS: Free and/or open source software are easy to install and fun to use! But how do you get your colleagues, friends, and organization to experience the same?
- Track 3: Broadcasting Your Information: Now that you have all your files neatly organized and under control, you need to share these to the world and let others benefit from your own resources.
- Track 4: Joining the F/OSS Community or Using F/OSS Tools: F/OSS is all about community. AS3 aims to bring seasoned F/OSS developers into the camp and allow cross-pollination of ideas and techniques.
