MOSS: 1st Hands-on Power Training

Mindanao Open Source Society (MOSS) held its 1st Hands-on Power Training at the ADZU Open Source Laboratory. It was totally a new experience for me since I really do not know how to organize events. There is always a first time as they say. I really thank God for making this event a success though not yet perfect but hopefully the next will be planned and organized well. This event is so memorable for me since I have learned a lot of things that are not just technically related to Free and Open Source Software.


To Sir Fhics, thank you so much and I salute you sir! Sir Fhics is the head of CISCO Zamboanga. He is so down-to-earth, very kind, open-minded and a skilled man yet so humble. He is one of those skilled persons who never sets a gap between himself and those who are just starting up (newbies). He even considers himself a “droplet of water in the ocean of knowledge.” Again, thank you sir! I have learned not just pure networking stuffs from you but also values that are applicable to life as well.


To Ma’am Yolynne, you are one of a kind, you never let us down. Especially during those times when we were almost losing hope and our morale was almost negative 30,000 feet below sea level. You’ve shown us an understanding and a caring heart. Thank you so much. There should be more people like you in this world. Thank you for not just being part of my journey to the open source world but also to my life’s journey.


To Rj Ian Sevilla, Jay Manligas, Macky Alger, thanks bros! I know we can make it better the next time around. We have some mistakes but I know that from those we’ve grown as a person. Let’s congratulate ourselves for a successful event.


To the ADZU Computer Center staff, thanks a lot for helping us! Ma’am Maureen Bello, Sir Greg! Sir Genner Cerna, Sir Richter Vecina, Ma’am Girlie, Ma’am Cathy. Pro Deo et Patria!


To the new MOSS members, this event wouldn’t be a success if it weren’t because of you. Welcome to the open source world. Always stay interested. :) God bless us all.
